Sn3InSb4合金嵌Li性能的第一性原理研究

采用第一性原理超软赝势平面波方法计算了Sn₃InSb₄的嵌Li性能,得到各种嵌Li相的嵌Li形成能、理论质量比容量、体积膨胀率、能带结构、态密度和差分电荷密度等.从能量角度分析,Li在嵌入时,优先占据晶胞的四面体间隙位置,然后逐步挤出处于节点位置的Sn原子和In原子.在嵌Li过程中,材料表现出较大的体积膨胀率(11.74%-43.40%),这是导致Sn₃InSb₄作为Li离子电极材料循环性能差的重要原因.态密度计算表明,体系的导电性能首先随嵌Li量的增加而增加,当所有的间隙位置被Li填满,发生Sn的替换反应时,富Li态合金相的导电性反而下降.

Co50Fe50-xSix合金的结构相变和磁性

利用实验测量和理论计算相结合的方法,研究了介于B2结构CoFe低有序合金和L2₁结构Co₂FeSi高有序合金之间的Co₅₀Fe_50-xSi_x合金的结构相变、磁相变、分子磁矩和居里温度.采用考虑Coulomb相互作用的广义梯度近似(GGA+U)方法计算了合金的能带结构.研究发现,合金出现较强的原子有序倾向,表现出较强的共价成相作用.合金的晶格常数、磁矩、居里温度随Si含量的增加而线性地降低,极限成分Co₂FeSi合金的分子磁矩和居里温度分别达到5.92μ_B和777 ℃.原子尺寸效应导致合金晶格发生变化,但并未成为居里温度和分子磁矩变化的主导因素.分子磁矩的变化符合Slater-Pauling原理,但发现原子磁矩的变化并非线性,据此提出了共价成相对磁性影响的观点.采用Stearns理论解释了居里温度的变化趋势,排除了原子间距对居里温度的主导影响作用.能带计算的结果还表明,Co₂FeSi作为半金属材料并非十分完美,可能在实际应用中会出现自旋极化率降低的问题.发现该系列合金的结构相变和磁相变随着成分的变化聚集在窄小的成分和温度范围内. 关键词： 磁性 Heusler合金 结构相变

The magnetic properties across the martensitic transition in the Co38Ni34Al28 alloy

The magnetic properties of the Co₃₈Ni₃₄Al₂₈ alloy have been studied. The alloy exhibits a first order austenite-martensite phase transition in the temperature region between 155 and 247 K. A strain of 0.07% is produced across this phase transition. The Arrott plots obtained from the isothermal magnetic field dependence of magnetization indicate the presence of spontaneous magnetization both in the austenite and martensite phases, confirming the ferromagnetic character of the alloy up to room temperature. The temperature dependence of the high field magnetization indicates the presence of spin wave excitations, spin wave excitation gap and spin wave-spin wave interactions in the martensite phase. The magnetic anisotropy energy constant for the Co₃₈Ni₃₄Al₂₈ alloy is estimated both with the help of the standard law of approach to saturation of magnetization, and also from the field dependence of magnetization using the field for technical saturation of magnetization. The temperature dependences of these energy terms are compared. The estimated values of the magnetic anisotropy constant seem to be in agreement with the magnitude of the spin wave excitation gap estimated from the temperature dependence of high field magnetization.

Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy study of the near surface region of the ternary Co-Cr-Mo alloy

Nature of the characteristic electron energy losses in the second electron emission spectra from the ternary Co-Cr-Mo alloy surface are studied in the low energy range of the primary electron energy E₀. The main types of losses were found: surface and bulk plasmons and their hybrid modes, interband transitions and ionization losses. For Co, Cr, Mo and Co-Cr-Mo alloy the experimental values of the plasmon energy were established to be less than it was predicted by free-electron gas model. Excess of conductive electrons in the surface layers for Co, Cr and Mo was observed by dependence of the surface plasmon dispersion from E₀, while for Co-Cr-Mo alloy the situation is quit opposite. Such behavior is explained by the complex phase structure of the ternary alloy. The analysis of intensity lines of plasmons from E₀ showed deeply changed alloy profile. Ionization Spectroscopy was used for studying the alloy elements distributing on the depth. Mo atoms preferred segregation in the outermost layers of Co-Cr-Mo alloy and enrichment with Cr competitive atoms in underlayers is displayed.     

