几何结构对Fe薄膜反常能斯特效应的影响

反常能斯特效应(Anomalous Nernst effect,ANE)是一种利用磁性材料进行热电转换的效应。利用磁控溅射方法在Si基底上沉积生长Fe薄膜,探究了薄膜的厚度及几何尺寸对反常能斯特效应的影响。结果表明:Fe薄膜的厚度越小,ANE越明显,当薄膜厚度增加到50 nm以上时,ANE趋于不变,这与Fe薄膜电阻率随厚度的变化规律一致;在温差一定时,反常能斯特电压和Fe薄膜的宽长比成正比,即薄膜越宽电压信号越强,但在单位宽度下薄膜产生的反常能斯特电压维持不变,说明薄膜的几何尺寸对ANE有较大的影响。研究结果对反常能斯特效应相关器件设计具有指导意义。

Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects in NaZn_(13)-type La(Fe,Al)(13)-based compounds

In this article, our recent progress concerning the effects of atomic substitution, magnetic field, and temperature on the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of the LaFe13-xAlx compounds are reviewed. 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.

Nitriding of Hard Fe Electrodepositionand Its Effects on Wear Resistance

Nitriding is employed for the hard Fe electrodeposition to produce a hard-facing and antiwear coating. It only takes 1 h for the hard Fe coating, which is much shorter than nitriding the Fe and steel. The results showed that the nitriding can increase the microhardness, wear resistance of the coating, as well as the bonding strength of the coating with the substrate. Additionally it can eliminate the brittleness, turn the internal stress of the coating from tension to compression. The wear resistance of the nitrided Fe coating is 4.6 times as high as that of Cr coating. It is simple and economic to combine hard Fe electroplating and nitriding, which is a good technology of the tribological surface modification.

Synergetic Effects of UV/Fe^(3+) Combined with Electrocatalysis for p-Nitrophenol Degradation

Synergetic effects for p-nitrophenol degradation were observed in the combination of two-advanced oxidation processes, UV/Fe3+ and electrocatalysis. The enhancement of removal rate for p-nitrophenol and COD was around 123% and 278%, respectively. The possible contributions for the synergetic effects were the electrochemically regeneration of ferric ion and the role of the oxygen that formed on the anode.

Effects of cathode materials on discharge characteristics of Li B alloy/FeS_2 thermal battery

The effects of FeS 2 on the discharge characteristics of Li B alloy/FeS 2 thermal battery had been studied. Results showed that 2.5%(mass fraction)Li 2O would be needed to rule out the voltage pulse in the first part of discharge curves for the FeS 2 powder of small particle size (<44 μm). After thermal decomposition, the FeS 2 had transformed to Fe (1- x ) S where x =0.024～0.066. The deficiency of the cathode FeS 2 would make discharge voltage decrease 0.4 V. In the discharge test at high temperature (600 ℃), the discharge voltage decreased fast with the acceleration of the thermal decomposition of FeS 2.

The effect of deposition temperature on the intermixing and microstructure of Fe/Ni thin film

The physical vapour deposition of Ni atoms on α-Fe（001） surface under different deposition temperatures were simulated by molecular dynamics to study the intermixing and microstructure of the interracial region. The results indicate that Ni atoms hardly penetrate into Fe substrate while Fe atoms easily diffuse into Ni deposition layers. The thickness of the intermixing region is temperature-dependent, with high temperatures yielding larger thicknesses. The deposited layers are mainly composed of amorphous phase due to the abnormal deposition behaviour of Ni and Fe. In the deposited Ni-rich phase, the relatively stable metallic compound B2 structured FeNi is found under high deposition temperature conditions.

