纳米复合永磁Pr9Fe74Co12B5Snx(x=0, 0.5)的磁化行为与磁黏滞性

用熔体快淬法制备了纳米复合永磁样品Pr₉Fe₇₄Co₁₂B₅ 与Pr₉Fe₇₄Co₁₂B₅Sn_0.5，分析了样品的起始磁化、反磁化过程，测得样品的总磁化率、可逆磁化率以及样品的磁黏滞性.结果表明，两样品在室温下均表现为单一硬磁相磁化行为，在低温下表现为双相行为，且由于添加Sn后使晶粒均匀化从而导致样品低温下的双相行为更加明显.添加Sn后引起样品中软磁相含量和软磁相晶粒尺寸的增加，使磁化反转中可逆磁化部分增多，且使反磁化形核场降低.磁黏滞性研究表明，热激活体积与软磁相晶粒的大小有关. 关键词： 纳米复合永磁 磁化反转 磁粘滞

粉末状态对激光立体成形Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5块体非晶合金晶化行为的影响

基于金属熔体结构的遗传性, 激光熔池的快速熔凝导致粉末的晶化状态可能会对最终成形件的晶化产生重要影响, 理清其影响规律对于制备大块非晶合金具有重要意义. 本文选取等离子旋转电极法所制粉末和1000 K退火态粉末为沉积材料, 采用激光立体成形技术沉积Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅块体非晶合金, 考察了粉末中已有晶化相对熔池及热影响区晶化行为的影响. 结果发现, 原始粉末组织由非晶相及粗大的Al₅Ni₃Zr₂相组成; 当激光线能量较低时, 相应熔覆层的熔池和热影响区皆含有Al₅Ni₃Zr₂相; 随着线能量的提高, 熔池中Al₅Ni₃Zr₂相消失, 保持了非晶态, 但热影响区晶化加重, 并有大量Al₅Ni₃Zr₂相析出; 当采用退火态粉末时, 即使线能量较小, 相应熔覆层仍主要由非晶构成, 几乎无Al₅Ni₃Zr₂相析出. 这是由于原始粉末在退火时其微观结构发生重排, 与Al₅Ni₃Zr₂相关的原子短程/中程有序结构减少, 导致已沉积层非晶区的热稳定性提高, 不利于Al₅Ni₃Zr₂相析出. 可见, 提高线能量将会加剧非晶沉积体的晶化, 而粉末中的Al₅Ni₃Zr₂团簇相状态对Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅合金沉积层的晶化有重要影响.

单晶和孪晶的Zn0.96Co0.04O稀磁半导体薄膜的制备与研究

采用分子束外延技术分别在不同晶面的蓝宝石（sapphire Al₂O₃）基片上制备了沿c轴生长的Zn_0.96Co_0.04O稀磁半导体薄膜.发现在Al₂O₃（1120）晶面（a面）上薄膜是二维层状外延生长的高质量单晶薄膜,而在Al₂O₃（0001）晶面（c面）上薄膜却具有有趣的孪晶结构,部分区域相互之间有一个30°的面内转动来减少和基片之间的失配度.在孪晶薄膜中存在的这些相互旋转形成的区域界面上会引起载流子强烈的散射作用,导致载流子迁移率的下降和平均自由程的缩短.利用X射线吸收精细结构技术证明了无论单晶还是孪晶的Zn_0.96Co_0.04O薄膜中所有的Co都以+2价替代进入了ZnO的晶格,而没有形成任何杂相.而对其磁性研究发现,孪晶的薄膜样品比高质量的单晶薄膜样品具有大得多的饱和磁矩.这充分说明孪晶薄膜中的铁磁性来源与缺陷有关.我们还对铁磁性耦合机制进行了探讨. 关键词： Co掺杂ZnO 稀磁半导体 X射线吸收精细结构 单晶和孪晶薄膜     

Decagonal quasicrystal in the Al–Pd–Mn system

Abstract

A stable decagonal quasicrystal in Al₇₀Pd_30?xMn_x alloys (x = 10–20) was examined by electron diffraction and high-resolution electron microscopy. The decagonal quasicrystalline grains are formed with definite crystallographic relationships to adjacent icosahedral and Al₃Mn crystalline grains. The structure of the decagonal phase, which is formed as the main phase at near Al₇₀Pd₁₀Mn₂₀ composition, is a mixture of decagonal quasicrystalline regions with some linear phason strain and microcrystalline regions. The structures of both regions may be interpreted in terms of quasiperiodic and periodic tilings, constructed with two types of bond lengths, S (about 2 nm) and L (= τ · S, where τ is the Golden ratio), of the same atom cluster with decagonal symmetry.     

A study on the formation and stability of quasicrystal in Al4Mn and Al6Cr

Abstract

The condition of the formation of quasicrystal in Al₄Mn and Al₆Cr under high static pressure has been investigated for the first time. I-phase and T-phase have been observed in electron diffraction experiment. The structures of Al₄Mn quenched at about 100 K/s are different under various pressure from 0.95GPa to 4.45GPa. The phase transition from I- and T-phase to crystal phase has also been investigated.     

