Magnetic and Crystalline Microstructures of Fe-Pt-B Nanocomposite Ribbons

We investigate magnetic and crystalline microstructures of melt-spun (Fe0.675Pt0.325)100-xBx (x=12, 14, 16, 18,20) nanocomposite ribbons after optimal thermal treatment using a magnetic force microscope. The magnetic microstructures are characterized by darker spots adjacent to brighter ones in a sub-micro scale and in random distribution. It is found that the strength of the exchange coupling interaction between the crystals in the 10-100 nm scale, implied by the maximum value (δM)max of the Henkel plot, could be roughly described by the ratio of the average width of the magnetic spots w^- to the average crystal size D^- for the ribbons. Moreover, we find that the intrinsic coercivity jHc of the ribbons is sensitive to their crystal sizes, and the smaller D^-, the higher jHc. Finally, by using roughness analysis, the curve of the root mean square values (δФ)rms of the phase shift of the magnetic force images versus the boron content x is obtained, which is qualitatively consistent with that of the magnetization σ12 kOe of the ribbons versus x.     

直流磁控溅射Si和玻璃衬底Fe/Co多层膜的磁性能比较

对直流磁控溅射Si和玻璃衬底［Co_t/Fe_3t］₅(t=2, 3, 4, 5nm)多层膜的磁性能进行了比较.对于t相同但衬底不同的样品,实验发现饱和磁化强度相差很小,但是矫顽力却相差很大.对矫顽力差异的理论分析表明,多层膜的粗糙度和畴壁类型是引起这种差异的主要原因. 关键词： Fe/Co多层膜 磁性能 矫顽力     

2：17型Sm（Co，Fe，Cu，Zr）z磁体微磁结构的磁力显微镜研究

用磁力显微镜（MFM）研究了2：17型Sm（Co，Fe，Cu，Zr）z磁体的微磁结构。通过对镀和不镀Ta高温退火前后样品的微磁结构的比较。研究表明：20nm厚度的Ta膜保护层能有效抑制高温下Sm的挥发；对于2：17型Sm-Co磁体，样品制备过程中介入的应力只能对磁畴结构产生局域的影响；不镀Ta膜高温退火后，由于Sm严重挥发，样品表面微磁结构发生很大变化。对比高矫顽力Fe-Pt针尖和普通Co-Cr MESP针尖测量的磁力图，     

Magnetic Force Microscopy Study of Alternate Sputtered （001） Oriented L1o Phase FePt Films

We present a magnetic force microscopy study of alternate sputtered （001） oriented L1o phase FePt films. It is found that the root-mean-square value of phase shift of magnetic force images, （ △Ф）rms, can be used to characterize the perpendicular anisotropy for a series of specimens. Therefore, the considerable improvement of the perpendicular anisotropy after post-annealing can be characterized. In addition, the magnetic properties, magnetic and crystalline microstructures before and after post-annealing are compared for the typical [Fe5nm Pt5 nm]10 film with substrate temperature T8 = 500℃, single layer thickness d = 5 nm and total layer thickness D=100 nm to confirm the effect of post-annealing on improving the perpendicular anisotropy for Fe-Pt films.     

Energy band and charge-carrier engineering in skutterudite thermoelectric materials

The binary CoSb₃ skutterudite thermoelectric material has high thermal conductivity due to the covalent bond between Co and Sb, and the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, is very low. The thermal conductivity of CoSb₃ materials can be significantly reduced through phonon engineering, such as low-dimensional structure, the introduction of nano second phases, nanointerfaces or nanopores, which greatly improves their ZT values. The phonon engineering can optimize significantly the thermal transport properties of CoSb₃-based materials. However, the improvement of the electronic transport properties is not obvious, or even worse. Energy band and charge-carrier engineering can significantly improve the electronic transport properties of CoSb₃-based materials while optimizing the thermal transport properties. Therefore, the decoupling of thermal and electronic transport properties of CoSb₃-based materials can be realized by energy band and charge-carrier engineering. This review summarizes some methods of optimizing synergistically the electronic and thermal transport properties of CoSb₃ materials through the energy band and charge-carrier engineering strategies. Energy band engineering strategies include band convergence or resonant energy levels caused by doping/filling. The charge-carrier engineering strategy includes the optimization of carrier concentration and mobility caused by doping/filling, forming modulation doped structures or introducing nano second phase. These strategies are effective means to improve performance of thermoelectric materials and provide new research ideas of development of high-efficiency thermoelectric materials.

Eu~(3+)掺杂的Na_2YMg_2(VO_4)_3荧光粉制备和发光特性

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了Na2Y1-xMg2(VO4)3∶x Eu~(3+)(x=0.15~0.75)系列自激活荧光粉。用XRD、SEM、光致发光光谱和荧光衰减曲线分别对其结构、形貌和发光性能进行表征。XRD结果显示样品为纯石榴石结构,其中Eu~(3+)取代Y~(3+);SEM照片显示样品为粒径大小在0.3~1μm范围内不规则的光滑球状颗粒;光谱分析表明,Na2YMg2(VO4)3作为自激活发光基质可以被200~400 nm紫外光有效激发,发出源于VO_4~(3-)电荷迁移跃迁的波长范围为400~700 nm的宽谱带绿光。掺杂Eu~(3+)后,在340 nm紫外光激发下同时出现了VO_4~(3-)的电荷迁移带和Eu~(3+)的特征光谱。不同浓度Eu~(3+)掺杂的光谱和荧光衰减曲线表明,存在VO_4~(3-)和Eu~(3+)之间的能量传递。     

水热法制备SrFe12O19铁氧体粉末及其烧结后结构和磁性能研究

采用水热法合成了M型SrFe12O19铁氧体粉末,并对其烧结前后的结构和磁性能进行了研究.实验发现,无论烧结前还是后样品都是单相铁氧体结构.烧结后,样品的矫顽力和饱和磁化强度分别从42.9 kA/m和48.1 emu/g显著增加到237.8 kA/m和64.9 emu/g,这与高温烧结后其晶粒的长大密切相关.实验还发现,烧结后样品中存在着剩磁增强效应,其原因可归于样品中不同磁硬度的纳米晶相之间的磁耦合作用.