X-ray diffraction analysis for quasi-crystals under pressure

Abstract

X-ray diffration analysis under high pressure was performed on the icosahedral phase (I-phase) of an Al₈₀Mn₂₀ alloy and Al₆Li₃Cu alloy. The I-phase of an Al-Mn alloy was stable and there was no indication of phase transformations. In an Al-Li-Cu alloy, the I-phase underwent irreversible transformation successively to the amorphous state and the long-range ordered state. This is the first observation of the pressure-induced amorphization.     

Microstructure and infrared emissivity property of coating containing TiO2 formed on titanium alloy by microarc oxidation

Ceramic coatings containing TiO₂ were formed on Ti6Al2Zr1Mo1V alloy surface by microarc oxidation (MAO) method. The microstructure, phase and chemical composition of the coatings were analyzed by SEM, XRD and EDS techniques. The coating mainly consists of rutile TiO₂ and a small amount of anatase TiO₂. The infrared emissivity values of coated and uncoated titanium samples when exposed to 700 °C were tested. It was found that the coating exhibits a higher infrared emissivity value (about 0.9) in the wavelength range of 8–14 μm than that of the uncoated titanium alloy, although which shows a slight increase from 0.1 to 0.3 with increasing exposure time at 700 °C. The relatively high infrared emissivity value of the MAO coating is possibly attributed to the photon emission from the as formed TiO₂ phase.     

Tailoring the morphology of CoxPt1−x magnetic nanostructures

Co_xPt_1−x nanostructures with varying composition and controllable morphologies have been synthesized through the thermal decomposition of appropriate platinum and cobalt precursors in organic solvents. The employment of several different surfactants facilitated the production of nanostructures with various sizes and shapes including nanowires, flower-like structures and spherical particles. The composition of the as-prepared nanomaterials ranged between Pt-rich and stoichiometric CoPt alloy, mainly depending on the starting ratio of the precursors. Three-dimensional structures such as the ‘flower-like’ ones showed a net ferromagnetic behavior, even at room temperature. In certain cases, the alloy nanostructures were annealed in order to obtain the ‘hard’ fct-CoPt phase, which displayed high coercivity values.

Effect of natural and magnetic convections on the structure of electrodeposited zinc-nickel alloy

The effects of a magnetic field applied in a direction parallel or perpendicular to the cathode substrate plane, during electrodeposition process of Zn-Ni alloy have been investigated by means of chronoamperometric measurements, X-ray diffraction and EDX analysis. The modification of crystal orientation of the alloy by the superimposition of a high magnetic field is discussed for alloys with a content of nickel range 6-13 at%. Whatever the phase composition obtained without magnetic field, either γ-Ni₅Zn₂₁ or a mixture of the γ and zinc phases, which depends on the concentration of Ni²⁺ in the electrolyte bath, the preferential orientation (1 0 1) of the zinc phase is always favoured with perpendicular and parallel magnetic field. There is no saturation of this effect with amplitude of B up to 8 T. A study of different geometric configurations of the cathode, which induce more or less natural convection, consolidates these results. The structural modifications of Zn-Ni alloy electrodeposits are thus probably due to a magnetohydrodynamic effect. An additional phenomenon is observed in presence of a perpendicular applied magnetic field since the (3 3 0) preferential orientation of the γ-Ni₅Zn₂₁ disappears with high values of B.     

Preparation of Fe/Pt Films with Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy

We have investigated the microstructures and magnetic properties of L1₀ ordered equi-atomic FePt thin films prepared by ion beam sputtering and subsequent annealing. It is observed from X-ray reflectivity and X-ray diffraction measurements that the mixing at Fe/Pt interfaces starts to occur with annealing and leading to the FePt alloy phase formation. The rapid increase in the coercivity values above 275°C, obtained from vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements, confirms the formation of the ordered L1₀ FCT FePt phase.     

An integral fitting method for analyzing the isochronal transformation kinetics: Application to the crystallization of a Ti-based amorphous alloy

An integral fitting method has been developed to determine the phase transformation mechanism and to extract the kinetic parameters during the crystallization of amorphous alloys. The proper kinetic function of the phase transformation was firstly deduced. Theoretical differential scanning calorimetry curves were then calculated. All the kinetic parameters can be extracted by fitting the calculated differential scanning calorimetry curves to experimental data. We applied the integral fitting method to analyze the isochronal crystallization of the Ti₅₀Cu₄₂Ni₈ amorphous alloy. Results indicate that a transformation process considering impingement is more suitable to describe the crystallization kinetics of this alloy than using the traditional Johnson-Mehl-Avrami model. Mean values of the obtained kinetic parameters show strong heating rate dependence.
