Measurement of Magnetization Curve and Magnetic Relaxation for 2H-NbSe2 Crystals

The characteristics of electronic transport properties: behaviors of magnetization curve and magnetic relaxation of a typical normal superconductor 2H-NbSe2 are investigated. The results show that Tc and △Tc of the samples are 7. 2,0. 18 K, indicating that superconducting energy gap at zero temperature is 1. 1 meV. No fish tail shape is found in the magnetization curves at several temperatures. The relationship between remnant magnetic moment and time reveals that the magnetic flux creep of the sample agrees with the Kim-Anderson thermal activation model with the relaxation rate S=0.000 36 at T=6 K.     

Magnetic properties and giant magnetoresistance effect of nanometer Fe−In2O3 granular films

Nanometer ferromagnetic metal-semiconductor matrix Fe−In₂O₃ granular films are fabricated by the radio frequency sputtering. Magnetic properties and the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect of Fe_x(In₂O₃)_1−x granular film samples are studied. The result shows that the magnetoresistance (MR) ratio Δρ/ρ ₀ value of the granular film samples with Fe volume fraction x=35% is 4.5% at room temperature. The temperature dependence (T=1.5–300 K) of the MR ratio Δρ/ρ ₀ value of Fe_0.35(In₂O₃)_0.65 granular films shows that Δρ/ρ ₀ value below 10 K increases rapidly with the decrease of the temperature, and when T=2 K, Δρ/ρ ₀ value is 85%. Through the study of the dependence of low field susceptibility on temperature and the hysteresis loops at different temperatures, it has been found that, when the temperature decreases to a critical point T _p=10 K, the change of the structure in Fe_0.35)In₂O₃)_0.65 granular films results in the transformation of state from ferromagnetic to spin-glass-like. The remarkable increase of the MR ratio Δρ/ρ ₀ value of Fe_0.35(In₂O₃)_0.65 granular films below 10 K seems to arise from the peculiar conducting mechanism of the granular film samples in the spin-glass-like state.

The bulk metallic glassy (BMG) rods of [(Fe_0.5Co_0.5)_0.72B_0.192Si_0.048Nb_0.04]_100-xY_x (x=0-6) and [(Fe_xCo_1-x)_0.72B_0.192Si_0.048Nb_0.04]₉₆Y₄ (x=0.5-0.8) were prepared by copper mold casting. The structure, thermal stability, and magnetic properties of the samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Adding 1at% to 6at% of yttrium, the bulk glassy alloy rods of [(Fe_0.5Co_0.5)_0.72B_0.192Si_0.048Nb_0.04]_100-xY_x(x=0-6) with the diameter of 3 mm were not formed, and the sample with 4at% of yttrium showed less crystalline phase than others. When the Fe/Co atomic ratio was between 5:5 and 7:3, the bulk glassy alloy rods of [(Fe_1-xCo_x)_0.72B_0.192Si_0.048Nb_0.04]₉₆Y₄ (x=0.5-0.8) with the diameter of 2 mm were fabricated. In the (Fe, Co)-B-Si-Nb-Y BMGs, when the Fe content increased, the thermal stability, the supercooled liquid region, and the glass-forming ability (GFA) decreased, but the saturation magnetization (M_s) increased.     

Magnetic properties of Fe3(1−x)Cr3xC alloys

The magnetic properties of Fe_3(1−x)Cr_3xC alloys with x=0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2, which crystallize in the cementite Fe₃C-type structure with space group Pnma, were investigated by means of magnetization measurements. These alloys show temperature-induced second-order magnetic phase transitions. The Curie temperature (T_c) of these alloys decreases with increasing x. The isothermal magnetic-entropy changes of these alloys were derived from the magnetic isotherms measured with increasing temperature and increasing field. The maximum values of the magnetic-entropy change are about 0.9 and 3.6 J·kg⁻¹·K⁻¹ at T_c =360 K for x = 0.05 in a magnetic field change from 0 to 1 T and 0 to 5 T, respectively.     

