It crystallizes in Fe2P-type structure with the lattice parameters a = b = 5.9823(0) and c = 3.4551(1) and undergoes a first-order phase transition at the Curie temperature of 255 K. The Fe K edge and Mn K edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectra show that Mn atoms mainly reside at 3g sites, while 3f sites are occupied by Fe atoms. The distances between the absorbing Fe atom and the first and second nearest neighbor Fe atoms in a 3f-layer shift from 2.65 and 4.01 in the ferromagnetic state to 2.61 and 3.96 in the paramagnetic phase. On the other hand, the distance between the 3g-layer and 3f-layer changes a little as 2.66 –2.73 below the Curie temperature and2.68 –2.75 above it.展开更多

With an increase of the aluminum content, the compounds exhibit successively an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state, a ferromagnetic (FM) state, and a mictomagnetic state. Furthermore, the AFM coupling of LaFe13 -xAlx can be converted to an FM one by substituting Si for A1, Co for Fe, and magnetic rare-earth R for La, or introducing interstitial C or H atoms. However, low doping levels lead to FM clusters embedded in an AFM matrix, and the resultant compounds can undergo, under appropriate applied fields, first an AFM-FM and then an FM-AFM phase transition while heated, with significant magnetic relaxation in the vicinity of the transition temperature. The Curie temperature of LaFe13-xAlx can be shifted to room temperature by choosing appropriate contents of Co, C, or H, and a strong magnetocaloric effect can be obtained around the transition temperature. For example, for the LaFel 1.5All.5Co.2Hl.o compound, the maximal entropy change reaches 13.8 J.kg-1.K-1 for a field change of 0-5 T, occurring around room temperature. It is 42% higher than that of Gd, and therefore, this compound is a promising room-temperature magnetic refrigerant.展开更多

Experimental results show that MAF as advanced zero-valent iron are highly effective for degradation of chlorinated organic compounds. The efficiency of degradation for carbon tetrachloride and perchloroethylene is higher than 99% within a period of 2 h. The efficiency of degradation for trichloroethylene by MAF after storing for one month is equivalent to that by freshly prepared nano-size zero-valent iron particles.展开更多

The Cr and Sr/Cr combined additions are very effective to modify theβ-compound for the recycled Al-Si-Fe based alloys.展开更多

Tb2Fe15Cr2 compound has a hexagonal Th2Ni17-type structure. Negative thermal expansion was found in Tb2Fe15Cr2 compound from 372 to 452 K by X-ray dilatometry. The coefficient of the average thermal expansion is α^- =-3.14×10^-5 K^-1. The magnetostrictive deformations from 292 to 450 K were calculated. The result showed that the spontaneous volume magnetostrictive deformation ms remains nearly constant with increasing temperature up to 360 K, but decreases with the further increase of temperature. The spontaneous linear magnetostrictive deformation λc along the c axis decreases with increasing temperature. The spontaneous linear magnetostrictive deformation, λa, in the basal-plane increases with increasing temperature up to 360 K, but decreases with further increasing temperature.展开更多

The Sm_2(Fe0.94Ti0.06)17 alloy has a single phase of Sm_3(Fe, Ti)29 with the Nd_3(Fe, Ti)29-type structure. The corresponding hydride phase with the same phase structure of the parent alloy was formed after a hydrogen decrepitation (HD) process at 300℃. The hydrogenation at 800℃ mainly shows a HDDR process. The HD and nitrogenation at 500℃ result in increasing the Curie temperature of the alloy by 72℃ and by 158℃ due to lattice expansions, respectively. The anisotropic and isotropic Sm_3(Fe. Ti)29N_y magnets are obtained after HD, HDDR and the consequent nitrogenation, respectively. The optimum magnetic properties of Sm_3(Fe, Ti)29N_y powders achieved in the above two processes are: (i) B_r=0;82 T, _iH_c=4.48 kA/cm. (BH)_max=54.3 kJ/m^3, (ii) B_r=0.68 T, _iH_c=8.14 kA/cm, (BH)max=66.4 kJ/m^3.展开更多
