Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects of Mn5Ge3-xGax

We report on the magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects of Mn5Ge3-xGax compounds with x=0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.6 and 0.9. All samples crystallize in the hexagonal Mn5Si3-type structure with space group P63/mcm and order ferromagnetically.The Curie temperature of these compounds decreases with increasing x, from 306K (x=0.1) to 274K (x=0.9).The average Mn magnetic moments increases with increasing Ga content,reaching a maximum value at x=0.6.The magnetic entropy changes in these compounds are determined from the temperature and field dependence of the magnetization using the thermodynamic Maxwell relation.The Ga substitution has two kinds of influence on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of Mn5Ge3.One is that the magnitude of the magnetic entropy change decreases,the other is that the MCE peak becomes broadened.     

Atomistic simulation of site preference, Curie temperature, and lattice vibration of Nd2Co7 - xFex

The effects of Fe substitution for Co on the structural stability and the site preference of intermetallics Nd 2 Co 7-x Fe x with a hexagonal Ce 2 Ni 7-type structure are studied by using a series of interatomic pair potentials.In Nd 2 Co 7-x Fe x,Fe atoms are substituted for Co atoms with a strong preference for the 6h sites and the order of site preference is 6h,4e,4f,2a,and 12k.Calculated lattice parameters are found to be consistent with the reported results in the literature.The variation behaviour of the Curie temperature of Nd 2 Co 7-x Fe x is explained qualitatively by the exchange interaction model.The properties related to lattice vibration,such as phonon density of states and Debye temperature,are first evaluated for the Nd 2 Co 7-x Fe x compounds.     

Electrical transport properties of YCo_(1-x)Mn_xO_3(0 ≤x≤ 0.2)prepared by sol–gel process

Mn substitution compounds YCo1-xMnx O3(0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) are synthesized by using the sol–gel process. Electrical transport properties of YCo1-xMnx O3 are investigated in the temperature range from 200 K to 780 K. The experimental results show that after Mn substitution the electrical resistivity of YCo1-xMnx O3 first increases, then decreases, which is due to the electrons introduced by Mn doping. The sign of Seebeck coefficient for YCo1-xMnx O3(x = 0) is positive or negative, which is also proved by the Hall coefficient measurement. Moreover, at about room temperature, the Seebeck coefficient of YCo1-xMnx O3 with 1% doping Mn content becomes a negative value, whose absolute value is maximum;furthermore, the absolute value gradually decreases with increasing the Mn substitution content, which can be explained by the double carrier model.     

Substituting AI for Fe in Pr（AlxFe1-x）1.9 alloys： Effects on magnetic and magnetostrictive properties

The magnetostrictive effects of substituting A1 for Fe in Pr（AlxFe1-x）1.9 （x = 0.0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10） alloys between 5 K and 300 K were investigated. The substitution decreases the Curie temperature and the value of λ111. Fortunately, the substitution slightly increases the magnetostriction in a low magnetic field, which imbues these materials with potential advantages for applications. Rotation of the easy magnetization direction （EMD） from [ 111 ] to [ 100] in the Pr（A10.02Fe0.98）1.9 alloy as temperature decreases was detected by step scanned XRD reflections.     

MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF Pr2Co17-x Mx ( M＝Ga,Si) COMPOUNDS

The influence of Ga or Si substitution for Co on the structural and magnetic properties of Pr₂Co₁₇ compounds is investigated. All samples studied here are single phase and have the rhombohedral Th₂Zn₁₇-type structure. The unit-cell volume is found to increase linearly by the substitution of Ga for Co,but reduce by the substitution of Si for Co in Pr₂Co₁₇ compounds. In Pr₂Co_17-x M_x, the Curie temperature decreases monoto nically with increasing at an approximate rate of 153K per Ga atom and 175K per Si atom. The saturation magnetic moment of Pr₂Co_17-x M_x ( M=Ga,Si) decreases with increasing x. The rates of the decrease are larger than that expected as a simple dilution. For Pr₂Co_17-xSi_x ,the spin reorientation transition is observed above room temperature. The spin-reorientation temperature Tsrfirst decreases with increasing Si content and then increases at higher x values (x>2). The spin reorientat ion behavior is interpreted by the competition between the Pr and Co sublattice anisotropies. The easy magnetization direction in Pr₂Co_17-xGa_x compounds is perpendicular to the c-axis, and no spin reorientation transition is observed.