Formation and corrosion properties of Fe-based bulk metallic glasses

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) formation was explored in the Fe-B-Si-Nb alloy system though combined use of the atomic cluster line approach and the minor alloying strategy. The basic ternary compositions in the Fe-B-Si system were determined by the intersection points of two cluster lines, namely, Fe-B cluster to Si and Fe-Si cluster to B. 3at%–4at% Nb was added to the quaternary Fe-B-Si-Nb alloy. The casting experiments revealed that good glass-forming ability (GFA) occurred at the (Fe_73.4Si_8.2B_18.4)₉₆Nb₄ composition, and 3-mm diameter BMG samples were made. The glass transition temperature (T_g), crystallization temperature (T_x), and supercooled liquid region (ΔT_x=T_x-T_g) of this BMG were measured to be 866, 889, and 23 K, respectively. The BMG shows a high Vickers hardness of about Hv 1164, a Young’s modulus of 180 GPa, and a good corrosion resistance in the solutions of 1 mol/L HCl and 3wt% NaCl.     

Determination of crystal structure of omphacite

The chemical formula of omphacite was expressed with (MⅡ MⅠ ) (Si, AI)2O6. Cations that occupied the MⅡ site were large cations such as Ca or Na, and (Na/(Na+Ca)) ratio ranged from 0.2 to 0.8; the 6-coordinated MⅠ site accommodated cations such as Mg, Fe2+, Al, Fe3+ ,and(AI/(AI+Fe3+)) ratio was more than 0.5. Omphacite space groups reported were C2/ c, P2, P2/n, P2/c, cell parameters are α0 = 0.9600-0.9630 nm,b0 = 0.8750-0.8830 nm,c0 = 0.5230-0.5290 nm,β = 106°40′-107°10'. The sample was picked up from the eclogites in Zhucheng County, Shangdong Province. The intensity data were collected with the RIGAKU RASA Ⅱ -S four-circle single crystal diffractometer.The correct structure model was obtained by using the Patterson method and Fourier synthesis, SHELX-76 program, structure refinement with 905 independent diffraction points (| F0 |> 3σ |F0 |). After the structure parameter refinement, the R-factor reduced to 0.0515. The crystal structure analysis indicates that omphacite has a new space group-Pn space group.

Standard molar enthalpy of formation of morin studied by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry

Flavonols are plant pigments that are ubiquitous in nature. Morin and other related plant flavonols have come into recent prominence because of their usefulness as anticancer, anti-tumor, anti-AIDS, and other important therapeutic activities of significant potency and low systemic toxicity. The heat of combustion of morin (molecular formula, C₁₅H₁₀O₇·H₂O) in oxygen was measured by a rotating-bomb type combustion calorimeter, the standard molar enthalpy of combustion of morin at T = 298.15 K was determined to be Δ_c H _m^⦵ (C₁₅H₁₀O₇·H₂O, s) = −(5 937.99 ± 2.99) kJ · mol⁻¹. The derived standard molar enthalpy of the formation of morin in solid powder state at T = 298.15 K, Δ_f H _m^⦵ (C₁₅H₁₀O₇·H₂O, s), was −(1 682.12 ± 3.58) kJ · mol⁻¹, which provide an accurate data of the stability of morin to the pharmacy and pharmacology.

Preparation and characterization of Ni-P hollow material based on the shape of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Nocadia</Emphasis>

A new type Ni-P hollow material with rod-shape is prepared by electroless deposition method and heat treatment based on the shape of Nocadia, a kind of bacteria. The material is characterized and its magnetic, electromagnetic and mechanical properties are measured. It is found that the Ni-P coating transforms from a disordered structure before hollowing to an ordered arrangement of face centered cubic （FCC） Ni after hollowing at 673 K and body centered tetragonal Ni3P occurs. After hollowing no change of the surface morphology has been found. But the cytoplasm disappears and the Ni-P layer becomes more compact. A new type hollow material with shell thickness of 150-200 nm is obtained. The saturation magnetization （Ms）, remanent magnetization （Mr） and coercivity （Hc） are enhanced to 20 emu/g, 2.7 emu/g and 117.5Oe, respectively. The dielectric and magnetic loss are improved to 14 and 0.4, respectively. The hardness and the elastic modulus are raised to 1.80 GPa and 23.79 GPa, respectively. All show great improvement compared with those before hollowing.     

