Effect of Dy doping on magnetostrictive and mechanical properties of Fe83Ga17 alloy

Fe83Ga17 alloy is a kind of promising magnetostrictive alloys with high magnetostrictive properties and a low saturation magnetic field.As-cast Fe83Ga17 Dyx(x=0,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.4)polycrystalline alloys were prepared by arc melting.Effect of Dy doping on the microstructure,magnetostrictive and mechanical properties of as-cast Fe83Ga17 alloy was investigated.Results show that Dy-doped alloys exhibit a dual-phase structure containing the A2 matrix and Dy-rich precipitates(Fe56Ga34Dy10).Both magnetostriction and mechanical properties of Fe83Ga17 alloys are improved by Dy doping.A small amount of Dy addition(x=0.2)significantly causes Fe83Ga17 alloy to transform from typical brittle material(fracture strainε<1%)to plastic material(ε≈11%).Correspondingly,the fracture mode transforms from intergranular fracture to dimple fracture.At the same time,the ultimate tensile strength and the magnetostriction rise up to 209 MPa and 64 ppm,respectively.Dy-rich precipitates disperse along the grain boundries and inside the grains,which plays an important role in the grain refinement and solution strengthening,and therefore,contribute to the enhancement of mechanical properties of the alloy.The improvement of magnetostriction could be attributed to the large lattice distortion induced by Dy atoms entering into the A2 matrix.Doping Dy into Fe-Ga alloys provides an effective solution to the brittleness in their applications.

Influence of rare-earth metal doping on the catalytic performance of CuO-CeO_2 for the preferential oxidation of CO in excess hydrogen

Doping of different rare-earth metals （Pr, Nd, Y and La） had an evident influence on the catalytic performance of CuO-CeO2 for the preferential oxidation （PROX） of CO in excess hydrogen. As for Pr, the doping enhanced the catalytic activity of CuO-CeO2 for PROX. For example, the CO conversion over the above catalyst for PROX was higher than 99% at 120 °C. Especially, the doping of Pr widened the temperature window by 20 °C over CuO-CeO2 with 99% CO conversion. For Nd, Y, and La, the doping depressed the catalytic activity of CuO-CeO2 for PROX. However, the doping of transition metals markedly improved the selectivity of CuO-CeO2 for PROX.

Synthesis, Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Fe304 Doped by Dy^3＋

The Dy^3＋ -doped Fe3O4 samples were synthesized by sol-gel method, and the effects of dopant on the electrical and magnetic properties were investigated. According to XRD analysis, the high concentration doping of dysprosium ions in Fe3O4 can not be obtained due to the difference of ionic radius, and Fe^3 ＋ ions are replaced by only a small amount of dysprosium ions. The magnetic property was characterized by VSM. The substitution results in the change of saturation magnetization, which may be due to the complex effects of increasing magnetization resulted from Dy^3＋ substitution and decreasing magnetization resulted from the impurity. The electrical property was characterized by four-probe method. With the increasing eoped content, magnetoresistance also increases, then decreases, and increases again. The spin-polarization of doped samples is lower than that of Fe3O4. Lower spin-polarization results in lower tunneling magnetoresistance. Fortunately, barrier was obtained by the second phase at the same time when sample was synthesized. The increase of appropriate barrier height leads to the change of tunneling magnetoresistance.

Microstructure and Electric Properties of Dy and Sm-Doped Bismuth Titanate Ceramics

The effect of Dy and Sm doping on microstructure and electric properties of bismuth titanate ceramics were investigated by means of XRD, SEM and AFM. The results showed that the grain growth habit was anisotropy of BIT ceramics doped with Dy, Sm at a concentration range of 0.5%～2.5%. However, c-axis decreased more obviously with increasing dopant concentration of Sm-doped sample than Dy-doped sample. As a result, the shape of grains of Sm-doped sample were granular, in contrast with Dy-doped sample with template particles. The grain size of Sm-doped sample decreased significantly, which led to a large dielectric constant and remanent polarization.

Effect of optimized aging processing on properties of the sintered Dy-doped Nd–Fe–B permanent magnet

We investigate the effect of the optimized aging processing on magnetism and mechanical property of the sintered Dydoped Nd–Fe–B permanent magnet. The experimental results show that the magnetism, especially intrinsic coercivity, of the optimized aged Dy-doped Nd–Fe–B magnet is more excellent than that of the sintered one, but the former＇s strength and hardness are lower than that of the latter. It was observed that the optimized aged Dy-doped Nd–Fe–B magnet have more uniform grain size, thinner（Nd, Dy）-rich boundary phase. By means of the EBSD technology, the number of larger angle grain boundaries in the optimized aged Dy-doped Nd–Fe–B magnet is more than that of the sintered one. The reasons for the increased intrinsic coercivity and decreased mechanical properties of the optimized aged Dy-doped Nd–Fe–B magnet are also discussed.

Optical Fiber Torsion Sensor with Mechanically Induced Long Period Fiber Gratings in Rare-Earth Doped Fibers

In this work wavelength sensitivity in mechanically induced long period fiber gratings (MLPFG) is analyzed. This analysis is first carried out both in standard single-mode fiber SMF-28 and in Er-doped fibers. The mechanical analysis for both types of fibers under different torsion conditions is presented. In order to apply the torsion one of the fiber ends is fixed while torsion is applied on the other end. A MLPFG whose period is 503 μm is used to press the fiber after torsion is applied. This allows for micro curvatures to be formed on the fiber, which in turn generates a periodical index perturbation on it. Here, it was noted that the sensitive wavelength shift of the rejection bands is bigger for Er-doped fibers. For a torsion of 6 turns applied to 10 cm of doped fiber the wavelength peaks can be moved up to 25 nm, which is longer to what was detected on standard fibers. Therefore, by using Er-doped fibers to monitor torsion on structures will give more sensitive and accurate results than using standard fibers. These results can be employed for sensing applications, especially for small to medium size structures, which can be mechanical, civil or aeronautics.

Microscale Crystalline Rare-Earth Doped Resonators for Strain-Coupled Optomechanics

Rare-earth ion doped crystals for hybrid quantum technologies are an area of growing interest in the solid-state physics community. We have earlier theoretically proposed a hybrid scheme of a mechanical resonator which is fabricated out of a rare-earth doped mono-crystalline structure. The rare-earth ion dopants have absorption energies which are sensitive to crystal strain, and it is thus possible to couple the ions to the bending motion of the crystal cantilever. This type of resonator can be useful for either investigating the laws of quantum physics with material objects or for applications such as sensitive force-sensors. Here, we present the design and fabrication method based on focused-ion-beam etching techniques which we have successfully employed in order to create such microscale resonators, as well as the design of the environment which will allow studying the quantum behavior of the resonators.