EFFECT OF MANGANESE SUBSTITUTION IN R2AlFe16-x Mnx(R=Y,Ho,Nd AND Pr)COMPOUNDS ON STRUCTURAL AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES

The structural and magnetic properties of R₂AlFe_16-xMn_x(0≤x≤8 for Y,Ho,0≤x≤10 for Pr, 0≤x≤16 for Nd)compounds have been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements.The R₂AlFe_16-xMn_x compounds have a hexagonal Th₂Ni₁₇-type structure for R=Y and Ho, and a rhombohedral Th₂Zn₁₇-type structure for Nd and Pr.With increasing x,the unit-cell volumes have a small increase initially,followed by a greater linear increase.The Curie temperature and the saturation magnetizati on of these compounds show marvelous drop with increasing x.Compensation point was observed in the temperature dependence of the magnetization for Ho₂AlFe₁₂Mn₄ compound.     

Substituting Al for Fe in Pr(Al_xFe_(1-x))_(1.9) alloys:Effects on magnetic and magnetostrictive properties

The magnetostrictive effects of substituting Al for Fe in Pr(AlxFe1-x)1.9(x = 0.0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10) alloys between5 K and 300 K were investigated. The substitution decreases the Curie temperature and the value of λ111. Fortunately, the substitution slightly increases the magnetostriction in a low magnetic field, which imbues these materials with potential advantages for applications. Rotation of the easy magnetization direction(EMD) from [111] to [100] in the Pr(Al0.02Fe0.98)1.9alloy as temperature decreases was detected by step scanned XRD reflections.     

Metal-Insulator Transition in CuIr2（S1-xTex）4

The resistivity and magnetization for the CuIr2（S1-xTex）4 （0≤x≤ 0.10） system are investigated. Compared with the Se doping, the substitution of Te for S leads to stronger suppression on the metal-insulator transition. Vacancies and imperfections in the sample lattice are found to modify the magnetization, which can be qualitatively understood to consist of the Pauli paramagnetism, Landau diamagnetism, Larmor diamagnetism and Curie magnetism contributions.     

Effects of Cu on the martensitic transformation and magnetic properties of Mn_(50)Ni_(40)In_(10) alloy

The structures, the martensitic transformations, and the magnetic properties are studied systematically in Mn50Ni40-xCuxIn10, Mn50-xCuxNi40In10, and Mn50Ni40In10-xCux alloys. The partial substitution of Ni by Cu reduces the martensitic transformation temperature, but has little influence on the Curie temperature of austenite. Comparatively, the martensitic transformation temperature increases and the Curie temperature of austenite decreases with the partial replacement of Mn or In by Cu. The magnetization difference between the austenite phase and the martensite phase reaches 70 emu/g in Mn50Ni39Cu1In10; a field-induced martensite-to-austenite transition is observed in this alloy.

Effects of Fe2+ substitution on magnetic and dielectric properties of CdCr2S4

The magnetic and dielectric properties of polycrystalline Cd_{1 - x}Fe_xCr₂S₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) are investigated. Upon substitution of Cd by Fe, the Curie temperature (T_C) is increased while the saturation magnetization is decreased. A low doping level of Fe increases the permittivity, while a high doping level decreases the permittivity, which is explained by the internal barrier layer capacitor model. Kinks are observed in the temperature-dependent permittivity and loss tangent near T_C for the samples with x= 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, implying the existence of the magnetodielectric effect. Furthermore, with the increase of Fe content, a decrease of anomaly deviation rate induced by internal molecular field is revealed in the permittivity, while an increase is observed for the loss tangent.

Magnetic properties of the garnets Bi0·8Ca2χT2·2-2.χFe5-χVχ]O12

The behaviour of the magnetization, Curie temperature, Mössbauer spectra, and lattice parameter is studied in the garnet series Bi_0·8Ca_2.χT_2·2-2.χFe_5-χV_χ]O₁₂. The shape of magnetization vs temperature curves shows only a minor dependence on x. The hyperfine field at the octahedral ⁵⁷Fe nuclei at 5°K decreases linearly with x (12·5kOe per substituted V neighbour), while that at the tetrahedral ⁵⁷Fe nuclei is not affected. The dependence of the Curie temperatures and hyperfine fields on x is discussed in relation to the Fe-O-V-O-Fe exchange. The influence of Bi substitution is consistent with the idea of a geometric effect.
