The validation experiments were conducted to confirm the thermodynamics points. The results indicate that under the atmospheric pressure, the reduction approach from NbCl5（g） to Nb（s） is a stage-wise process with the formation of complex sub-chlorides, and is controllable at low hydrogen ratio （mole ratio of n（NbCl5）：n（H2）＆lt;1：180） and low temperature （＆lt;1050 ＆#176;C）. Furthermore, a reasonable amount of inert loading gas is favorable to increase the reduction ratio of NbCl5 and the powder yield. The as-synthesized Nb nanopowder with the homogeneous size of 30-50 nm and the powder yield of 85% （mass fraction） is obtained by the CVS process under n（NbCl5）：n（H2）：n（Ar）=1：120：1 and 950 ＆#176;C with the NbCl5 reduction rate of 96.1%.展开更多

Results indicate that ferromagnetism （FM） of Co doped CeO2 decrease with additional Al^3＋. Accordingly, certain amount of Y^3＋ can readily be incorporated into the lattice of CeO2 with the decrease of its grain size as well as some pores formation, leading to an enhancement of FM with a positive correlation between magnetization and Y^3＋ doping content. This experimental result is helpful both in understanding FM origination in diluted magnetic oxide （DMO） as well as to improve the moments of DMO applicable in spintronic devices.展开更多