High-temperature surface oxidation of the decagonal AlCoNi quasicrystal

The interaction of oxygen with the 10-fold-symmetry surface of the decagonal Al_72.9Co_16.7Ni_10.4 quasicrystal at high temperatures was investigated by low-energy-electron diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy. The results are consistent with a well-ordered aluminum-oxide layer possessing a hexagonal antiphase domain structure with a limited lateral size of about 35 Å. We claim that the separation distances of the domain boundaries, separating domains of equal orientation, are primarily a consequence of the preferential cluster nucleation on decagonal Al-Co-Ni. The domains are azimuthally oriented along one direction of the two sets of five twofold-symmetry axes lying on the decagonal surface in accordance with the local symmetry of the quasicrystal surface, while the size of the domains can be explained in terms of self-size-selecting arguments.     

The study of Al3(Mn,Pd) crystal and Al–Mn–Pd decagonal quasicrystal by spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission microscopy and atomic-resolution energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy

An Al₃Mn-type Al₃(Mn, Pd) crystal and an Al–Mn–Pd decagonal quasicrystal (DQC) in an Al₇₀Mn₂₀Pd₁₀ alloy are studied using a spherical aberration (Cs)-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) with high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) and annular bright-field (ABF) techniques, together with atomic-resolution energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Mn and Pd atomic positions in the Al₃(Mn, Pd) structure projected along the b-axis (pseudo-tenfold rotational axis) are represented by separate bright dots in observed HAADF-STEM images. Besides, Al as well as Mn and Pd atomic positions are represented as dark dots in ABF-STEM images. Most Mn and Pd atomic positions in the Al₃(Mn, Pd) structure can be observed on atomic-resolution EDS maps. On the basis of the good correlation between the STEM images and the EDS maps, and also considering the structure of the Al₃(Mn, Pd) crystal, which was determined by X-ray diffraction using a single crystal, observed HAADF and ABF-STEM images of the Al–Mn–Pd DQC have been interpreted. Pd and Mn atomic positions in the Al–Mn–Pd DQC can be detected on the observed EDS maps. It can be seen that Pd is enriched around the centre of the columnar clusters, having a decagonal section with 2 nm in diameter. It can therefore be concluded that Pd plays an important role in the stabilization of the decagonal clusters, which form the Al–Mn–Pd DQC structure.     

Low-energy lattice excitations in the decagonal Al-Ni-Fe and icosahedral Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals and the (Al,Si)-Cu-Fe cubic phase

The specific heat of decagonal Al_71.3Ni_24.0Fe_4.7 and icosahedral Al₆₂Cu_25.5Fe_12.5 quasicrystals and the Al_55.0Si_7.0Cu_25.5Fe_12.5 cubic phase approximating the structure of the icosahedral alloy has been studied in the temperature range 4.2–40.0 K. All the three compounds exhibit low coefficients of the electronic heat capacity and pronounced deviations of the low-temperature lattice heat capacity from a cubic temperature law in the range 5–10 K. The results obtained by the thermodynamic method and inelastic neutron scattering have been compared and analyzed. It has been established that, at energies ɛ < 14 meV, the spectral density of thermal vibrations in the icosahedral quasicrystal is substantially higher than those in the cubic approximant and in decagonal quasicrystal.     

Atomic dynamics of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>-AlNiFe decagonal quasicrystal

The atomic dynamics of an Al_71.3Ni₂₄Fe_4.7 decagonal quasicrystal has been investigated using the isotopic contrast method for inelastic neutron scattering. The partial vibrational spectra of the Ni, Fe, and Al atoms and the spectrum of the thermal vibrations of the alloy have been reconstructed directly from the experimental data without any model assumptions. The cutoff energies and the positions of the main features of the spectra have been determined. It has been revealed that the average binding energy of the nickel atoms in the quasicrystal under investigation is lower than that of the iron atoms and the vibrational spectrum of the aluminum atoms is noticeably harder than the spectrum of the pure metal. The results obtained for the d-AlNiFe decagonal quasicrystal have been compared with the previously published data for an i-AlCuFe icosahedral quasicrystal.     

Solidification of tin on quasicrystalline surfaces

A two-phase alloy of β-Sn and Al₆₃Cu₂₅Fe₁₂ quasicrystal produced by melt-spinning was annealed and aged to form various microstructures of tin in a quasicrystalline (QC) or microcrystalline (MC) matrix. The morphology and structure of the interfaces was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and was related to melting and solidification behavior of tin studied by differential scanning calorimetry. In a MC matrix the tin phase occurred as nanoparticles and solidified with an undercooling of about 35°C. In a QC matrix, tin formed intergranular layers on faceted matrix grains. Tin showed multiple solidification peaks in undercooling ranging from 8°C to 43°C, indicating several distinct nucleation sites which compete with each other and are selected kinetically. The interfacial energy (depending on the structural state of the matrix) had a more dominating effect on the solidification of tin than the size, shape and the distribution of the tin particles. It was also concluded that solidification of tin is easier on quasicrystalline surfaces than on aluminum.     

Decagonal quasicrystals

Following the discovery of two dimensional quasicrystals in rapidly solidified Al-Mn alloys by us and L. Bendersky in 1985, a number of fascinating studies has been conducted to unravel the atomic configuration of quasicrystals with decagonal symmetry. A comprehensive mapping of the reciprocal space of decagonal quasicrystals is now available. The interpretation of the diffraction patterns brings out the comparative advantages of various indexing schemes. In addition, the nature of the variable periodicity can be addressed as a form of polytypism. The relation between decagonal quasicrystals and their crystalline homologues will be explored with emphasis on Al₆₀Mn₁₁Ni₄ and ‘Al₃Mn’. It will also be shown that decagonal quasicrystals are closely related to icosahedral quasicrystals, icosahedral twins and vacancy ordered phases.
