A physical mechanism based investigation on the elasto-plastic-damage behavior of anisotropic aluminum alloys under finite deformation

The elasto-plastic-damage behavior of anisotropic aluminum alloys is investigated under finite deformation using a physical mechanism based constitutive model. With an application to the structural calculation, the present model is used to describe and analyze the mechanical response of anisotropic 6260-T6 aluminum alloy extrusions. For the tensile specimens extracted along three different material orientations from the extruded aluminum profile, twelve simulations are carried out covering four different specimen geometries. The simulation results in force-displacement response and central logarithmic axial strain evolution are compared with experimental results. From the comparisons, it can be concluded that the present model has the capacity to describe the behavior of anisotropic material. From the force-displacement curves, the anisotropy is observed in different material orientations, and the physical mechanism of anisotropy is analyzed.     

Z-pinch dynamics under the combined breakdown in bismuth-antimony alloys

Time scans of the electric field in n-Bi_0.9Sb_0.1 samples are calculated under the impact ionization for various field orientations with respect to the crystal axes (the conditions of current given). The strong anisotropy of the pinch characteristics in the electron-hole plasma of such alloys is shown to be caused by the joint effect of the hole mobility anisotropy in the T-valley and the combined breakdown, the impact ionization being produced both by the external electric field and the Hall field. The magnitude of the latter is governed by the proper magnetic field of the current. The results explain the experimental data of Brandt et al. [1] who have observed the dynamical characteristics of the pinch in the above mentioned alloys to be strongly anisotropic.     

Magnetic field anisotropy based MR tractography

Non-invasive measurements of structural orientation provide unique information regarding the connectivity and functionality of fiber materials. In the present study, we use a capillary model to demonstrate that the direction of fiber structure can be obtained from susceptibility-induced magnetic field anisotropy. The interference pattern between internal and external magnetic field gradients carries the signature of the underlying anisotropic structure and can be measured by MRI-based water diffusion measurements. Through both numerical simulation and experiments, we found that this technique can determine the capillary orientation within 3°. Therefore, susceptibility-induced magnetic field anisotropy may be useful for an alternative tractography method when diffusion anisotropy is small at higher magnetic field strength without the need to rotate the subject inside the scanner.     

Theoretical study of the effective electron mass in ternary chalcopyrite semiconductors in the presence of crossed electric and magnetic fields

An attempt is made to investigate theoretically the effective electron mass in ternary chalcopyrite semiconductors at low temperatures on the basis of a newly derived dispersion relation of the conduction electrons under cross fields for the more generalized case which occurs from the consideration of the various types of anisotropies in the energy spectrum. It is found, taking degeneraten-CdGeAs₂ as an example, that the effective electron mass at the Fermi level along the direction of magnetic quantization depends on both the Fermi energy and the magnetic quantum number due to the combined influence of the crystal field splitting parameter and the anisotropic spin-orbit splitting parameter respectively, resulting in different effective masses at the Fermi level corresponding to different magnetic sub-bands. It is also observed that the same mass at the Fermi level in the direction normal to both magnetic and electric fields also varies both with Fermi energy and magnetic sub-band index, and the characteristic feature of cross-fields is to introduce the index-dependent oscillatory mass anisotropy. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental observations as reported elsewhere.     

Electronic structures and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies of ordered Co1-xNix alloys: a first principles study

The electronic structures and magnetocrystalline anisotropy(MA) of ordered hexagonal close-packed(hcp) Co1-xNix alloys are studied using the full-potential linear-augmented-plane-wave(FLAPW) method with generalized gradient approximation(GGA).Great changes of magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy(MAE) are gained with different Ni compositions.Also,in-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy is obtained for Co 15 Ni in which the Snoek’s limit is exceeded.It is found that the changes of the symmetry of the crystal field on Ni induce small variations in band structures around the Fermi level under different compositions,which plays an important role in modulating the magnetization direction,where the hybridization between Co-3d and Ni-3d orbits is of special importance in deciding the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of itinerant states.The rigid-band model is inapplicable to explain the evolution of magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy with Ni composition,and it is also inadequate to predict the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy through the anisotropy of the orbital magnetic moment.     

Thickness induced magnetic anisotropic properties of Tb-Fe-Co thin films

The influence of Tb₂₅Fe₆₁Co₁₄ thin film thicknesses varying from 2 to 300 nm on the structural and magnetic properties has been systematically investigated by using of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, magnetization, and magneto-optic Kerr effect microscopy measurements. Thin film growth mechanism is pursued and controlled by ex-situ X-ray refractometry measurements. X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the Tb₂₅Fe₆₁Co₁₄ films are amorphous regardless of thin films thicknesses. The magnetic properties are found to be strongly related to thickness and preferred orientation. With an increase in film thickness, the easy axis of magnetization is reversed from in-plane to out-of-plane direction. The change in the easy axes direction also affects the remanence, coercivity and magnetic anisotropy values. The cause for the magnetic anisotropy direction change from in-plane to out-of-plane can be related to the preferred orientation of the thin film which depends on the large out-of-plane coercivity and plays an important role in deciding the easy axes direction of the films. According to our results, up to the 100 nm in-plane direction is dominated over the whole system under major Fe-Fe interaction region, after that point, the magnetic anisotropy direction change to the out-of-plane under major Tb-Fe/Tb-Co interaction region and preferred orientation dependent perpendicular magnetic anisotropic properties become more dominated with 2.7 kOe high coercive field values.     

