Ni54Fe19Ga27单晶的形状记忆和超弹性

本文研究了单晶Ni₅₄Fe₁₉Ga₂₇不同方向的形状记忆效应、超弹性和磁性. 研究发现,单晶样品具有良好的双向形状记忆效应.不同晶体学方向的相变应变随着热循环次数的变化而改变. 在外应力作用下,通过应力诱发马氏体相变,样品在[001],[110],[111]方向分别产生了3.3%, 2% 和3%的可回复应变平台.磁性测量结果表明马氏体的磁晶各向异性能约为4.8× 10⁵ erg/cm³,远远小于变体孪生所需机械应力能,因此磁场的作用是使磁矩发生转动而不是使孪晶界移动, 成功揭示了不能在NiFeGa中获得大磁感生应变的物理根源.

Stress–strain–temperature behaviour of [001] single crystals of Co49Ni21Ga30 ferromagnetic shape memory alloy under compression

The conventional shape memory effect (SME) and pseudoelasticity (PE) in as-grown [100] single crystals of Co₄₉Ni₂₁Ga₃₀ alloy under compression are reported. The parent single crystals exhibit about 5% transformation strain at compressive stress levels as low as 4?MPa, and a pseudoelastic strain of 4.5%. Complete PE was observed in the temperature range from 35 to 285°C, along with increasing stress hysteresis with temperature. The latter is attributed to increasing number of variants and the corresponding variant–variant interactions. We demonstrate that the current material can be utilized in applications that demand high strength at elevated temperatures. Moreover, the current results also indicate the potential of this material to exhibit magnetic shape memory effect, which could broaden the scope of utility of this material upon further research.     

Strain characteristics and superelastic response of single crystals

The intermartensitic transformation, in a two-step complete thermoelastic martensitic transformation in Ni_53.2Mn_22.6Ga_24.2 single crystals, provides a much larger strain than that of the martensitic transformation. With a biasing magnetic field, the intermartensitic transformation strain is inhibited and the martensitic transformation strain is enhanced. Compressive stress–strain characteristics can be affected greatly by a static magnetic field. At low deformation temperature, the irreversible transformation strain induced by the stress becomes reversible, when a static magnetic field is applied. Further, the magnitude of the stress necessary for rearrangement of martensitic variants is dependent on the direction of the biasing magnetic field. Moreover, a well-defined character of the twin-boundary motion, similar to the soliton motion, has been observed upon loading or unloading.     

Thermal expansion measurements of the quasi-one-dimensional conductor K0.30MoO3

The charge density wave (CDW) dynamics of the quasi-one-dimensional conductor K_0.30MoO₃ shows two different regimes depending on the temperature: a strongly damped CDW motion above ∼50 K and CDW motion with almost no damping below ∼50 K. In a search for a characterization of this CDW behaviour, we performed thermal expansion measurements on K_0.30MoO₃ single crystals in the temperature range 4-250 K. In addition to the anomaly observed at the Peierls transition at 180 K along the [102] direction, an anomaly is observed at ∼50 K along the [−201] and [102] directions. The results are discussed in relation with the change in the CDW rigidity at ∼50 K.     

Martensitic transformation in Cu-doped NiMnGa magnetic shape memory alloys

This paper studies the martensitic transformation in the Cu-doped NiMnGa alloys. The orthorhombic martensite transforms to L2₁ cubic austenite by Cu substituting for Ni in the Ni_50-xCu_xMn₃₁Ga₁₉ (x=2--10) alloys, the martensitic transformation temperature decreases significantly with the rate of 40 K per Cu atom addition. The variation of the Fermi sphere radius (k_F) is applied to evaluate the change of the martensitic transformation temperature. The increase of k_F leads to the increase of the martensitic transformation temperature.     

Piezoelectric properties of tetragonal single-domain Mn-doped NBT-6 %BT single crystals

We report a study of properties of Mn-doped NBT-6 %BT single crystals. We show that tetragonal single-domain states can be stabilized by poling along a [001] direction. For carefully prepared crystals, the piezoelectric coefficient \(d_{33}\) can reach 570 pC/N. When poled along non-polar directions, the crystals exhibit ferroelectric domain structures consistent with tetragonal micron-sized domains, as revealed by optical observation and Raman spectroscopy. The multidomain crystals have lower \(d_{33}\) values, 225 and 130 pC/N for [011] and [111]-oriented crystals, respectively. This trend is commented on from a domain-engineering perspective.     

Study of the anisotropy of the dielectric response of Na<Subscript>1/2</Subscript>Bi<Subscript>1/2</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript> relaxor ferroelectric

The dielectric response, conductivity, and domain structure of (Na_1/2Bi_1/2)TiO₃ single crystals are studied in the temperature range of 290–750 K for the [100], [110], and [111] crystallographic directions. It is shown that the region of optical isotropization is observed in polarized light in the temperature range of 570–620 K. In this case, the birefringence (Δn) decreases and disappears (together with the image of the domain structure) for the [100] directions. The region of optical isotropization in the [111] directions is characterized by the disappearance of the image of the domain structure and by the existence of individual regions with partial quenching. The domain structure in the [110] directions remains distinguished against the background of a significant decrease in Δn in the indicated temperature range. The region of isotropization is also manifested in the temperature dependence of the imaginary part of the dielectric response and is determined by the isotropic character of the conductivity in the range of 570–620 K. The bulk conductivity has a thermally activated character with activation energies E _a = 50?60 meV at T < 500 K and E _a = 700?900 meV for T > 620 K. The low-frequency dispersion of the dielectric response is determined by the Maxwell–Wagner mechanism and is due to an increase in the ionic conductivity at temperatures above 620 K. The anisotropy of the susceptibility holds in the entire studied ranges of frequencies (25 Hz–1 MHz) and temperatures.

