The sputtering of high Tc A15 Nb3Si and V3Ge

We report some initial results on the preparation of A15 Nb₃Si and V₃Ge using a getter sputtering technique. Under sufficiently clean conditions we observe an increase in the superconducting transition temperature. DC onsets in excess of 14 and 11 K have been observed for Nb₃Si and V₃Ge respectively. In each case a positive identification of the A15 phase has been made.

本文中研究了C-15结构V₂Hf_1-xNb_x,V₂Zr_1-xNb_x和V₂Hf_0.5Zr_0.5-xNb_x系列的超导转变温度T_c与Nb合量x的关系,发现V₂Zr,V₂Hf加Nb后与V₂Hf_0.5Zr_0.5加Nb后性能显著不同。测定了V₂Zr,V₂Hf和V₂Hf_0.5Zr_0.5的X射线光电子能谱。结果表明,当Hf原子和Zr原子共存于AB₂化合物的A位上时,发生了一种增强原子间相互作用的新的电荷转移。这个事实支持由角动量分波表象能带论方法分析电声耦合超导原理的结果对四元V₂(HfZrNb)系列的超导行为提出的一种可能解释:4d-5d原子配位可能有助于提高4d导带的杂化程度,从而有利于提高超导T_c。 关键词：     

Synthesis,structures and magnetic properties of Pr-lean Pr2Fe14B/Fe3B nanocomposite alloys

The lean rare-earth Pr_4.5Fe_77−xTi_xB_18.5 (x=0, 1, 4, 5) nanocomposite alloys were prepared by melt spinning method and subsequent thermal annealing. The effect of Ti content and annealing temperature on the magnetic properties and the microstructure of these magnets were investigated. The enhancing coercivity H_c from 211.4 to 338.2 kA/m has been observed at the optimal annealing temperature of 700 °C by the addition of 5 at% Ti in Pr₂Fe₁₄B/Fe₃B alloys. It was also found that increasing Ti content leads to marked grain refinement in the annealed alloys, resulting in strong exchange-coupling interaction between the hard and the soft phases in these ribbons. In addition, the magnetization reversal behaviors of Pr₂Fe₁₄B/Fe₃B nanocomposites were discussed in detail.     

Effect of Mn on the magnetic properties of Fe3B/Nd2Fe14B nanocomposites

The magnetic properties of Nd_4.5Fe_77−xMn_xB_18.5 (x=0, 1 and 2) nanocomposites prepared by the crystallization of amorphous precursors were investigated. Addition of Mn is found to decrease the crystallization temperature of the amorphous ribbons. The intrinsic coercivity _iH_c and maximum energy product (BH)_max increase from 2.6 kOe and 9.1 MGOe for x=0 to 3.1 kOe and 10.3 MGOe for x=1, respectively, and the remanence ratio M_r/M_s increases from 0.70 to 0.72. The effect of Mn on Curie temperature T_C and the thermal stability of M_r and _iH_c were also studied. ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra have been recorded for x=0, 1 and 2 ribbons at room temperature and site preference of the Mn atoms in Fe₃B and Nd₂Fe₁₄B phases is discussed using the Mössbauer spectroscopy.     

3d-4f magnetic interactions and crystalline electric field in the R2Fe14B compounds : Magnetization measurements and Mössbauer study of Gd2Fe14B

Magnetization measurements on Gd₂Fe₁₄B single crystals show that the Fe anisotropy favors the c-axis of the tetragonal structure, as in Y₂Fe₁₄B. The exchange interactions between Gd and Fe spins are deduced from the temperature dependence of the Gd magnetization. A Mössbauer study with¹⁵⁵Gd shows the main axis of the electric field gradient to have different directions at the two rare-earth sites. Scaling the values obtained in Gd₂Fe₁₄ B yields values of exchange interactions between Nd and Fe spins (～ 400 K) and of 2^nd order crystal-field parameters acting on Nd ions (～ 300 K) in isomorphous Nd₂Fe₁₄B.     

The hypernucleus 12ΛB and the decay process 12ΛB → π− + 3α

The characteristics of the decay sequences ${}^{12}{}_{\mathrm{\Lambda }}\text{B}\text{→ π}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{+}{}^{12}\text{C}{}^1\text{,}{}^{12}\text{C}{}^1\text{→ 3α}$ are discussed for the two sharp levels of ¹²C¹ at excitation energies of 12.7 MeV (J_f = 1⁺, T = 0) and 16.11 MeV (J_f = 2⁺, T = 1), which are observed prominently in this decay process. The transition rates for these processes and the angular correlations in the final four-particle state αααπ^? are discussed quantitatively, using the intermediate coupling model for both the ¹²_ΛB and ¹²C¹ systems, as a function of the ¹²_ΛB spin J. Three distinct tests are proposed, which are sensitive to the spin J for ground-state ¹²_ΛB, and which have been used by the European K^? Collaboration to deduce that J = 1 for ¹²_ΛB. The implications of this conclusion for the ΛN and ΛNN interactions are briefly discussed.     

Magnetic properties of ternary rare-earth compounds of the type R2Fe14B

Ternary tetragonal compounds of the composition R₂Fe₁₄B were observed for R = Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu. The lattice constants and the X-ray density of these compounds were determined. Also determined were the magnetic properties, comprising the temperature dependence of the magnetization in the range 4.2–700 K and the field dependence of the magnetization at 4.2 K in fields up to 20 T. These latter measurements were made in two mutually perpendicular directions, making it possible to determine the anisotropy fields. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy was found to consist of contributions due to the Fe and rare-earth sublattice, respectively.     

