Abstract:
The modulation of intrinsic magnetic properties of materials is of great importance for the exploration of new materials in the fields of information storage and spintronics. Herein, room-temperature ferromagnetic properties in BaZrO3 are successfully induced using supercritical CO2. The highest saturation magnetization intensity of BaZrO3 is observed at 16 MPa, with a value of 0.08189 emu g-1. It is noteworthy that this technique is observed to modulate the ferromagnetic properties of the material by converting the external physical pressure into the chemical pressure within the material through the intercalation and de-intercalation of CO2 molecules. This result gives us a new understanding of the modification mechanism of SC-CO2, which is important for material modification.

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...
