Strain Induced Nanopillars and Variation of Magnetic Properties in La_(0.825)Sr_(0.175)MnO_3/LaAlO_3 Films

To investigate the process of strain relaxation and resultant variation of microstructure and magnetic properties,low-doped La_(0.825)Sr_(0.175)MnO_3 epitaxial films with different thicknesses are deposited on LaAlO_3 substrates and strain induced nanopillars are discovered inside the La_(0.825) Sr_(0.175)MnO_3 film. Perpendicular oriented nanopillars mainly exist below 30 nm and tend to disappear above 30 nm. The distribution of nanopillars not only induce the variation of lattice parameters and local structural distortion but also lead to the deviation of easy magnetization axis from the perpendicular direction. Specifically, the out-of-plane lattice parameters of the film decrease quickly with the increase of the thickness but tend to be constant when the thickness is above 30 nm. Meanwhile, the variations of magnetic properties along in-plane and out-of-plane directions would also decline at first and they then remain nearly unchanged. Our work constructs the relationship between nanopillars and magnetic properties inside films. We are able to clearly reveal the effects of inhomogeneous strain relaxation.     

Magnetic Properties of Melted ThMn12-Type Carbides and Their Nitrides

The carbides of NdDy0.2Fe12-yMoyC0.6 （y = 1.5, 2） crystallized in the ThMn12-type structure have been successfully synthesized by arc melting method, followed by a heat treatment. The magnetic properties are strongly enhanced with the addition of carbon. Upon the carbonation the saturation magnetization Ms is increased by about 20emu/g and the Curie temperature Tc is enhanced by 40-70K. The spin reorientation （SR） temperature decreases from 125 K for NdDy0.2Fe10Mo2 to 55 K for NdDy0.2Fe10MO2C0.6 indicating the change of magnetocrystalline anisotropy in the Nd sublattice. It is found that the intrinsic magnetic properties of the carbides can be improved by further nitrogenation, The composite carbon-nitrogen compounds show a Tc - 560K, M8 - 105 emu/g and Ha （anisotropy field） - 86kOe for NdDy0.2Fe10Mo2Co.6Nz and a Tc- 628K, M8 - 119 emu/g and Ha - 115kOe for NdDy0.2Fe10.5Mo1.5C0.6Nz. These magnetic properties are even better than those of simple nitrides, suggesting that these compounds can be considered as a good candidate for permanent magnet applications.

Structural and Magnetic Properties of Nd（Fe,Mo）12Nx Compounds Produced by Strip-Casting Method

The strip casting （SC） technique is employed to fabricate Nd（Fe,Mo）12Nx magnets. The crystallographic structure, intrinsic and permanent magnetic properties, as well as the microstruetures of the compound are investigated. There are prominent advantages for the SC Nd-Fe-Mo ailoys and their nitrides when compared with the samples prepared by the conventional casting （CC） method： （1） SC technique rebounds to the formation of the compounds crystallizing in a ThMn12-type structure. A single-phased host alloy Nd（Fe,Mo）12 can be directly prepared by strip casting without any isothermal annealing. Accordingly, lower energy cost and less rare earth demand notablely benefit the manufacture processing from a point of economizing. （2） The intrinsic magnetic properties, such as Curie temperature To, saturation magnetization Ms and anisotropy field Ha of the SC sample exceed the CC sample due to a phase forming condition with less-Mo-depended. （3） The microstructure studies also demonstrate that the SC compound contains finer grains, better-proportioned phase distribution than the CC compound. Optimized finM particles are observed aligned in their easy axis and the energy product of powder sample is up to （BH）max - 22 MGOe （176 kJ/m3）.     

Magnetic and Magnetocaloric Properties of Polycrystalline and Oriented Mn_(2-δ)Sn

Mn-based Heusler alloys have attracted significant research attention as half-metallic materials because of their giant magnetocr.ystalline anisotropy and magnetocaloric properties.We investigate the crystal structure and magnetic properties of polycrystalline,[101]-oriented,and[100]-oriented Mn_(2-δ) Sn prepared separately by arc melting,the Bridgeman method,and the flux method.All of these compounds crystallize in a Ni_2 In-type structure.In the Mn_(2-δ)Sn lattice,Mn atoms occupy all of the 2 a and a fraction of the 2 d sites.Site disorder exists between Mn and Sn atoms in the 2 c sites.In addition,these compounds undergo a re-entrant spin-glass-like transition at low temperatures,which is caused by frustration and randomness within the spin system.The magnetic properties of these systems depend on the crystal directions,which means that the magnetic interactions differ significantly along different directions.Furthermore,these materials exhibit a giant magnetocaloric effect near the Curie temperature.The largest value of maximum of magnetic entropy change(-△S_M)occurs perpendicular to the[100]direction.Specifically,at 252 K,maximum-△S_M is 2.91 and 3.64 J-kg~(-1)K~(-1) for a magnetic field of 5 and7 T,respectively.The working temperature span over 80 K and the relative cooling power reaches 302 J/kg for a magnetic field of 7 T,which makes the Mn_(2-δ)Sn compound a promising candidate for a magnetic refrigerator.
