Influence of annealing treatment on as-grown Ib-type diamond crystal at a high temperature and high pressure

In this paper,we report on the influence of annealing treatment on as-grown Ib-type diamond crystal under high pressure and high temperature in a china-type cubic anvil high-pressure apparatus.Experiments are carried out at a pressure of 7.0 GPa and temperatures ranging from 1700 C to 1900 C for 1 h.Annealing treatment of the diamond crystal shows that the aggregation rate constant of nitrogen atoms in the as-grown Ib-type diamond crystal strongly depends on diamond morphology and annealing temperature.The aggregation rate constant of nitrogen remarkably increases with the increase of annealing temperature and its value in octahedral diamond is much higher than that in cubic diamond annealed at the same temperature.The colour of octahedral diamond crystal is obviously reduced from yellow to nearly colorless after annealing treatment for 1 h at 1900 C,which is induced by nitrogen aggregation in a diamond lattice.The extent of nitrogen aggregation in an annealed diamond could approach approximately 98% indicated from the infrared absorption spectra.The micro-Raman spectrum reveals that the annealing treatment can improve the crystalline quality of Ib-type diamond characterized by a half width at full maximum at first order Raman peak,and therefore the annealed diamond crystals exhibit nearly the same properties as the natural IaA-type diamond stones of high quality in the Raman measurements.     

La0.6Pr0.05Fe11.5-xCoxSi1.5合金的磁性和磁热效应

使用电弧炉熔炼法制备La0.6Pr0.05Fe11.5-xCoxSi1.5(x=0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5和0.6)系列合金.XRD分析与SEM成分分析表明该系列合金中除含有少量富镧相(P4/nmm)和α-Fe相外.均由NaZh13型立方结构单相组成.品格常数随着Co含量的增加基本保持不变.磁性测量表明该系列合金的Tc随着Co含母的增加旱线性增加,当x=0.6时,Tc达264 K.合金的升、降温磁化曲线随着Co含量的增加逐渐重合,即表明该系列合金的热滞随着Co含量的增加而减小;利用Maxwell方程计算得出在x=0时,合金在△B=1.5 T的外磁场下-△Sm达到38.4 J·kg-1·K-1.这种磁熵变来源于外磁场引起的一级相变,随着Co含量的增加-△Sm线性减小,这是由于Co含量的增加使合金的磁相变出现由一级相变向二级相变转变.
