Abstract
The oxygen-deficient strontium iron oxide SrFeO3−δ (SFO) exhibits richness in the phase diagram over a broad range of temperatures and for other external parameters. Room-temperature X-ray diffraction and Raman spectrum reveals that the structure of synthesized SFO system consists of two mixed phases, i.e., major orthorhombic and minor tetragonal phases. The low-temperature Raman and vibrating sample magnetometer measurements indicated a structural transition below 253 K. The magnetic property of the synthesized SFO for various external magnetic field (up to 5 T) reveals possible variation in oxygen stoichiometry. Also, the application of external H increases Neel transition temperature (T N), suppresses the hysteresis width (W H), and thus weakens the first-order nature of the transition. Our analysis revealed the vanishing of hysteresis and the first-order antiferromagnetic transition becomes a crossover above a critical magnetic field H CR ≈ 5 T. Possible switching of magnetic ordering and oxidation state observed in same system enhances interest in related compounds which may be used in magnetic sensors and other magnetic switching devices.
