Variation of magnetic properties in heat treated and ball milled Fe3Al alloy

The magnetic properties of three samples of Fe₃Al—as melted and annealed, high energy ball milled and milled sample followed by annealing—have been studied using a combination of X-ray diffraction, Transmission electron microscopy, room temperature ⁵⁷Fe M?ssbauer spectroscopy and DC magnetization. The different magnetic contributions in the M?ssbauer spectra have been explained in terms of the nearest neighbour Al configuration of Fe. These correlate well to the bulk magnetic properties determined by DC magnetization. High temperature DC magnetization studies show the presence of antiferromagnetic contributions from grain boundaries in the ball milled, nano sized sample.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of NiFe2−xAlxO4 nanoparticles

Nanocrystalline Al-doped nickel ferrite powders have been synthesized by sol–gel auto-ignition method and the effect of non-magnetic aluminum content on the structural and magnetic properties has been studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the powders obtained are single phase with inverse spinel structure. The calculated grain sizes from XRD data have been verified using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM photographs show that the powders consist of nanometer-sized grains. It was observed that the characteristic grain size decreases from 29 to 6 nm as the non-magnetic Al content increases, which was attributed to the influence of non-magnetic Al concentration on the grain size. Magnetic hysteresis loops were measured at room temperature with a maximum applied magnetic field of ≈1 T. As aluminum content increases, the measured magnetic hysteresis curves become more and more narrow and the saturation magnetization and remanent magnetization both decreased. The reduction of magnetization compared to bulk is a consequence of spin non-collinearity. Further reduction of magnetization with increase of aluminum content is caused by non-magnetic Al³⁺ ions and weakened interaction between sublattices. This, as well as the decrease in hysteresis was understood in terms of the decrease in particle size.     

Magnetic properties of Fe/ZnSe/Fe trilayers

The magnetic properties of Fe/Zn/Fe trilayers have been studied by ferromagnetic resonance and magnetization measurements. These measurements have been used to investigate the magnetic anisotropy of the iron layers and the magnetic coupling across the semiconductor spacer. The angular dependence of the resonance spectra has been measured in-plane and out-of-plane in order to deduce magnetic anisotropy constants of the samples. Experimental data were fitted by using an energy-density expression that includes bulk cubic anisotropy, growth-induced uniaxial in-plane anisotropy and perpendicular-surface anisotropy terms. A small ferromagnetic coupling is observed in the trilayers with spacer thickness up to .

Thermally induced changes in magnetic, transport and electronic properties of Fe/Al multilayers

The effect of thermal annealing on the magnetic, transport and electronic properties of electron beam evaporated Fe/Al multilayer samples (MLS), with an overall atomic concentration ratio of Fe/Al 1:1, have been investigated. The grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, resistivity and valance band photoemission measurements indicates the formation of sub-stoichiometric B2 FeAl intermetallic phase at the interface for the MLS annealed at higher temperatures. The corresponding magnetization measurements show large increase in coercivity and drastic reduction in magnetization values. The observed magnetization behaviour in each case is interpreted in terms of their structural and electronic properties changes induced due to the annealing treatment.     

Size dependent structural and magnetic behaviour of CaFe2O4

CaFe₂O₄ nanocrystalline powders were synthesized through sol–gel treatment in which the stoichiometric mixing of various nitrates involving calcium and iron in presence of citric acid was performed. Subsequently, the as prepared sample was annealed at various temperatures in order to obtain the fine distribution of size including the bulk counterpart. The samples were then characterized using powder X-ray diffraction followed by ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, SQUID as well as vibrating sample magnetometry. The results of spectroanalyses revealed that the samples were formed in single phase cubic spinel structure and exhibits room temperature superparamagnetism, except the bulk one, which crystallizes in characteristic orthorhombic structure of CaFe₂O₄ and displays trivial coercivity and remanent magnetization at room temperature.     