Effects of Pr substitution on the hydrogenating process and magnetocaloric properties of La1-xPrxFe11.4Si1.6Hy hydrides

In this paper, we study the effects of Pr substitution on the hydrogenating process and magnetocaloric properties of La（1-x）PrxFe11.4Si1.6Hy hydrides. The powder x-ray diffraction patterns of the La1-xPrxFe11.4Si1.6 and its hydrides show that each of the alloys is crystallized into the single phase of cubic Na Zn13-type structure. There are hydrogen-absorbing plateaus under 0.4938 MPa and 0.4882 MPa in the absorbing curves for the La0.8Pr0.2Fe11.4Si1.6 and La0.6Pr0.4Fe11.4Si1.6 compounds. The releasing processes lag behind the absorbing process, which is obviously different from the coincidence between absorbing and releasing curves of the La Fe11.4Si1.6 compound. The remnant hydrogen content for La0.6Pr0.4Fe11.4Si1.6 is significantly more than that for La0.8Pr0.2Fe11.4Si1.6 after hydrogen desorption, indicating that more substitutions of Pr for La are beneficial to retaining more hydrogen atoms in the alloys. The values of maximum magnetic entropy change are 14.91 J/kg·K and 17.995 J/kg·K for La0.8Pr0.2Fe11.4Si1.6H0.13 and La0.6Pr0.4Fe11.4Si1.6H0.87,respectively.

Effects of the Composition of Electrodeposited Fe-Ni-P Alloy on the Thermostability and Magnetic Properties

The magnetic properties, structure defects of electrodeposited Fe-Ni-P alloys with various compositions and the thermostability at amorphous state have been studied by DSC, positron annihilation and electronic integrating instrument methods. The results show that the thermostability of amorphous Fe-Ni-P alloys increases with Fe content. Emergence and recrystallization of stable phases defer as the P content of the coating increases. The minimum H-c, B-r and P-h occur at 9.4 P (wt pet) content. Maximum H-c, B-r and P-h occur at the weight ratio of Fe to Ni equaling to 1/9.

Effects of Fe Modified Na2WO4 Additive on the Hydrogen Storage Properties of MgH2

A Fe modified Na2WO4 compound was synthesized by a solution impregnation method and was ball-milled with MgH2 to constitute a novel MgH2-Fe2O3/Na2WO4 composite. The effects of the Fe2O3/Na2WO4 additive on the hydrogen storage properties of MgH2 together with the corresponding mechanism were investigated. At 423 K, within the first 200 seconds, the hydrogen absorption amount of MgH2+20 wt% Fe2O3/Na2WO4 was almost 5 times that of pure MgH2. And at 573 K, its total hydrogen desorption amount was 7 times that for pure MgH2. Meanwhile, its onset dehydrogenation temperature was 110 K lower than that of pure MgH2. It was worth noting that the MgH2+20 wt% Fe/Na2WO4 presented the lower dehydrogenation reaction activation energy(Ea) of 35.9 kJ·mol^-1 compared to that of pure MgH2. The active MgWO4, Mg2 FeH6 and MgO formed during the milling process were responsible for the improvement of the hydrogen storage properties for MgH2.

Effect of Carbon on the Paramagnetic-Antiferromagnetic Transition and γ→εMartensitic Transformation of Fe-24Mn Alloys

The effect of C content (0.014-0.39 wt pct) on the paramagnetic-antiferromagnetic transition and γ→ε martensitic transformation of Fe-24Mn alloys has been investigated by the resistivity, dilation, tensile properties measurement and microstructure examination. The results have shown that C decreases T_N; increases the thermal expansion coefficients both above and below the T_N; increases the resistivity above the T_N and antiferromagnetic scattering resistivity below T_N. It strongly depresses the γ→ε martensitic transformation and reduces the M_s of Fe-24Mn alloys. Moreover, it increases the lattice parameter of austenite, enhances the tensile ductility, but almost does not affect the tensile strength. With increasing C content from 0.014 to 0.19 wt pct, the yield strength of Fe-24Mn alloy decreases obviously arising from the decreasing of preexisting ε martensite. but it increases from 0.19 to 0.39 wt pct C due to the solution hardening of C.

Wiedemann effect of Fe-Ga based magnetostrictive wires

（Fes3Ga17）98Cr2 wires each with a diameter of 0.7 mm are prepared by hot swaging and warm drawing from the casting rods directly, because the ductility of Fes3Ga17alloy is improved by adding Cr element. The Wiedemann twists and dependences on magnetostrictions of Fe83Ga17 and （Fe83Ga17）98Cr2 wires are investigated. The largest observed Wiedemann twists of 245 s.cm-1 and 182 s.cm-1 are detected in the annealed Fes3Ga17 and （Fe83Ga17）98Cr2 wires, respectively. The magnetostrictions of the annealed Fes3Ga17 and （Fes3Ga17）98Cr2 wires are 160 ppm and 107 ppm, respectively. The maximum of the Wiedemann twist increases with magnetostriction increasing. However the magnetostriction is just one important factor that affects the Wiedemann effect of alloy wire, and the relationship between magnetostriction and Wiedemann effect is a complex function rather than a simple function.