First principles study on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of Fe--Ga magnetostrictive alloys

This paper investigates the electronic structure and magnetocrystalline anisotropy of Fe--Ga magnetostrictive material by means of the full potential-linearized augmented plane-wave method within the generalized gradient approximation. The 3d-orbit splitting of Fe atoms in D0₃, B2-like and L1₂ crystalline structures of Fe--Ga is calculated with consideration of the crystal field as well as the spin--orbit coupling effect. Because of the frozen orbital angular momenta of the 3d-orbit for Fe atoms in Fe--Ga magnetostrictive alloys and the spin--orbit coupling, the distribution of the electron cloud is not isotropic, which leads to the anisotropy of exchange interaction between the different atoms. A method on estimating the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of Fe--Ga alloys by means of calculating orbit-projected density of states for Fe atoms is performed. The anisotropic distribution of the electron cloud of Fe atoms in these three crystalline structures of Fe--Ga is studied based on the above method showing the highest magnetic anisotropy for B2-like structure. This qualitative method comes closer to physical reality with a vivid physical view, which can evaluate the anisotropy of electron cloud for 3d transition atoms directly. The calculated results are in good agreement with both the previous theoretical computation and the tested value on the magnetic anisotropy constant, which confirms that the electron cloud anisotropy of Fe atoms could well characterize the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of Fe--Ga magnetostrictive material.     

Optical anisotropy of magnetosome-doped polymer films

The anisotropy of several PVA/magnetosome magnetically textured films has been investigated. The thin film synthesized under the influence of a magnetic field (99 mT) shows the typical behavior of an anisotropic material. The results show that the magnetic field applied during the synthesis promotes an orientation of the chains of magnetosomes and permanent textured film is obtained after solidification.     

Effect of pulsed magnetic field annealing on the microstructure and texture of grain-oriented silicon steel

The effect of pulsed magnetic primary annealing on the microstructure and texture of two-stage cold-rolled silicon steel is investigated. Specimens are annealed at 700 °C for 1 h under a 1 T pulsed magnetic field along different directions with respect to the sample coordinate system. Crystallographic orientation and grain size are identified by analyzing electron backscattered diffraction pattern. The effects of magnetic field treatment are related to the magnetic field direction. Based on the anisotropy energy of ferromagnetic material during magnetic annealing, a hypothesis is proposed. All of the experimental results in this work support the proposed model.     

Anisotropy of spin splitting and spin relaxation in lateral quantum dots

Inelastic spin relaxation and spin splitting epsilon(s) in lateral quantum dots are studied in the regime of strong in-plane magnetic field. Because of both the g-factor energy dependence and spin-orbit coupling, epsilon(s) demonstrates a substantial nonlinear magnetic field dependence similar to that observed by Hanson et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 196802 (2003)]. It also varies with the in-plane orientation of the magnetic field due to crystalline anisotropy of the spin-orbit coupling. The spin relaxation rate is also anisotropic, the anisotropy increasing with the field. When the magnetic length is less than the "thickness" of the GaAs dot, the relaxation can be an order of magnitude faster for B ||[100] than for B || [110].     

Anisotropy of transport phenomena in semiconductors of the tetragonal system

An investigation is made into the anisotropy of transport phenomena in semiconductors of the tetragonal system in classical magnetic fields with arbitrary orientation and magnitude. A detailed study is made of the anisotropy of the transport coefficients in the region of weak magnetic fields. A condition is obtained under which semiconductors with anisotropic conductivity are characterized by an isotropic Hall coefficient. It is established that the transport coefficients have qualitatively different asymptotic behaviors in strong magnetic fields of different orientations. The obtained expressions are general in nature and apply to a large class of semiconductors.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 69–74, August, 1980.     

Cholesteric–nematic transitions induced by a shear flow and a magnetic field

The untwisting of the helical structure of a cholesteric liquid crystal under the action of a magnetic field and a shear flow has been studied theoretically. Both factors can induce the cholesteric–nematic transition independently; however, the difference in the orienting actions of the magnetic field and the shear flow leads to competition between magnetic and hydrodynamic mechanisms of influence on the cholesteric liquid crystal. We have analyzed different orientations of the magnetic field relative to the direction of the flow in the shear plane. In a number of limiting cases, the analytic dependences are obtained for the pitch of the cholesteric helix deformed by the shear flow. The phase diagrams of the cholesteric–nematic transitions and the pitch of the cholesteric helix are calculated for different values of the magnetic field strength and the angle of orientation, the flow velocity gradient, and the reactive parameter. It is shown that the magnetic field stabilizes the orientation of the director in the shear flow and expands the boundaries of orientability of cholesterics. It has been established that the shear flow shifts the critical magnetic field strength of the transition. It is shown that a sequence of reentrant orientational cholesteric–nematic–cholesteric transitions can be induced by rotating the magnetic field in certain intervals of its strength and shear flow velocity gradients.     

