Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have for the first time identified an oxide that exhibits magnetic shape memory effect even at room temperature. The sample (La1-xSrxCoO (x=0.2)) elongated rapidly when a magnetic field was applied, and the elongation was maintained even when the field was removed. X-ray diffraction experiments showed that the fraction of crystalline domains changed, confirming that the magnetic field induced twinning deformation. We have investigated the valence and spin states of Co in In2O3 doped with Co (In2-xCoxO3). We found that Co existed in a divalent high-spin state in the amount of Co doped was small (x <0.04). The amount of Co doping increased, Co existed in the low or intermediate spin state of trivalent.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
従来,磁気形状記憶効果はほぼ金属合金の報告であったが,本研究により,室温でも酸化物において磁気形状記憶効果を確認することが出来た.絶縁体から金属まで導電性を制御できる酸化物において非接触アクチュエーターの可能性が示された. 希薄磁性酸化物中のコバルトは,従来,2価としてしか存在しないと考えられていたが,本研究により,3価としても存在することが確認された.3価のコバルトは,環境によってスピン状態が容易に変わるため,多彩な特性を示す可能性がある.
