Long range magnetic ordering and magneto-(di) electric effect in a new class of high entropy spinel oxide
Résumé
Herein, a new class of high entropy spinel material with composition (Mg0.2Co0.2Ni0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2)Cr2O4 is introduced. Detailed structural and microstructural characterizations highlight that the sample crystallizes in a cubic spinel structure with an excellent chemical homogeneity at the nanoscale. A peak in the dielectric measurement is observed at the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature (35 K), indicating the possibility of magneto-electric coupling at that temperature. Our study, for the first time, highlights the feasibility to accommodate multiple elements onto a single sublattice in a complex spinel structure and opens new possibilities to design and tailor functional properties in high entropy stabilized correlated electron systems.