The growth of a single crystal of Sr3CuIrO6 and its magnetic behavior compared to polycrystals

We have grown single crystals of the psuedo-one-dimensional compound Sr₃CuIrO₆, a K₄CdCl₆-derived monoclinic structure with Cu-Ir chains along the [101] direction. We present the ac and dc magnetization behavior of the single crystals in comparison with that of the polycrystalline form reported earlier. There is a distinct evidence for at least two magnetic transitions, at 5 K (T ₁) and 19 K (T ₂), with different relative magnitudes in the single and polycrystals. The low temperature magnetic relaxation behavior of both the forms is found to be widely different, exhibiting unexpected time dependence.     

Twin evolution near the phase transformation of In77.5Tl22.5

The evolution of the martensitic twin microstructure in In_77.5Tl_22.5 single crystals was investigated by atomic force microscopy. During the reverse martensitic transformation the twins gradually flatten to disappear completely at the austenite finish temperature. The experimentally determined temperature dependence of the height of the twin profile agrees with the theoretical predictions of Barsch and Krumhansl.

High magnetic field properties of mixed terbium-yttrium ferrite garnets

Magnetization measurements in d.c. magnetic fields up to 180 kOe have been performed on polycrystalline specimens and on single crystals of mixed terbium-yttrium iron garnets: Tb _x Y_3–x Fe₅O₁₂ in the 4.2–300 K temperature range. On polycrystals (x=2.5; 2; 1; 0.37) the concentration dependence of both compensation point and spontaneous magnetization has been determined. In the single crystals (x=2; 1; 0.37) a strong magnetic anisotropy has been observed with a change of the easy direction of magnetization from [111] to [100] whenx decreases; abrupt field-induced transitions have been observed at low temperatures when the external field is applied along the [100] direction.     

Phenomenological description of a giant temperature hysteresis of ultrasound velocity and internal friction in lanthanum manganite

We propose an explanation for the experimentally observed [1] giant temperature hysteresis of the ultrasound velocity and internal friction in single crystals of lanthanum manganite (La_0.8Sr_0.2MnO₃). The effect is interpreted within the framework of a phenomenological model based on the notion of two coexisting sublattices of the oxygen octahedra performing cooperative tilting-rotational oscillations in bistable potential fields.     

Growth and characterization of ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 single crystals via high-temperature self-flux solution method

SrBi₂Ta₂O₉ (SBT) single crystals were produced by the high-temperature self-flux solution method using a Bi₂O₃ flux modified with B₂O₃. The processing conditions were optimized to obtain large and translucent SBT crystals with a layered habit and typical dimensions of approximately 7 × 5 × 0.2 mm. X-ray diffraction and x-ray topography measurements revealed that the major faces of the crystals with natural rectangular platelet morphology are perfectly (001)-oriented with edges directed along the [110] directions. The high quality of the crystals was confirmed by rocking curves (half-width of 0.04° for the (0018) reflection) and by ferroelectric measurements. The anisotropy in the dielectric and ferroelectric properties was investigated both along the [110] (ab plane) and the [001] (c axis) directions. The growth mechanism, morphology, and dielectric anisotropy of the SBT crystal platelets are discussed based on its crystallographic structure.

Orientational dependence of shape memory effects and superelasticity in CoNiGa,NiMnGa, CoNiAl,FeNiCoTi, and TiNi single crystals

The dependence of deforming stresses, shape memory effect (SME), and superelasticity (SE) on the orientation of the single crystal axis, test temperature, and disperse particle size is examined for CoNiGa, NiMnGa, CoNiAl, FeNiCoTi, and TiNi single crystals. The orientational dependence of SME, SE, and temperature interval of the development of martensitic transformations (MT) under loading and SE is established. The influence of disperse particles on magnitudes of SME, SE, and mechanical hysteresis is discussed.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 4–20, September, 2004.     

The contribution of anion disorder to ionic conductivity on single crystals of β-PbF2

The effect of the different cooling processes on the disorder of flourine ions and ionic conductivity in β-PbF₂ has been studied by X-ray method and ionic conductivity measurements on single crystals below the transition temperature T_c. The spike-like diffuse scattering was observed along the <111>¹ directions around the Bragg reflections. The activation energies for the conduction process are 0.40 eV for the sample quenched from 970 K and 0.54 eV for the one from 720 K. The higher the quenching temperature is, the higher the conductivity and the lower the activation energy become. The dependence of conductivity on the different cooling processes is more evident in single crystals than in polycrystalline samples. The contribution of the different cooling processes to ionic conductivity can be quantitatively explained by the extent of ordering of mobile fluorine ions. Time dependence of ionic conductivity has not been observed.     

Field-induced splitting of the OH-Stretch absorption line in KTaO3 and KTaO3 :Li

Abstract

We have studied the electric field-induced splitting of a single OH stretch mode in KTaO₃ and KTaO₃ :Li. For the three prominent directions [100], [110] and [111] we observed polarized splitting patterns with up to six components. The line positions exhibit no mirror symmetry with respect to the zero-field frequency. This behaviour can be interpreted by taking into account a field-dependent shift of the Ta⁵⁺ ion and a change of the covalent character of the bond. Li-doped KTaO₃ samples show for [Li] < 2mol% a line broadening, while for [Li] < 3.5 mol% a field dependent phase transition has been observed with evidence for a 90 degree domain structure.
