Unprecedentedly Wide Curie-Temperature Windows as Phase-Transition Design Platform for Tunable Magneto-Multifunctional Materials

Abstract

A series of unprecedentedly wide Curie-temperature windows (CTWs) between 40 and 450 K are realized by employing the isostructural alloying principle for the strongly coupled magnetostructural phase transitions in a single host system. The CTWs provide a design platform for magneto-multifunctional multiferroic alloys that can be manipulated in a quite large temperature space in various scales and patterns, as well as by multiple physical fields.
