Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of novel functional material processing technology, specifically a method for enhancing the Curie temperature of ultrathin nickel cobalt oxide films. Background Technology
[0002] Spinel oxides are a typical representative of transition metal oxide materials. Their crystal structure contains two oxygen coordination structures and two linkage modes, which is beneficial for studying the oxygen coordination mechanism. Spinel oxides are chemically stable and possess advantages such as high hardness, high melting point, wear and corrosion resistance, and excellent thermal conductivity. They have significant research value in fields such as superhard materials, magnetic materials, catalysts, and conductive materials.
[0003] NiCo₂O₄ (NCO), an anti-spinel ferromagnet, is an emerging material due to its unique physical properties, such as perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, excellent metallic conductivity, high spin polarization, and high transition temperature. Furthermore, the physical properties of NCO thin films can be easily tuned by changing growth conditions due to the complex interactions between charge, spin, orbitals, and lattice degrees of freedom. However, when the thickness of NCO films is reduced to a few atomic layers, their room-temperature magnetic and electrical properties decrease, limiting their practical applications. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a method to increase the Curie temperature (Tc) of nano / sub-nanometer NCO thin films.
[0004] While various methods have been proposed to improve the performance of nickel cobalt oxide thin films, such as adjusting synthesis conditions, doping with other metal ions, and employing different preparation methods, some challenges remain. Existing techniques often struggle to maintain or improve conductivity while simultaneously increasing the Curie temperature.
[0005] Therefore, the existing solutions are not widely applicable and do not meet people's usage requirements. To address this, we have developed a method to enhance the Curie temperature of ultrathin nickel cobalt oxide films. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0053] A method for enhancing the Curie temperature of ultrathin nickel cobalt oxide films includes the following steps:
[0054] Step 1: Prepare NiCo2O4 target material using standard ceramic sintering process. NiO powder and Co3O4 powder are wet-milled in a ball mill jar with alcohol as a grinding aid at 400 rpm for 40 minutes, according to stoichiometric ratio. The mixture is then sintered for the first time in a muffle furnace at 750°C for 12 hours with a heating rate of 5°C per minute. The pre-sintered powder is then dry-milled again in a ball mill jar at 200 rpm for 20 minutes, followed by the addition of a binder. The mixture is then pressed into shape using a tablet press at 20 MPa for 15 minutes. Finally, a second sintering is performed in a muffle furnace at 750°C for 12 hours with a heating rate of 5°C per minute to obtain the desired ceramic target material.
[0055] Co3O4 targets were prepared using a standard ceramic sintering process. 20 grams of Co3O4 powder were accurately weighed and placed in a ball mill jar with alcohol as a grinding aid. The mixture was wet-milled at 400 rpm for 40 minutes until homogeneous. The mixture was then subjected to a first sintering in a muffle furnace at 750°C for 12 hours with a heating rate of 5°C per minute. The pre-sintered powder was then dry-milled again at 200 rpm for 20 minutes, followed by the addition of a binder. The mixture was then pressed into shape using a tablet press at 20 MPa for 15 minutes. Finally, a second sintering was performed in a muffle furnace at 750°C for 12 hours with a heating rate of 5°C per minute to obtain the desired ceramic target.
[0056] Step 2: Immerse the MgAl2O4 substrate in alcohol and clean it with an ultrasonic cleaner for 5 minutes. After cleaning, dry the MgAl2O4 substrate with nitrogen and immediately place it into the deposition chamber of the magnetron sputtering system.
[0057] Step 3: Close the magnetron sputtering system deposition chamber, start the mechanical pump, open the valve connecting the mechanical pump and the chamber to evacuate, and start the resistance gauge to measure the internal pressure of the chamber. Once the pressure drops below 1×10 Pa, close the connecting valve, open the molecular pump isolation valve, start the molecular pump, and fully open the molecular pump gate valve to connect the molecular pump and the chamber. When the pressure drops to 1×10 Pa... -1 At a pressure of Pa, open the ionization gauge. When the vacuum reaches 1 × 10⁻⁶ Pa, [the ionization gauge is activated]. -4After Pa, a 1:1 argon / oxygen (Ar / O2) mixture is introduced, and the opening of the gate valve is adjusted to maintain the gas pressure at 1 Pa. Then, the substrate is heated to 420°C.
[0058] Step 4: First, deposit a thin film on a MgAl2O4(001) single crystal substrate using a Co3O4 target via magnetron sputtering. Then, deposit a thin film on the Co3O4 film using a NiCo2O4 target (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown, first adjust the power supply, start the RF power supply, and keep the baffle closed for pre-sputtering for 5 minutes. After pre-sputtering, open the baffle to start sputtering, and control the film thickness by adjusting the sputtering time; specifically, the magnetron sputtering power is 40W and the rate is 14nm / hour.
