RESUMO
Layered van der Waals (vdW) chalcogenides of 3d transition metals are a rich source of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, in which atomically thin layers with the terminating chalcogen atoms exhibit promising functionality for novel spintronic devices. Here, we report on the synthesis, crystal growth, and magnetic properties of FeAl2Se4, MnAl2S4, and MnAl2Se4 ternary chalcogenides. Crystal structures are probed by powder X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. We improve the structural models of FeAl2Se4 and MnAl2S4 and show that isostructural MnAl2S4 and MnAl2Se4 crystallize in the centrosymmetric R3Ì Ì m space group. In the crystal structure, transition metal and Al atoms mutually occupy the octahedral and tetrahedral voids of four close-packing chalcogen layers terminated by vdW gaps. The transition-metal atoms form a triangular arrangement inside the close-packing layers. As a result, FeAl2Se4 and MnAl2S4 show no long-range magnetic order in the studied temperature range. In the paramagnetic state, Fe and Mn possess effective magnetic moments of 4.99(2) and 5.405(6) µB, respectively. Furthermore, FeAl2Se4 enters a frozen spin-disordered state below 12 K.

Correction for 'High-coercivity hexaferrite ceramics featuring sub-terahertz ferromagnetic resonance' by Evgeny A. Gorbachev et al., Mater. Horiz., 2022, 9, 1264-1272, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/D1MH01797G.
RESUMO
Herein, we demonstrate for the first time compact ferrite ceramics with giant coercivity. The materials are manufactured via sintering single-domain Sr0.67Ca0.33Fe8Al4O19 particles synthesized by a citrate-nitrate auto-combustion method. The obtained ceramics show coercivities up to 22.5 kOe and natural ferromagnetic resonance frequencies (NFMR) in a sub-THz range of 160-282 GHz. At a maximum density of 95%, the sample displays coercivity of 18.5 kOe, which is the highest value among dense ferrite materials reported so far. In addition, we report an unusual blueshift of the NFMR frequency from 160 to 200 GHz, which occurs during material sintering.