Kinetic studies of the decomposition reaction of adducts of dinuclear Fe(Ⅱ)/O2

Kinetic studies of the decomposition reaction of dinuclear Fe(Ⅱ) adducts [Fe₂(N-Et-HPTB){O₂P(OPh)₂}](Cl- O₄)₂ (1) and [Fe₂(N-Et-HPTB) {O₂P(Ph)₂}] (ClO₄)₂ (2) with O₂ have been carried out at low temperature using UV-vis spectra. The decomposition reaction of Fe(Ⅱ)/O₂ adducts was first-order in the experimental conditions, and the activation parameters were obtained. ?H^¹ = 85.62 kJ·mol^-1, ?S¹ = 19.43 J·mol^-1·K^-1 for compound (1) and ?H^¹ = 97.97 kJ·mol^-1, ?S^¹ = 55.68 J·mol^-1·K^-1 for compound (2). These results are similar to those of dioxygen adducts of other metals complexes and natural enzymes such as methane mono- oxygenase (MMOH).     

The improvement of surface quality and thickness stability of Fe_(78)Si_9B_(13) melt-spun ribbons by melt overheating

The influence of melt overheating on the viscosity of the melt and surface quality of the Fe_(78)Si_9B_(13) melt-spun ribbons have been studied by using oscillating vessel viscometry, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. A critical temperature Tc(about 1350℃) of the melt transformation was determined via viscosity measurements during overheating and subsequent cooling processes. The Fe_(78)Si_9B_(13) amorphous ribbons were produced through planar flow melt spinning in the temperature range of 1300–1550℃. A detailed analysis of overheating effects on the melt viscosity and surface features of the as-spun ribbons were performed to rationalize the correlation between the melt state and surface quality of the ribbons. It was found that the enhanced homogeneity of the melt can be achieved by the overheating treatment higher than the critical temperature, which in turn improves the surface quality and thickness stability of the Fe_(78)Si_9B_(13) melt-spun ribbons.     

Pressure-induced crystallite breaking in La0.7Sr0.3Mn0.9Fe0.1O3 nanosolids

In the compacting process of the La_0.7Sr_0.3Mn_0.9Fe_0.1O₃ nanosolids under the pressure range of 0.0–4.5 GPa, the apparent pressure-induced crystallite breaking phenomenon in these nanosolids was observed. With increasing pressure up to 4.5 GPa, the average grain size decreases by 46 % while the magnetization of nanosolids decrease by 40 % and their coercive increases by 35%. This kind of breaking has a close relation to the existence of oxygen deficiency in La_0.7Sr_0.3Mn_0.9Fe_0.1O₃ nanoparticles. A simple and convenient method for preparing the bulk nanosolids with a large number of clean interfaces has been suggested.     

Preparation of Al-Cu-Fe-(Sn,Si) quasicrystalline bulks by laser multilayer cladding

(Al₆₅Cul₂₀Fe₁₅)_100-x Sn_x (x=0, 12, 20, 30) and Al₅₇Si₁₀Cu₁₈Fe₁₅ powders were cladded on a medium carbon steel (45# steel) substrate by laser multilayer cladding, respectively. The phases and properties of the produced quasicrystalline bulks were investigated. It was found that the main phases in the Al₆₅Cul₂₀Fe₁₅ sample were crystalline λ-Al₁₃Fe₄ and icosahedral quasicrystal together with a small volume fraction of θ-Al₂Cu phase. The volume fraction of icosahedral phase decreased as the Sn content in the (Al₆₅Cul₂₀Fe₁₅)_100-x Sn_x samples increased owing to the formation of β-CuSn phase. The increase of Sn content improved the brittleness of the quasicrystal samples. The morphology of the solidification microstructure in the Al₅₇Si₁₀Cu₁₈Fe₁₅ sample changed from elongated shape to spherical shape due to the addition of Si. The nanohardness of the laser multilayer cladded quasicrystal samples was equal to that of the as-cast sample prepared by vacuum quenching. In terms of hardness, the laser cladded Al₅₇Si₁₀Cu₁₈Fe₁₅ quasicrystalline alloy has the highest value among all the investigated samples.
