Project CSSDT 16.80012.02.03F CdCr2S4 Cr2S4 semiconductor magnetic materials and technologies for applications in spintronic

Type : Project for young scientists, SCSTD code 16.80012.02.03F
Head : Roman Marianna, Ph.D
Duration : 2016 – 2017
Division(s) : Laboratory of Physics of Semiconductor Compounds “Sergiu Radautsan”

The project was focused on growth of single crystals of the magnetic semiconductor compounds with spinel structure MnCr2S4 and CoCr2S4. The research aimed  at  determination of correlations between the magnetic ordering and structural and electronic properties as well as at characterization of their magnetic ground state. The study was directed towards elucidating of the origin of  multiferroic behavior, of the mechanism of spin ordering in materials with different degree of frustration caused by disorder and peculiarities of their crystal structure.