[0059] During magnetron sputtering, the compositional uniformity and crystal quality of the thin film can be optimized by adjusting the sputtering energy, the appropriate temperature of the target, and the angle of the substrate.
[0060] Step 5: After the film deposition is complete, keep it at 420℃ for 30 minutes to make its composition more uniform, and then cool it down to room temperature.
[0061] The obtained samples were subjected to XRD tests (using a SmartLab SE XRD diffractometer manufactured by Rigaku Corporation, Japan), magnetic measurements of MPMS3, and electrical transport measurements of PPMS (MPMS3 and PPMS were from QuantumDesign, USA).
[0062] Atomic-scale interface engineering has become an important method for tuning the physical properties of thin films. This is achieved by introducing interfacial coupling effects, such as epitaxial strain, symmetry breaking, charge transfer, and orbital reconstruction. These findings provide an important pathway for manipulating the magnetic and transport properties of NCO thin films by adjusting cation valence states and site occupancy through interface engineering. Figure 1 As shown, we propose a NiCo2O4 / Co3O4 (NCO / CO) bilayer system, which can significantly improve the resistivity (Tc) above room temperature through interface engineering. This helps to address the miniaturization requirements and further promotes the application of NCO thin films as spintronic materials. Our study found that the film resistivity decreases sharply with increasing Co3O4 thickness. This observed phenomenon may be due to the interface coupling of Ni... 3+ The increased occupancy of ions at octahedral sites leads to an inherent linear relationship between resistivity and Curie temperature.
[0063] The test results are shown in the attached figure:
[0064] Figure 1 The image shows a structural diagram of the NCO / CO thin film sample we grew;
[0065] Figure 2 The X-ray reflectance (XRR) of NCO, CO, and NCO / CO films is shown, exhibiting a good correlation between time and thickness. The extracted thicknesses of the NCO, CO, and NCO / CO films are 3.1 nm, 4.6 nm, and 3.1 nm / 4.6 nm, respectively. The well-defined periodic oscillations observed in the XRR patterns indicate that the films all possess ordered periodic structures and clear interfaces.
[0066] Figure 3 The temperature-dependent in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) magnetization of the NCO (3.1 nm) / CO (4.6 nm) film after 2T field cooling is shown. In the out-of-plane direction, the magnetization is 0.18 μB / fu at around 380 K, close to 0, indicating that Tc reaches approximately 380 K, much higher than room temperature. This suggests that the insertion of the CO buffer layer leads to an increase in Tc of the NCO / CO film due to charge transfer and interfacial coupling effects at the CO-NCO interface.
[0067] Figure 4 An anomalous Hall effect was observed in NCO / CO thin films. The typical anomalous Hall resistance of a 3.1 nm thick NCO thin film and 3.1 nm / 4.6 nm thick NCO / CO thin films changes with temperature as follows: Figure 4 As shown. In Figure 4 As can be seen from a, a weak anomalous Hall effect can be observed at a temperature of 340K, which proves that the Tc of the 3.1nm monolayer NCO film is 340K. Figure 4 As can be seen in b, a weak anomalous Hall effect can also be observed at a temperature of 380K, which further proves that the Tc of the 3.1nm / 4.6nm NCO / CO thin film has reached 380K, which is much higher than room temperature.
[0068] Figure 5 As shown, at room temperature, the sheet resistance of a 1.1 nm NCO film with a CO buffer layer is reduced by two orders of magnitude compared to a monolayer NCO film, while the sheet resistance of a 3.1 nm NCO film is reduced by a factor of two. This indicates that the insertion of the CO buffer layer leads to a decrease in resistivity and an increase in conductivity in the NCO / CO film, due to charge transfer and interfacial coupling effects at the CO-NCO interface.
[0069] In summary, this invention provides a method for enhancing the Curie temperature of ultrathin nickel cobalt oxide films, resulting in the growth of high-quality NCO / CO heterostructures on MgAl2O4(001) substrates. Results show that the Curie temperature (Tc) of the NCO / CO heterostructure (with a CO buffer layer) is significantly enhanced compared to monolayer NCO films. Furthermore, compared to monolayer NCO films, a significant reduction in film resistance and enhanced conductivity were observed. The NCO / CO heterostructure also exhibits a clear anomalous Hall effect. These findings demonstrate that interfacial coupling is an effective strategy for modulating the physical properties of oxides, opening new opportunities for the application of NiCo2O4 materials in micro-spintronic devices and holding significant importance for promoting the application of magnetic oxide films in spintronics.