Lamb waves in two-dimensional phononic crystal plate with anisotropic inclusions

An analysis is given to the band structure of the two-dimensional phononic crystal plate constituted of a square array of elastic anisotropic, circular Pb cylinders embedded in elastic isotropic epoxy. The numerical results show that the band gap can be tuned by rotating the anisotropic material orientation. It is found that the influence of anisotropy on band gap of Lamb wave is clearly different from that on the band gap of bulk waves. The thickness of the system under study is a sensitive parameter to affect the influence of anisotropic materials on the normalized gap width.     

Optical and electronic properties of anisotropic parabolic quantum disks in the presence of tilted magnetic fields

In the present work, the electronic and optical properties of anisotropic parabolic quantum disks are studied in the presence of an applied magnetic field. For this goal, we first obtain the electron energy levels of an anisotropic parabolic quantum disk under axial, tilted, and in-plane magnetic fields. According to the results obtained for the energy levels reveal that there is no degeneracy at zero magnetic field due to symmetry breaking. With increasing the anisotropy, the energy level spacing increases. At a constant anisotropy, the energy levels splitting decreases with increasing tilt angle of magnetic field. The total refractive index changes decrease when the tilt angle of magnetic field and the anisotropy increase. Also, the total absorption coefficients increase as the tilt angle of magnetic field and anisotropy increase.     

Crystal orientation in Bi-based superconducting glass-ceramics prepared in high magnetic field

A high magnetic field of 10 T was applied to the crystallization process of Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_x superconducting precursor glasses, and the effect of high magnetic field on crystal grain orientations and superconducting properties were examined from electrical resistivity measurements, X-ray diffraction analyses and scanning electron microscope observations. The glass-ceramics prepared in a high magnetic field show better superconducting properties (higher critical temperature, larger critical current density, and smaller normal-state resistivity) compared with the samples crystallized in a normal heat-treatment with no magnetic field. It was found that Bi2212 crystal grains with a plate-like shape tend to stack to the direction of the magnetic field, i.e., the orientation of the c-axis of the Bi2212 phase to the direction of the magnetic field.

Effect of crystallization annealing under loading on the magnetic properties and the structure of a soft magnetic FeSiNbCuB alloy doped with chromium

The changes of quasi-static magnetic hysteresis loops and X-ray diffraction patterns of the Fe_73.5Si_13.5B₉Nb₃Cu₁ doped to 10 at % chromium instead of iron have been studied to elucidate the influence of the thermomechanical treatment consisting of annealing and cooling of the alloy under the tensile stress (tensile-stress annealing (TSA)) on the magnetic properties and the structure of these alloys. It is shown that the treatment results in the induction of the magnetic anisotropy of the hard axis type at which the magnetization reversal along the direction of applying the external stress during annealing is hampered. The energy of the induced magnetic anisotropy decreases as the chromium content increases. During TSA, the nanocrystal lattices are deformed, and the deformation is retained after cooling. The interplanar spacings increase along the extension direction and decrease in the transverse direction. The deformation anisotropy is observed for crystallographic directions. The anisotropic deformation of the bcc lattice of nanocrystals with high content of the ordered Fe₃Si phase characterized by a negative magnetoelastic interaction is the cause of formation of the state with the transverse magnetic anisotropy of the hard axis type.     

MgF2单晶中位错缺陷的ESR谱——含有130多条谱线

在室温条件下的激光晶体MgF2单晶中，实验发现含有130多条峰的电子自旋共振(ESR)波谱。两个样品分别取自MgF2单晶生长放肩的尖锥部位和MgF2:Co晶体.两个样品都没有经过任何辐照处理。两个样品具有相同的各向异性谱，说明掺入的Co2+离子引发了与MgF2单晶放肩部位相同的位错缺陷，产生了相同的多核固体自由基。这些顺磁固体自由基稳定且寿命长，产生的ESR信号是各向异性的。经初步计算拟合，谱线是由三种不同的多核自由基产生的。当磁场方向与晶体的[100]或[010]方向平行时，样品的ESR信号出现在磁场从0.2292特斯拉（T）到0.4654T的0.2362T范围内（相当于能带宽度为0.233eV）。最窄的线宽DH约为0.00128特斯拉，DH相当于相邻的能级差,是非常小的，仅有1.85×10-7eV 或1.46×10-3cm-1。这一事实表明其基态简并度是相当高的，在不太高的直流磁场下几乎是一个由准连续的能级组成的能带。这有可能成为可调谐的固体激光介质的新基点。
