摘要 We report the tunable magnetic structures in the helimagnet YBa⁢(C⁢u1−𝑥⁢F⁡e𝑥)2⁢O5 by changing various Cu/Fe ratios. The magnetic properties and structures of the samples were studied by using neutron- and x-ray powder diffraction and susceptibility measurements. The parent material YBaCuFe⁢O5 (YBCFO) exhibits two antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions at 𝑇𝑁⁢1∼450 K and 𝑇𝑁⁢2∼175 K. At 𝑇𝑁⁢1, YBCFO shows a commensurate (CM) spin ordering with a q-wave vector 𝒌𝒄⁢𝟏=(1/21/21/2), which transfers to a spiral magnetic ordering at 𝑇𝑁⁢2 with an incommensurate 𝑞-wave vector (1/2 1/2 1/2 ±δ), δ being the incommensurability. Using neutron powder diffraction for samples with 0.490≤𝑥≤0.505, 𝑇𝑁⁢2 was observed to systematically increase from 125 to 236 K as a function of the Cu/Fe ratio. For 𝑥=0.510 and 0.515, additional magnetic reflections with a propagation vector 𝒌𝒄⁢𝟐=(1/21/20) appear below 𝑇𝑁⁢3∼245 and 269 K, respectively. This CM phase shows a collinear magnetic ordering. These transition temperatures are consistent with the AFM transitions of the magnetization data. Experiments were also conducted to synthesize the samples with different thermal treatments, demonstrating the 𝑇𝑁⁢2 and 𝑇𝑁⁢3 to be sensitive to the annealing conditions. These results can be understood within the framework of the random distributions of the dopants (impurities) at the 𝐵 site of a double-perovskite lattice and demonstrate that the magnetic ordering in the helimagnet YBCFO can be systematically tuned by changing the Cu/Fe ratio.