Spin reorientation and magnetization anomaly in Er2Fe14B and Tm2Fe14B

Static magnetic measurements have been carried out on single crystals of Er₂Fe₁₄B and Tm₂Fe₁₄B in a temperature range between 77 and 590 K. Spin reorientation phenomena have been found in both compounds slightly above room temperature. In Er₂Fe₁₄B, the easy direction of magnetization changes from [100] to [001] at 316 K as temperature increases, and Tm₂Fe₁₄B from [100] to [001] at 310 K. Anomalously large anisotropy in the saturation magnetization has been detected around the spin reorientation temperature.     

X-ray spectroscopic studies of electronic structure of the A15 compounds in the system Nb3(Sn-Al)

The present paper is concerned with the X-ray spectrum study of binary niobium A15 compounds and of solid solution based on these compounds. In the case of Nb₃Al the additional maximum of intensity in the long-wave length part of spectrum was observed. The results of the Al Kα-line shift and NbLβ₂-lines study lead to the conclusion that the valence electron Al to Nb₃Al, the decrease being still greater in the Nb₃(Al-Sn) alloys. The valence electrons of tin are largely localized on the “parent” atom.

Temperature dependence of the broad A1 (TO) phonon Raman linewidth in BaTiO3

The temperature dependence of the A₁ (TO) broad phonon linewidth is discussed. It is shown that it can adequately be accounted for by assuming a simple model where the Ti ions are sitting off the center of the unit cell and tunneling through a double well in the direction of the ferroelectric axis.

The flux jumps in high TcBi1.7Pb0.3Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy bulk superconductor

There was giant flux jumps in high Tc Bi_1.7Pb_0.3Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_y bulk superconductor. The relaxation time, τ, decreased with both the increase of magnetic field and the rise of temperature. The maximum τ was about 40 min.. The average-dM/dt increased with both the increase of magnetic field and the rise of temperature. The minimum average-dM/dt was about 4.1×10⁻²G/min.. The flux jump weakened with time. It was dependent on the decrease of gradient of magnetic flux density dn/dx in the sample.     

Spin reorientation in Tm2Fe14B

The magnetic structures of Tm₂Fe₁₄B above and below its spin reorientation temperature (approx. 316 K) have been determined from high resolution neutron powder diffraction measurements.Within experimental accuracy all magnetic moments lie in the basal plane at 294 K and along the c-axis at 340 K. The Tm and Fe moments are antiparallel.     

Heat capacity of EuMnO3 and Eu0.7A0.3MnO3 (A=Ca,Sr) compounds

We carried out the heat capacity calculation of the magnetoresistance compounds EuMnO₃ and Eu_0.7A_0.3MnO₃ (where A=Ca and Sr) as a function of temperature from 5 to 100 K, using the Rigid Ion Model (RIM). The results on heat capacity for EuMnO₃ and Eu_0.7A_0.3MnO₃ (A=Ca and Sr) obtained by us are in good agreement with the measured values. Although strong electron–phonon interactions are present in these compounds but the lattice part of the specific heat also deserves proper attention. The parent compound EuMnO₃ exhibits two magnetic transitions at 35 and 47 K due to weak ferromagnetic (FM) component and antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering. In addition, we have reported cohesive energy (φ), molecular force constant (f), compressibility (β), Restrahalen frequency (υ₀), Debye temperature (θ_D) and Gruneisen parameter (γ) in the temperature range 5 K?T?100 K.     

Magnetic properties of the Pr1−xGdxCo4B compounds

In this work, we have investigated the effect of the substitution of Gd for Pr on the crystal structure and magnetic properties of the Pr_1−xGd_xCo₄B compounds for 0?x?1 using X-ray powder diffraction, magnetic measurements, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). These compounds have hexagonal CeCo₄B-type structure with the space group P6/mmm. The substitution of Gd for Pr leads to a decrease of the unit-cell parameters a and the unit-cell volume V, while the unit-cell parameter c increases slightly. Magnetic measurements indicate that all samples are ordered magnetically below room temperature. The Curie temperatures determined by DSC technique increase as Pr is substituted by Gd. The saturation magnetization at 5 K decreases upon Gd substitution up to x=0.6, and then increases again.

Size-dependent spin-reorientation transition in Nd2Fe14B nanoparticles

It is well known that some ferromagnetic properties like Curie temperature are size dependent. In this Letter we will report that the spin-reorientation temperature of Nd₂Fe₁₄B material is also size dependent. By using a surfactant-assisted ball milling technique, Nd₂Fe₁₄B nanoparticles with different size about 6, 20 and 300 nm were successfully obtained. Spin-reorientation transition temperature of the NdFeB nanoparticles was then determined by measuring the temperature dependence of DC and AC magnetic susceptibility. It was revealed that the spin-reorientation transition temperature (Tsr) of the nanoparticles is strongly size dependent. Tsr of the 300 nm particles is lower than that of the bulk raw material while the Tsr of the 20 nm particles is significantly lower than that for the 300 nm particles. The physics behind this size dependence is discussed.