Mssbauer Effect in Ultrafine Particles with Fe-C Solid Solution,γ-Fe and Fe_3C Phases

Ultrafine particles prepared by evaporating pure Fe in CH4 atmosphere using arc-dischargeheating method, were found to consist of Fe-C solid solution, γ-Fe and Fe3C phases. EfFect of annealing temperature on phase transformation and hyperfine interactions has been investigated by Mossbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry (DTA-TG), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), oxygen determination and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements. It was observed that phase transformation of γ-Fe to α-Fe occurs during annealing in vacuum. The mechanism causing the change of hyperfine interactions with annealing temperature differs for Fe-C solution and interstitial compounds. DifFerence of hyperfine interactions of Fe-C solid solution in the starting sample and its annealed samples is ascribed to the improvement of activation of interstitial carbon atoms. Stress-relieving in structure of annealed Fe3C particle can result in a weak influence on hyperfine interactions. Parameters fitted to the Mossbauer spectra show the existence of superparamagnetism in all the samples. Absorbed and combined oxygen on particle surface of the starting sample were determined.

Screening Effect of the Diffusive Boundary Layer in Sediments of Lake Aha in the Suburbs of Guiyang City, Guizhou Province

The redox cycle of iron and manganese is a major geochemical process at the boundary layers of lake sediments. Lake Aha, which lies in the suburbs of Guiyang City,Guizhou Province, China, is a medium-sized artificial reservoir with seasonally anoxic hypolimnion. Long-term sedimentary accumulation of iron and manganese resulted in their enrichment in the upper sediments. In the anoxic season, Fe2+ and Mn2+, formed by biological oxidation, would diffuse up to overlying waters from sedlments. However, the concentration of Fe2+ increased later and decreased earlier than that of Mn2+. Generally, sulfate reduction occurred at 6 cm below the sediment-water interface. Whereas, in the anoxic season, the reduction reached upper sediments, inhibiting the release of Fe2+. The Fe concentration of anoxic water is quickly decreased from high to low as a result of reduction Of the sulphur system.

Anisotropic Magnetoresistance Effect in Amorphous and Nanocrystalline Fe(Cu,Nb)-Si-B Alloys

The magnetoresistance effect and magnetic properties in amorphous and nanocrystalline Fe(Cu, Nb)-Si-B ribbons have been investigated, it was observed that the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of nanocrystalline alloy is much smaller than that of amorphous alloy, Indicating that the anisotropy of nanocrystalline alloy becomes smaller after crystallizing, and the smallest AMR is coincident with the excellent soft magnetic characteristics. It is believed that the smaller magnetic crystalline anisotropy is the origin of the excellent soft magnetic characteristics of nanocrystalline alloy.

Mechanism on the Effect of Al upon the γ→ε Martensite Transformation in the Fe-Mn Alloys

The structure of the solid solution treated and deformed Fe-25Mn-(0-3.11)Al-0.15C alloys was examined by means of metallograph and X-ray diffraction, which has confirmed that Al restrains the γ→ε transformation in the Fe-Mn alloys. The mechanism on the restraining effect of Al has been discussed on the basis of the efFect of Al upon the stacking fault energy in the Fe-Mn alloys.Aluminium increases thermodynamically the stability of the Fe-Mn austenite and the driving force limit necessitated to be overcome for the γ→ε transformation, because the thermodynamicalcalculation indicates that Al increases the stacking fault energy in the Fe-Mn alloys at 300 K.Al will decrease the number and the size for the ε-martensite nucleus according to the stacking fault mechanism of the ε-martensite nucleation

