When the ion dose increases the irradiation initially induces grain growth and subsequently element mixing and amorphisation, which can be largely accounted for by a simple ballistic recoil mechanism model. The modification of the microstructure and the interfacial mixing of atoms between the various layers results in the continuous reduction in the exchange field and the coercivity of IrMn/CoFe bilayers.展开更多

The exchange bias decreases with increasing period of time while holding the film in a negative saturation field at a given temperature. Increasing the temperature accelerates the decrease of exchange field. The results can be explained by the quantitative model of the nucleation and growth of antiferromagnetic domains suggested by Xi H Wet al. [2007 Phys. Rev. B 75 014434], and it is believed that two energy barriers exist in the investigated temperature range.展开更多

The photosterilization of Escherichia coli was examined on CuO/CoFe2O4-TiO2 thin films under a xenon lamp irradiation. The film was characterized by XRD, and the morphology was observed by SEM. Disinfection data indicated that CuO/CoFe2O4-TiO2 composite photocatalysts have the much better photocatalytic activity than CuO/CoFe2O4 and TiO2. The optimized composition of the nanocomposites has been found to be CuO/CoFe2O4: mTio2=3:7, with loadings ranging from 790 to 1400 mg/m2. The photocatalytic inactivated rate of E. coli (105 CFU/mL) reached 98.4% under the xenon lamp of 150 W within 30 min.展开更多

The effects of heat treatment temperatures on micro- structures and on magnetic properties were studied. The microstructure and properties of the samples at different heat treatment temperatures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, polarized microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. The results show that crystals of different substances grow up independently. Cobalt ferrite is evenly embedded into the titanium dioxide matrix in the prepared composite films. The magnetism of the composite films is enhanced with an increase of the heat temperature.展开更多
