Spin-reorientation phase transition in the basal plane in α-Fe2O3:Ga,Dy

In hematite crystals doped with gallium and dysprosium ions a spin-reorientation phase transition induced in the basal plane by the introduction of dysprosium ions was observed in the temperature range T=15–20 K. The effect is associated with the competition between the anisotropy fields arising from the iron and rare-earth subsystems. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 63, No. 9, 694–697 (10 May 1996)     

Specific heat of Dy2Ti2O7 in magnetic fields: comparison between single-crystalline and polycrystalline data

We report the specific heat of single crystals of the spin ice compound Dy₂Ti₂O₇ under magnetic fields down to 1.8 K. Our polycrystalline results down to 0.4 K are fully consistent with the previous report by Ramirez et al. For the magnetic field along the [100] direction, C_spin/T is interpreted as one Schottky peak characterized by the Zeemann splitting of the Ising levels of all four equivalent spins for each tetrahedron. However, for the magnetic field along the [111] direction, C_spin/T is interpreted as two-component Schottky peak reflecting the fact that there are two kinds of spin components. Along the [110] direction, it is also interpreted as two-component Schottky peak because of experimental misalignment. We found that the features of the polycrystalline data in magnetic fields cannot be reconstructed by simply taking appropriate averages of the present anisotropic single-crystalline data.     

Sonochemical synthesis of Dy2(CO3)3 nanoparticles,Dy(OH)3 nanotubes and their conversion to Dy2O3 nanoparticles

Dysprosium carbonates nanoparticles were synthesized by the reaction of dysprosium acetate and NaHCO₃ by a sonochemical method. Dysprosium oxide nanoparticles with average size about 17 nm were prepared from calcination of Dy₂(CO₃)₃·1.7H₂O nanoparticles. Dy(OH)₃ nanotubes were synthesized by sonication of Dy(OAC)₃·6H₂O and N₂H₄. The as-synthesized nanostructures were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Photoluminescence measurement shows that the nanoparticles have two emission peaks around 17,540 cm^?1 and 20,700 cm^?1, which should come from the electron transition from ⁴F_9/2 → ⁶H_15/2 levels and ⁴F_9/2 → ⁶H_13/2 levels, respectively. The effect of calcination temperature and sonication time was investigated on the morphology and particle size of the products. The sizes could be controlled by the feeding rate of the precipitating agent (NaHCO₃ and N₂H₄) and slower feeding rate lead to smaller nanoparticles.     

Diffusion of nickel in single- and polycrystalline Cr2O3

Chromia protective layers are formed on many industrial alloys to prevent corrosion by oxidation. Their role is to limit the inward diffusion of oxygen and the outward diffusion of cations. A number of chromia-forming alloys contain nickel as a component, such as steels, FeNiCr and NiCr alloys. To ascertain if chromia is a barrier to outward diffusion, nickel diffusion in chromia was studied in both single crystals and polycrystals in the temperature range 900–1100°C at an oxygen pressure of 10^?4 atm (argon + 100 ppm O₂). A nickel film of ～35 nm thick was deposited on the chromia surface and, after diffusing treatment, nickel penetration profiles were established by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Two diffusion domains appear in polycrystals, the first domain is assigned to bulk diffusion and the second is due to diffusion along grain boundaries. For the bulk diffusion domain and diffusion in single crystals, using a solution of Fick's second law for diffusion from a thick film, bulk diffusion coefficients were determined at 900 and 1000°C. At the higher temperature, a solution of Fick's second law for diffusion from a thin film could be used. For the second domain in polycrystals, Le Claire's model allowed the grain boundary diffusion parameter (αD _gb δ) to be established. Nickel bulk diffusion does not vary significantly according to the microstructure of chromia. The activation energy of grain boundary diffusion is slightly greater than the activation energy of bulk diffusion, probably on account of segregation phenomena. Nickel diffusion was compared with cationic self-diffusion and with literature data on Fe and Mn heterodiffusion in the bulk and along grain boundaries. All results were analyzed in relation to the oxidation process of stainless steel.     

Ultrasonic measurements on polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7

Temperature dependent ultrasonic attenuation data of polycrystalline YBa₂Cu₃O₇ at 10 MHz show a plateau between 220 and 250 K, and slope changes at 263, 135 and 97 K. The attenuation does not display a sharp decrease at T_c as would be described in the BCS theory. Around 255 K, the sound velocity in the sample increases from its room temperature value by more than 10%.     

Thermoluminescence response in gamma and UV irradiated Dy2O3 nanophosphor

Low temperature solution combustion method was employed to synthesize Dy₂O₃ nanophosphors using two different fuels (sugar and oxalyl dihydrazine (ODH)). Powder X-ray diffraction confirm pure cubic phase and the estimated particle size from Scherrer's method in sugar and ODH fuel was found to be 26 and 78 nm, respectively, and are in close agreement with those obtained using TEM and W–H plot analysis. SEM micrographs reveal porous, irregular shaped particles with large agglomeration in both the fuels. An optical band gap of 5.24 eV and 5.46 eV was observed for Dy₂O₃ for sugar and ODH fuels, respectively. The blueshift observed in sugar fuel is attributed to the particles size effect. Thermoluminescence (TL) response of cubic Dy₂O₃ nanophosphors prepared by both fuels was examined using gamma and UV radiations. The thermoluminescence of sugar used samples shows a single glow peak at 377 °C for 1–4 kGy gamma irradiations. When dose is increased to 5 kGy, two more shouldered peaks were observed at 245 and 310 °C. However, in TL of ODH used samples, a single glow peak at 376 °C was observed. It is observed that TL intensity is found to be more in sugar used samples. In UV irradiated samples a single glow peak at 365 °C was recorded in both the fuels with a little variation in TL intensity. The trapping parameters were estimated by different methods and the results are discussed.     