Effect of Respective Additions of Ga, Zr and Combined Additions of Co, Ga, Zr on Magnetic Properties of Remanence-enhanced Nd_(8.4) Fe_(87.1) B_(4.5) Alloy

The effect of a partial substitution of Zr, Ga; Co and Ga; Co. Ga and Zr; respectively, for Fe on the structure and magnetic properties of Nd_8.4Fe_87.1B_4.5 alloy prepared by mechanical alloying has been studied in detail. It has been shown that, intrinsic coercivity μ0 H_c and maximum magnetic energy product (BH)_max increase for only Zr or Ga-containing samples, which is mainly due to the refinement of soft grains. The combined addition of Co and Ga is less effective for improving μoH_c and (BH)_max than the respective addition of Co or Ga. which may be due to the formation of CsCl-type CoGa. μoH_c and (BH)_max for combined Co, Ga. Zr-added alloy are higher than those for the combined Co, Ga-added alloy but lower than those for only Zr-containing alloy.

Effects of Doping on the Magnetic Properties and Frustration of Hexagonal YMn0.9A0.1O3（A=Al,Fe,and Cu）

The doping effects on the frustration and the magnetic properties in hexagonal compounds ot YMn0.9A0.1O3 （A=A1, Fe and Cu） are investigated. Experimental results indicate that both the non-magnetic and magnetic ion dopants lead to the increase of magnetic moments and the decrease of the absolute value of Curie-Weiss temperature （｜θcw｜）- Compared with pure YMnOa, the geometrical frustration of YMn0.9 A0. 1O3 is greatly suppressed and the magnetic coupling in that exhibits dopant-dependent. In addition, for the doped YMno.gAo.103, the antiferromagnetic transition temperature （TN） is also suppressed slightly, which shows an abnormal dilution effect and it may be ascribed to the reduction of frustration due to the chemical substitution.

Investigation of matrix effects in the MC-ICP-MS induced by Nb, W, and Cu: Isotopic case studies of iron and copper

Some elements normally occur at trace levels while the majority of natural geological materials may be exceedingly enriched in some special cases, such as the Bayan Obo ore deposit where REE and Nb are extremely enriched. These elements may not be removed completely during purification. Therefore, matrix effects will be caused during stable isotope ratio measurement in the MC-ICP-MS. Experiments have shown that the established methods of chromatographic separation of Cu, Fe, and Zn using AG MP-1 Anion Exchange Resin cannot make ef-fective separation of Nb, W, and Cu from Fe using 20 mL 6 M HCl. It is also observed that the elution curves of W and Cu overlap at working conditions and thus W is present in measurable amounts in some sample solutions. Matrix effects in the MC-ICP-MS induced by Nb, W, and Cu during Fe isotope ratio measurements and by W during Cu isotope ratio measurements were thus investigated by examining their changes in delta values between doped and undoped standards. The results show that the effects of the matrix elements Nb, W, or Cu on Fe isotope ratio measurements are minimal in the case of m(Nb)/m(Fe)<0.005, m(W)/m(Fe)<0.01, or m(Cu)/m(Fe)<0.6. This finding, combined with the extremely low levels of W and Cu, and the fact that nearly 90% of Nb can be removed during purification, demonstrates that the methods of chromatographic separation of Fe established before are suitable for Bayan Obo ore samples and that the methods can be simplified when Cu elution is unnecessary. The effects of the matrix element W on Cu isotope determinations are minimal in the case of m(W)/m(Cu)<0.7. Therefore, W exerts no significant effect on the measurements of Cu isotopes for the majority of natural geological materials.

Giant Magneto-Impedance Effect in Fe_(96-x)B_4 (x=7 or 10) Nanocrystalline Ribbons

The total ribbon voltage of as-quenched and annealed Fe96-xZr_xB_4 (x=7 or 10) ribbons has been measured as a function of applied dc field and drive current frequency. The experimental results show that both samples exist the optimum annealing temperature and optimum frequency at which the relative change in ribbon voltage is strongest, and the sensitivity of the magnetic response of the annealed Fe_89Zr_7B_4 ribbon is two order of magnitude larger than that of the annealed Fe_86Zr_10 B4 ribbon. The effect of magnetic properties and structural characteristics on giant magneto-impedance was discussed.
