Finite-size effect of antiferromagnetic transition and electronic structure in LiFePO4

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

The finite-size effect on the antiferromagnetic (AF) transition and electronic configuration of iron has been observed in LiFePO4. Determination of the scaling behavior of the AF transition temperature (TN) versus the particle-size dimension (L) in the critical regime 1-TN(L)/TN(XTL)\simL^-1 reveals that the activation nature of the AF ordering strongly depends on the surface energy. In addition, the effective magnetic moment that reflects the electronic configuration of iron in LiFePO4 is found to be sensitive to the particle size. An alternative structural view based on the polyatomic ion groups of (PO4)3- is proposed.