Initial magnetization curve and hardening mechanism in rapidly quenched NdFeB magnets

Rapidly quenched NdFeB alloys were prepared with varying grain sizes well below and above the critical size for single domain particles. The contributions of the single and multi-domain particles to the initial magnetization curve are analyzed. By changing the quenching speed, i.e., the average grain size, the shape of the initial magnetization curve changes characteristically. The volume fraction of single domain grains is determined from the initial magnetization curves. From scanning electron micrographs the grain size distribution is evaluated and the critical size for single domain particles in the bulk material is deduced from a quantitative analysis of the magnetization curves. It reaches twice the value of the theoretical value for isolated spherical particles. A low temperature treatment following the thermal demagnetization lowers the initial susceptibility in underquenched ribbons as well as in an MQIII magnet. This effect reflects the irreversibility of the transition from the multi to the single domain particle state during the cooling. The temperature dependence of the single domain particle size is deduced from the initial magnetization curves of low temperature treated samples. It is shown that these experimental results are consistently explained assuming the nucleation mechanism to apply for rapidly quenched NdFeB magnets. The results are compared to the behaviour of hard ferrites.     

Comparative study of core–shell iron/iron oxide gold covered magnetic nanoparticles obtained in different conditions

In this study, we report the synthesis and characterization of the core–shell Fe covered with Au shells nanoparticles with mean diameters between 5 and 8 nm. The inverse micelles method was utilized to produce the samples. X-ray diffraction studies show that both core–shell systems have the expected crystalline structure. High resolution transmission electron microscopy and atomic emission spectroscopy techniques give additional information concerning the structure and composition of nanoparticles. An intermediate shell of amorphous oxidized iron was found between the magnetic Fe core and the external gold shell. The magnetic behavior of different core–shell samples shows no hysteresis loop indicating the superparamagnetic behavior of Fe@Au systems. The superparamagnetic behavior is also evidenced from FC and ZFC dependences of the magnetization versus temperature. By using the temperature dependence of the thermoremanent magnetization combined with magnetization versus applied magnetic field, the effective anisotropy constant was determined. The Fe/Au interface contribution to the effective anisotropy constant was calculated and discussed in relation with the combined shape and stress anisotropies.     

Evolution of magnetic order in mechanically alloyed Al–1 at%Fe

The evolution of ferromagnetic order in high-energy ball-milled Al–1 at% Fe before the onset of a considerable Fe–Al solid solution phase has been investigated using ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer and bulk magnetization studies. The unmilled sample does not exhibit bulk magnetic properties and an onset of bulk magnetization is observed only after 30 min of milling, when the grain size becomes comparable to the ferromagnetic exchange length. The Curie temperatures of all the samples are less than that of pure iron. The reduction in grain size is accompanied by an increase in coercivity and reduced remanence and a decrease in T_C. The effective magnetic moment per iron atom decreases with the development of a non-magnetic, Al-rich Fe–Al solution on longer milling. The clustering of Fe at grain boundaries is responsible for the observed bulk magnetic ordering. The systematic variation of the magnetic properties has been qualitatively correlated with the evolution of microstructure, reduction in grain size and enhanced inter-granular exchange coupling.     

Effect of grain size on the magnetic properties of superparamagnetic Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles by co-precipitation process

Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ (NZFO) spinel-type nanoparticles were directly fabricated by the chemical co-precipitation process using metal nitrate and acetate as precursors since nitrogen and carbon would be taken away in the forms of oxynitride and oxycarbide, respectively, after the precursors were annealed and then investigated in detail by employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetic measurement and Raman spectroscopy. XRD analysis indicates that the as-prepared nanocrystals are all of a pure cubic spinel structure with their sizes ranging from 20.8 to 53.3 nm, as well as peaks of some samples shifting to lower angles due to lattice expansion. Calculations from the derived XRD data indicate that the activation energy is 30.83 kJ/mol. The magnetic measurements show that these samples are superparamagnetic. The saturation magnetization increases with annealing temperature, which may be explained by super-exchange interactions of Fe ions occurring at A- and B-sites. The variation of coercivity with particle size is interpreted on the basis of domain structure and crystal anisotropy. Furthermore, these nanoparticles exhibit a redshift phenomenon at lower temperatures seen in the Raman spectra, which could be related to ionic substitution.
