Atom-solid 3p level binding energy shift of transition metals Cr,Mn, Fe,Co, and Ni

Binding energy shifts between atomic and solid phases for transition metals Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni have been obtained for 3p subshells from simultaneously recorded atomic vapor and solid state spectra. This experimental technique provides higher accuracy in comparison to separate measurements and allows direct determination of the shifts. The observed shift values are compared to values obtained using the semiempirical Born–Haber cycle method and the peak structures of the solid state photoelectron spectra are compared to atomic 3p spectra. The binding energy shift of Cr is found to be much smaller than that of the other studied elements.

Hall effect in the ternary ordered alloys Ni3(Mn,Fe) and Ni3(Mn,Co) II. Ordered solid solutions

An experimental study was made of the changes in the normal and anomalous Hall constants R₀ and R_s, respectively, the internal saturation induction B_s, and the resistivity ? during the ordering of quasibinary Ni₃Mn-Ni₃Fe and Ni₃Mn-Ni₃Co alloys. The concentration dependences of R₀, R_s, B_s, and ? were also studied in the ordered state of these alloys. It is concluded from an analysis of the experimental results that the decreases inR₀ and ? during the ordering of Ni₃Mn and as a result of the alloying of ordered Ni₃Mn with slight amounts (～5 at. %) of iron are due primarily to a decrease in the hole contribution to transport and to a decrease in the state density in the 3d band of these alloys near the Fermi level. The experimental data are in satisfactory agreement with the curve calculated by Yamashita et al. [6] for the density of 3d states in ordered Ni₃Mn and Ni₃Fe alloys.     

Hall effect in the ternary ordered alloys Ni3(Mn,Fe) and Ni3(Mn,Co) 1. Disordered solution solutions

The normal and anomalous Hall constants R₀ and R_s, respectively, and the resistivity have been measured for the quasibinary alloys Ni₃Mn-Ni₃Fe and Ni₃Mn-Ni₃Co. The results imply that in ternary alloys of Ni₃Mn containing slight Fe and Co impurities the hole regions of the Fermi surface make an important contribution to R₀ and that the primary scattering mechanism for the carriers corresponding to the anomalous Hall current in the alloys with Fe at room temperature is phonon scattering. It is concluded that the Fermi surface of the Ni₃Mn-Ni₃Fe alloys is closed.Translated from Izvestiya VUZ. Fizika, No. 3, pp. 21–29, March, 1970.     

Influence of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) on the methane combustion over Pd/Ce-Zr/Al2O3 catalyst

The effects of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) on the catalytic properties of Pd/Ce-Zr/Al₂O₃ catalyst for methane combustion have been investigated. The supported Pd catalysts are characterized by BET, XRD, TEM, TPR, TPO and TPSR measurements. Activity tests in methane combustion show that Pd/Ce-Zr-Ni/Al₂O₃ has the highest catalytic activity and thermal stability among all catalysts. The results of TEM show that the addition of Ni to Pd/Ce-Zr/Al₂O₃ increases the dispersion of Pd component and inhibits the site growth. The results of TPO and TPSR show that the addition of Ni inhibits the decomposition of PdO particles and improves the reduction-reoxidation properties of the active PdO species, which increases the catalytic activity and thermal stability of the Pd/Ce-Zr/Al₂O₃ catalyst.

Enhancement of magnetic coercivity in Fe/Mn and Co/Mn bilayers

The dependence of the coercive field and saturated magnetization on the interfacial width is studied to understand the driving mechanism of the coercive enhancement in Fe/Mn and Co/Mn bilayers. We establish a controlled annealing procedure to reveal the origin of this enhancement. Using a model, we reveal that the full interfacial width plays a keyrole, and that no Mn based finite size effects drive the mechanism. We show that this mechanism is common to both type of bilayers.

Large magnetothermoelectric power in Co/Cu, Fe/Cu and Fe/Cr multilayers

We report and discuss experimental data on the thermoelectric power of magnetic multilayers. Measurements of the thermoelectric power of Fe/Cr, Co/Cu and Fe/Cu multilayers have been carried out in the temperature range 4K < T < 150 K magnetic fields perpendicular to the layers. All specimens were found to exhibit pronounced magnetothermoelectric power (MTEP) effects correlating with their giant negative magnetoresistance. The main difference between the MTEP and the magnetoresistance is in their temperature dependence. Whereas the magnetoresistance is a decreasing function of temperature, the MTEP, at least in Co/Cu and Fe/Cu multilayers, is very small at low temperature and increases rapidly above 30–40 K. We ascribe this high temperature part of the MTEP to spin-dependent electron-magnon scattering and we propose a theoretical model.     

Resolving surface chemical states in XPS analysis of first row transition metals, oxides and hydroxides: Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni

Chemical state X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of first row transition metals and their oxides and hydroxides is challenging due to the complexity of their 2p spectra resulting from peak asymmetries, complex multiplet splitting, shake-up and plasmon loss structure, and uncertain, overlapping binding energies. Our previous paper [M.C. Biesinger et al., Appl. Surf. Sci. 257 (2010) 887-898.] in which we examined Sc, Ti, V, Cu and Zn species, has shown that all the values of the spectral fitting parameters for each specific species, i.e. binding energy (eV), full wide at half maximum (FWHM) value (eV) for each pass energy, spin-orbit splitting values and asymmetric peak shape fitting parameters, are not all normally provided in the literature and data bases, and are necessary for reproducible, quantitative chemical state analysis. A more consistent, practical and effective approach to curve fitting was developed based on a combination of (1) standard spectra from quality reference samples, (2) a survey of appropriate literature databases and/or a compilation of literature references and (3) specific literature references where fitting procedures are available. This paper extends this approach to the chemical states of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni metals, and various oxides and hydroxides where intense, complex multiplet splitting in many of the chemical states of these elements poses unique difficulties for chemical state analysis. The curve fitting procedures proposed use the same criteria as proposed previously but with the additional complexity of fitting of multiplet split spectra which has been done based on spectra of numerous reference materials and theoretical XPS modeling of these transition metal species. Binding energies, FWHM values, asymmetric peak shape fitting parameters, multiplet peak separation and peak area percentages are presented. The procedures developed can be utilized to remove uncertainties in the analysis of surface states in nano-particles, corrosion, catalysis and surface-engineered materials.

Cr、Mn、Co、Ni掺杂对Al13Fe4相稳定性和力学性能影响的第一性原理研

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,系统地研究了不同掺杂浓度下过渡族元素Cr、Mn、Co、Ni在Al13Fe4相中的占位情况、结构稳定性和机械性能. 计算得到所有的Al13(Fe24-xMx) (M=Cr、Mn、Co、Ni;X=1,2,4)相都具有良好的热力学稳定性和机械稳定性. 相同掺杂浓度化合物的形成焓按如下顺序减小：Al78(Fe24-xCrx) > Al78(Fe24-xMnx) > Al13Fe4 > Al78(Fe24-xNix) > Al78(Fe24-xCox).形成焓的降低增加了Al13Fe4相成核驱动力,Co和Ni有利于促进Al-Fe合金中Al13Fe4相形核,细化Al13Fe4相. 过渡族元素可以改善金属间化合物的脆性,增强塑性变形能力. 并且随着掺杂浓度的增加,过渡族元素的加入对脆性的改善呈先增大后减小的趋势.
