摘要
Although stoichiometric CrTe is difficult to synthesize because of the appearance of Cr vacancies, ferromagnetic Cr1-x Te compounds have attracted increasing attention. This work investigates single crystalline (Cr-0.9 B-0.1)Te with the Cr vacancies filled by B to stabilize the hexagonal crystal structure and shift the Fermi energy. The structural and magnetic properties have been characterized by experimental measurements and ab initio calculations. A collinear spin structure with an easy axis along c is observed at high temperature, whereas the magnetic moments localized at the Cr atoms gradually tilt away from the c-axis below 140K. A maximum tilt angle of 30 degrees is observed at a temperature of 2K. (C) 2020 Author(s).
