弱磁场对Zn分枝状电解沉积物形貌的影响

用金相显微镜和原子力显微镜分析了存在外加磁场情况下的Zn分枝状电解沉积物的微观形貌 ，并且根据实验结果提出了磁场使沉积物分枝呈现螺旋状偏转的机理.1)在沉积物晶粒的早 期生长阶段，当晶粒已经形成了择优生长方向但又非常小,仍然悬浮于电解液中时，磁流体 动力学对流作用于它上面的不平衡力使得晶粒连同它的择优生长方向向着对流下方偏转，直 到晶粒足够大，和它的前一个单晶枝晶连接在一起为止.2)当晶粒和它的前一个单晶枝晶连 接在一起以后，磁流体动力学对流的作用力已不足使它偏转.此时，如果电解液的浓度比较 高，单晶枝晶的一级分枝和二级分枝之间不存在对电解质的竞争关系，则此单晶枝晶将完全 按照初期形成的晶体择优生长方向直线生长，直到新的晶粒形核为止;如果电解液浓度较低 ，造成第一级分枝与第二级分枝的竞争关系，二级分枝总在第一级分枝的上游侧生长，使得 一级分枝向下游方向偏转.通过上述两个步骤，无论是枝晶沉积物还是分形沉积物都产生螺 旋状偏转. 关键词： 电解沉积 磁流体动力学对流 晶体择优生长方向 生长形态

The effect of peptone on the structure of electrodeposited Sn-Fe binary alloys

Sn-Fe thin films were electrodeposited by constant current deposition on copper substrates using an aqueous gluconate based electrolyte with varying concentrations of the organic additive peptone. Good quality metallic deposits were obtained with surface morphologies which varied with the concentration of peptone present in the electrolyte. The effect of peptone concentration on the deposition process was studied using electrochemical polarization curves and EDX analysis. The effect of peptone concentration on deposit structure and surface morphology was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ⁵⁷Fe and ¹¹⁹Sn conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS). It was concluded that the addition of small amounts of peptone to the electrolyte slightly increased the bath stability and led to changes in the alloy composition of the electrodeposits. It was found that increases in the peptone content increased the amount of the crystalline structure in the deposits with corresponding reductions in the amounts of amorphous structure present in the deposits.     

Optical velocity measurements of electrolytic boundary layer flows influenced by magnetic fields

Magnetic fields are applied to electrically conducting fluids in order to influence electrochemical processes through the magnetohydrodynamic effect. Various phenomena, e.g. on electrodeposited metal layers, which can be attributed to forced convections were observed. To provide information about acting forces, the laser Doppler velocity profile sensor was applied to measure the transition layer of a Lorentz force influenced flow over a backward-facing step and the velocity boundary layer during copper deposition. With this sensor, the electrolyte convection within < 500 μm of the front of an electrode is measured with a spatial resolution down to 15 μm. The interaction of buoyancy, Lorentz and magnetic field gradient forces is studied by measuring the velocities down to 10 μm in front of the cathode. Inside the concentration boundary layer, complex electrolyte convection is induced, which varies not only in time but also in its structure, depending on the forces present and their influence over time. In inhomogeneous magnetic field configurations, the magnetic field gradient force dominates the velocity boundary layer at steady state and transports electrolyte toward regions of high magnetic gradients, where maximum deposit thicknesses are found. In this way, the measurements confirm the predicted influence of the magnetic field gradient force on the structuring of copper deposits.     

Contribution of electrolyte pH and deposition potentials to the magnetic anisotropy of electrodeposited nickel films

The influence of electrolyte pH and cathode potential on the magnetic properties of single layer Nickel films electrodeposited on polycrystalline titanium substrates was studied. The films were deposited at the electrolyte pH=3.5±0.1, 2.5±0.1 and 2.1±0.1 by varying the deposition potentials (?1.2, ?1.5 and ?1.8 V vs saturated calomel electrode, SCE) applied in continuous waveform. The structural analysis by X-ray diffraction revealed that the films have face-centred cubic structure. Results of the magnetic measurements obtained by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) indicated that the magnetic properties were affected by the electrolyte pH and the cathode potentials in terms of magnetic anisotropy. At the highest pH the films deposited at the lowest potential had in-plane magnetic anisotropy. As the electrolyte pH decreased from the high (pH=3.5±0.1) to low (pH=2.5±0.1), which is aided by increasing the potentials, resulted in an almost magnetic isotropy in the films. However, isotropic magnetic behaviour was observed for the film deposited at the low pH combined with the high potential (?1.8 V vs SCE). Magnetic thickness profile of the samples obtained by VSM revealed that the isotropic films have a smoother magnetic variation across the film from one edge than the anisotropic ones. This is also verified with a microscopic observation by an optical microscope and the surface of the isotropic films is observed to be smoother than that of the anisotropic ones. Furthermore, all films were found to have planar magnetic anisotropy irrespective of the pH’s and the potentials.     

