Structural and Magnetic Properties of Sm_3(Fe,Ti)_(29) and Sm_3(Fe,Ti)_(29)X_y (X=H, N) Compounds

The alloy with nominal composition Sm_2(Fe0.94Ti0.06)17 is prepared by arc-melting, hydrogenation and nitrogenation processes. 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.

STRUCTURAL AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF RTiFe_(11),RTiCo_(11) AND RTi(Fe_(1-x)Ni_x)_(11) COMPOUNDS(R=Nd,Sm,Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho,Er AND Y)

The crystallographic structure and intrinsic magnetic properties have been investigated in the RTiFe_(11), RTiCo_(11) and RTi(Fe_(1-X)Ni_X)_(11) compounds,where R represents Nd,Sm,Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho,Er and Y.Neutron diffraction and Mossbauer spectra analyses have been used to study the nuclear and magnetic structure of these compounds.the Fe,Co,Ni and Ti atoms are found to exhibit strong site preference with f and j sites fa- voring Fe,Co and Ni atoms and the i site Ti atoms.Two different types of magnetic behavior were observed in the RTiFe_(11) and RTiCo_(11) compounds.In the former,the interatomic distance and the number of nearest neighbor atoms play essential roles.In particular,anomalous thermal expansion behavior is presented in RTiFe_(11).In the latter,the magnetic properties are essentially determined by the modification of the cobalt electronic configuration brought about by the transfer of rare earth conduction electrons to the transition 3d band.The saturation magnetization,Curie temperature and magnetocrystalline anisotropy data of RTiFe_(11), RTiCo_(11)and YTi(Fe_(1-X)Ni_X)_(11)are presented.A tempt to improve the intrinsic magnetic properties in RTiFe_(11)has been made,and the results are reported.On the basis of the crystalline field theory by using a single-ion model,the anisotropy constants and their temperature dependence of the R ions have been calcu- lated,which helps explain the spin reorientation observed in RTiFe_(11).

Orbital Dilution Effect on Structural and Magnetic Properties of Fe1-xMnxV2O4

Structural and magnetic properties are investigated for Fe1-xMnxV2O4 （0≤ x ≤ 1） spinels. As orbital-active Fe^2＋ is substituted with Mn^2＋, the cubie-to-tetragonM transition TsI and the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition Ts2 gradually decrease. These structural transitions originate from the Fe^2＋ ferro-orbital order （F-OO）. Below Yafet-Kittel （YK） magnetic transition TN2, V^3＋ orbital order （V-OO） plays an important role on global structure. Here x = 0.6 is a critical point. Fe^2＋ F-OO and V^3＋ F-OO coexist for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5. For x≥ 0.6, the orbital pattern of V^3＋ is antiferro （AF）-00, and Fe^2＋ F-OO disappears. Structural transition Ts3, accompanied by YK magnetic transition TN2, decreases initially, and then increases at x = 0.6. A scenario for the complex phase diagram arising from the cooperation or competition of Fe^2＋ and V^3＋ orbitals is proposed.

Structural and Magnetic Properties of Co2MnSi Thin Film with a Low Damping Constant

Co2MnSi thin films are made by magnetron sputtering onto MgO （001） substrates. The crystalline quality is improved by increasing depositing temperature and/or annealing temperature. The sample deposited at 550℃ and subsequently annealed at 550℃ （sample I） exhibits a pseudo-epitaxial growth with partially ordered L21 phase. Sample I shows a four-fold magnetic anisotropy, in addition to a relatively weak uniaxial anisotropy. The Gilbert damping factor of sample I is smaller than 0.001, much smaller than reported ones. The possible reasons responsible for the small Gilbert damping factor are discussed, including weak spin-orbit coupling, small density of states at Fermi level, and so on.

Structure and Magnetic Properties of Fe_(76.5)Si_(13.5)B_9Cu_1 Alloy with Nanoscale Grain Size

The structure and magnetic properties of Fe76.5Si13.5B9Cu1 alloys with a nanocrystalline (NC) bcc Fe(Si) phase trom about 23 to 46 nm in diameter, which were first formed into amorphous ribbons and then annealed at various temperatures between 703 and 773 K, have been investigated. At annealing temperatures from 703 to 748 K, the single NC bcc(Si) phase is obtained in the crystallized alloys. The grain size and the Si-content in the NC bcc Fe(Si) phase for the alloys annealed at different temperatures are presented. The soft magnetic properties and the saturation magnetostriction for the alloys with the NC bcc Fe(Si) phase are also measured. The results show that, the saturation magnetizotion and the permeability are improved for the alloys with only the NC bcc Fe(Si) phase and become better with decreasing of the NC bcc phase size, and the saturation magnetostriction declines for the alloys with increasing Si-content in the NC bcc Fe(Si) phase.

