Abstract:
To elucidate the impact of a high entropy elemental distribution of the lattice site on the magnetic properties in oxide compounds, a series of complex perovskites BaBO3 (B = Y, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, and Ta) with different Fe content ratios (0, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4) have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. In this complex oxide series, superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry reveals a gradual change of a well-defined magnetic phase transition and B-site magnetic moment, which correlates with the Fe content. More importantly, a comprehensive analysis of the sample with a 0.4-Fe content (40% on the B-site) including magnetization, heat capacity, neutron diffraction, and muon-spin rotation measurements suggests that in the low-temperature state, a short-range antiferromagnetic correlation may exist, which could result from the magnetic interaction of Fe ions and consequent redistribution of associated d-electrons.

Ferromagnetism
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets....