Effect of natural and magnetic convections on the structure of electrodeposited zinc-nickel alloy

The effects of a magnetic field applied in a direction parallel or perpendicular to the cathode substrate plane, during electrodeposition process of Zn-Ni alloy have been investigated by means of chronoamperometric measurements, X-ray diffraction and EDX analysis. The modification of crystal orientation of the alloy by the superimposition of a high magnetic field is discussed for alloys with a content of nickel range 6-13 at%. Whatever the phase composition obtained without magnetic field, either γ-Ni₅Zn₂₁ or a mixture of the γ and zinc phases, which depends on the concentration of Ni²⁺ in the electrolyte bath, the preferential orientation (1 0 1) of the zinc phase is always favoured with perpendicular and parallel magnetic field. There is no saturation of this effect with amplitude of B up to 8 T. A study of different geometric configurations of the cathode, which induce more or less natural convection, consolidates these results. The structural modifications of Zn-Ni alloy electrodeposits are thus probably due to a magnetohydrodynamic effect. An additional phenomenon is observed in presence of a perpendicular applied magnetic field since the (3 3 0) preferential orientation of the γ-Ni₅Zn₂₁ disappears with high values of B.     

Effect of fabrication parameters on morphological and optical properties of highly doped p-porous silicon

Porous silicon (PS) layers were fabricated by anodization of low resistive (highly doped) p-type silicon in HF/ethanol solution, by varying current density, etching time and HF concentration. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) analyses were used to investigate the physical properties and reflection spectrum was used to investigate the optical behavior of PS layers in different fabrication conditions. Vertically aligned mesoporous morphology is observed in fabricated films and with HF concentration higher than 20%. The dependence of porosity, layer thickness and rms roughness of the PS layer on current density, etching time and composition of electrolyte is also observed in obtained results. Correlation between reflectivity and fabrication parameters was also explored. Thermal oxidation was performed on some mesoporous layers that resulted in changes of surface roughness, mean height and reflectivity of the layers.     

Optical fiber modulator derivates from hollow optical fiber with suspended core

A fiber optic integrated modulation-depth-tunable modulator based on a type of hollow optical fiber with suspended core is proposed and investigated. We synthesized magnetic fluid containing superparamagnetic Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles and encapsulated it in the hollow optical fiber as the cladding layer of the suspended core by fusing the hollow optical fiber with the multimode optical fibers. The light with a wavelength of 632.8 nm is coupled in and out of the modulating element by a tapering technique. Experimental results show that the light attenuation in the system can be greatly influenced by only 2.0×10(-2) μL of the magnetic fluid under different magnetic field strengths. The saturated modulation depth is 43% when the magnetic field strength is 489 Oe. The response time of the system is <120 ms. Significantly, this work presents information for the development of all-fiber modulators, including other integrated electro-optic devices, such as optical switch, optical fiber filter, and magnetic sensors utilizing the special structure of this hollow optical fiber with suspended core and superparamagnetic magnetic fluid.     

Microstructure and magnetic property of electroless-plated CoNiFeB soft underlayer

An electroless-plated CoFeNiB film as a soft underlayer in perpendicular magnetic recording is studied by magneto-optical Kerr effect microscope, magnetic force microscopy (MFM), and transmission electron microscopy. A stray field is evidently suppressed for the anisotropic CoFeNiB film, which is under an applied field during the plating process. The lines of magnetic flux show that the Ni seed layer have no intrinsic effect on the homogenous magnetic state of the CoFeNiB layer. The interaction between a MFM tip and the CoFeNiB layer is clearly observed by electron holography indicating the excellent soft magnetic properties required by the soft underlayer.

Influence of composition of carbonyl iron particles on dynamic mechanical properties of magnetorheological elastomers

Magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) are known as smart materials. However, the magnetorheological (MR) effect of MRE is not high enough at present, which limits its engineering applications. Prior studies have shown that magneto-induced shear storage modulus and MR effect were mainly determined by the performance of the ferromagnetic particles. In this paper, MRE samples were prepared by carbonyl iron particles (CIP) of different compositions based on silicon rubber under external magnetic field. Their microstructures were observed using an optical digital microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The dynamic mechanical properties of MRE samples were measured using a modified dynamic mechanical analyzer under varying magnetic field strength and frequency. The results show that the carbon content of CIP have a greater impact on the dynamic mechanical properties of MRE. The magneto-induced shear storage modulus and MR effect can be increased by selecting CIP of low carbon content. In addition, the damping property is also significantly influenced by the carbon content of the CIP. This study is expected to provide guidance for fabrication of high performance MRE.