A new europium（III） complex Eu（L）3（Phen）2（1） with 2-benzoylbenzoic acid（HL） and 1,10-phenanthroline（Phen） as ligands has been synthesized. Crystal data for the complex are as follows： monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 2.2577（4）, b = 1.23484（19）, c = 1.8789（3） nm, β = 94.918（3）o, V = 5.2189（14） nm^3, Dc = 1.512 g/cm^3, Z = 4, μ（Mo Kα） = 1.269 mm^-1, F（000） = 2408, the final R = 0.0433 and w R = 0.1038. The Eu（III） ion is coordinated by nine atoms to give a single-capped square antiprism coordination geometry. 1 shows two intense fluorescence emission bands arising from the transitions of Eu^3＋： ^5D0→^7F1（597 nm） and ^5D0→^7F2（615 nm） with an excitation wavelength of 396 nm.

Structure and Magnetic Properties of Nd-Fe-B/α-Fe Nanocomposite Magnets by Co, Nb, Dy Substitutions

Structure and magnetic properties of the nanocomposite magnets prepared by mechanical al loying procedure with composition 55 wt pct Nd (Fe0.92B0.08)5.5+45 wt pct α-Fe,55 wt pct Nd(Fe0.8-.Co0.12Nbx B0.08)5.5+45 wt pct α-Fe (x=0.00, 0.01- 0.03) and 55 wt pct (Nd0.9Dy0.1) (Fe0.77Co0.12Nb0.03B0.08)5.5+45 wt pct α-Fe were studied. It was found that substitution of Co for Fe could significantly improve the permanent magnetic properties of the nanocomposite magnets and typically, the maximum magnetic energy product was increased from 104.8 kJ/m3 (13.1 MGOe) to 141.6 kJ/m3 (17.7 MGOe). In contrast to the case of conventional nominally single-phase magnets, the addition of Nb results in promoting the growth of α-Fe grain and is thus unfavorable for the improvement of permanent magnetic properties of the nanocomposites. Although the addition of Dy can increase the coercivity of the magnets, the increase of magnetic anisotropy of hard phase leads to decrease of the critical grain size of soft phase. Additionally it causes the difficulty of preparing the nanocomposites because it is more difficult to control the grain size of soft phase to meet the requirement of appropriate exchange coupling between hard and soft grains

Structures and Magnetic Properties of Europium-Transition Metal-Gallium Ternary Intermetallic Compounds with 1:3 Type

The crystal structures and magnetic properties of novel Eu TrGa3-r （T=Pd, It, Rh） in termetallic compounds are investigated by using powder x-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. EuTrGa3-r crystallizes in orthorhombic structure with space group of Cmcm and Z = 4. There are four kinds of nonequivalent 4c crystal positions in EuTrGaa-r unit cell, which are occupied by 4Eu, 4GaⅠ, 4（GaⅡ, T） and 4GaⅢ, respectively. EuTrGa3-r ex- hibits the complex magnetic states in low-temperature regime, with the three-, two- and one-antiferromagnetic transitions occurring for T=Ir, T=Rh and T=Pd, respectively. It might be due to the Kondo effect： a localized antiferromagnetic interaction of the isolated impurity spins with the surrounding conduction electrons at low-temperature regime.

Structure and Magnetic Properties of the γ’-Fe4N Films on Cu Underlayers

The γ＇-Fe4N films on Cu underlayers are deposited on the glass and Si substrates by dc magnetron reactive sputtering. The effects of Cu underlayer on the structure, morphology and magnetic properties of the γ＇-Fe4N films are studied. The single-phase γ＇-Fe4N films with Cu underlayers on the glass substrate are obtained, while the mixture of Fe and γ＇-Fe4N is observed on the Si substrate. In comparison with the films without Cu underlayers, the grains of the films with Cu underlayers exhibit a non-uniform size distribution and give rise to a rougher surface. The magnetic measurements indicate that the γ＇-Fe4N films show a good soft ferromagnetic behavior. The enhanced coercivity in the films with Cu underlayers is observed due to the deterioration of the crystallographic structure as well as the rougher surface.

Structure and Magnetic Properties of Fe-N Films Prepared by Dual Ion Beam Sputtering

Fe-N films were prepared on Si substrate by dual ion beam sputtering (DIBS). It is found that the crystal structure of the films varies from α-Fe, to ε-Fe2-3N, ε-Fe2-3N +γ-Fe4N, and finally γ'-Fe4N with the increase in substrate temperature (TS). The magnetic properties of the films were investigated by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The structure of the films is insensitive to the ratios of N2/Ar in main ion source(MIS), and is mainly influenced by the substrate temperature (Ts).