Diffuse ferroelectric phase transition in Li2Pb2Dy2W2Ti4V4O30

Tungsten–bronze polycrystalline ceramic Li₂Pb₂Dy₂W₂Ti₄V₄O₃₀ was prepared by mixed-oxide method. The preparation conditions were optimized by thermogravimetry analysis and repeated firing. Room-temperature structural analysis confirms the formation of the compound in single phase (orthorhombic). Studies of dielectric parameters () of the compound with temperature at different frequencies suggest the existence of phase transition in the compound. The existence of ferroelectric property (based on dielectric anomaly) of the material was confirmed by polarization study.     

Antiferromagnetische Umwandlung von Dy2O3, Er2O3 und Yb2O3 im Temperaturbereich von 1,1 bis 4,2°K

A mutual inductance bridge (Hartshorn bridge) was used to measure the magnetic susceptibility of single crystals and polycrystals of Dy₂O₃, 1:1 diluted (Dy, Y)₂O₃, Er₂O₃ and Yb₂O₃ in the temperature region between 1,1 and 4,2°K in external fields up to 3,5 kOe. In this temperature region the yttrium diluted oxide remains paramagnetic whereas the undiluted oxides Dy₂O₃, Er₂O₃ and Yb₂O₃ become antiferromagnetic with Néel temperatures of 1,20°K, 3,40°K and 2,3°K, respectively. At the transition temperature the oxides of dysprosium and erbium show a magnetization relaxation due to bath temperature change. Relaxation times up to several minutes have been observed.     

Spin-reorientational phase transition in the basal plane in an α-Fe2O3: (Ga, Dy) crystal

A spin-reorientational phase transition in the basal plane, which was experimentally observed earlier, is explained in terms of a model in which the crystalline Fe-ion matrix is considered as a continuum, while dopant Dy ions are treated as quasi-Ising ions. The transition is established to be due to the Fe-subsystem anisotropy competing with that of the rare-earth subsystem.

External-field-controlled laser wet etching of polycrystalline Al2O3TiC

Laser-induced etching of polycrystalline Al₂O₃TiC material by tightly focused CW Ar ion laser has been investigated in both H₃PO₄ and KOH solutions with influence of an external electric field. It is found that a weak external electric field will change the ions distribution in chemical solutions and cause obvious change in etching behavior. The laser etching in a H₃PO₄ solution can be enhanced by both positive and negative biases of the substrate. While etching in a KOH solution, a positive bias can enhance the etching reaction, whereas a negative bias can suppress the etching process. It is also found that the external electric field can always enhance the mass transfer between reaction products and fresh etchant in a H₃PO₄ solution. It is revealed that the supply of H⁺ ions contributes to the etching process in a H₃PO₄ solution, while the supply of OH^– ions contributes to the etching process in a KOH solution. The electric field can be used to control the etching process to achieve fast tuning and higher accuracy.

Vortex-to-polarization phase transformation path in ferroelectric Pb(ZrTi)O3 nanoparticles

Phase transformation in finite-size ferroelectrics is of fundamental relevance for understanding collective behaviors and balance of competing interactions in low-dimensional systems. We report a first-principles effective Hamiltonian study of vortex-to-polarization transformation in Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 nanoparticles, caused by homogeneous electric fields normal to the vortex plane. The transformation is shown to (1) follow an unusual macroscopic path that is symmetry nonconforming and characterized by the occurrence of a previously unknown structure as the bridging phase, and (2) lead to the discovery of a striking collective phenomenon, revealing how ferroelectric vortex is annihilated microscopically. Interactions underlying these behaviors are discussed.     

Physical and optical properties of Li2O-MgO-B2O3 doped with Dy3+

The study on the optical properties of alkali borate glasses doped with rare earths is an interesting area of research. Dysporosium doped lithium magnesium borate glasses were prepared by melt-quenching technique with dysporosium concentration varying from 0.3 to 1.0 mol %. Physical and optical properties of Lithium Magnesium Borate doped with different concentration of Dy³⁺ were observed based on its physical parameters, emission spectra and absorption spectra. The absorption spectra of this study exhibits eight absorption bands with hypersensitive peak at 1260 nm (⁶ H _9/2). Two emitted spectra transitions were also observed at ⁴ F _9/2 → ⁶ H _15/2, ⁴ F _9/2 → ⁶ H _13/2. Lastly, important physical parameters for each concentration of dopant such as density, ions concentration, polaron radius, inter-nuclear distance, refractive index, oscillator strength and other parameters were determined.
