Thermodynamic studies on the systems M–Te–O (M = Nd,Sm)

The standard Gibbs energies of formation of Nd₂TeO₆ and M₆TeO₁₂ (where M = Nd, Sm) were determined from vapour pressure measurements. The vapour pressure of TeO₂(g) was measured by employing thermogravimetry-based transpiration technique. The temperature dependence of the vapour pressure of TeO₂(g) over the mixtures Nd₂TeO₆+Nd₆TeO₁₂, generated by the incongruent vapourisation reaction, 3Nd₂TeO₆(s) → Nd₆TeO₁₂(s)+2TeO₂(g)+O₂(g), was measured in the temperature range 1,408–1,495 K. Similarly, the vapour pressure of TeO₂(g) over the mixtures M₆TeO₁₂+M₂O₃ (where M = Nd, Sm), generated by the incongruent vapourisation reaction, M₆TeO₁₂(s) → 3M₂O₃(s)+TeO₂(g)+½O₂(g), was measured in the temperature range 1,703–1,773 and 1,633–1,753 K for Nd₆TeO₁₂(s) and Sm₆TeO₁₂(s), respectively. Enthalpy increments of M₂TeO₆(s) (where M = Nd, Sm) were determined by inverse drop calorimetric method in the temperature range 573–1,273 K. The thermodynamic functions, viz., heat capacity, entropy and free energy functions, were derived from the measured values of enthalpy increments. A mean value of ?2,426.2 ± 0.6 and ?2,417.9 ± 1.1 kJ mol^?1 was obtained for $ \Updelta_{\text{f} } H_{298}^{\text{o}} $ (Nd₂TeO₆, s) and $ \Updelta_{\text{f}} H_{298}^{\text{o}} $ (Sm₂TeO₆, s), respectively, by combining the value of $ \Updelta_{\text{f}} G^{\text{o}} $ (Nd₂TeO₆, s) and $ \Updelta_{\text{f}} G^{\text{o}} $ (Sm₂TeO₆, s) derived from vapour pressure data and the free energy functions derived from the drop calorimetric data.

Spectrophotometric study of Nd,Sm, and Ho complexation in chloride solutions at 100–250°C

Complex formation in Ln chloride solutions is studied by spectrophotometric method. Electronic absorption spectra of Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, and Ho³⁺ ions are measured in the range of supersensitive transitions in solution with Cl^– ion concentration from 0 to 5 mol/l in 100–250°C temperature interval under saturated vapor pressure. The Nd and Sm spectra represent integrated curves that mainly consist of Ln³⁺ and LnCl²⁺ absorption bands (with stability constant ₁), while the Ho spectra consist of Ho³⁺ and HoCl ₂ ⁺ absorption bands (with ₂). The stability constants ₁ and ₂ calculated for each wave number by linear regression method acquire steady values and have the meaning of the best unbiased linear estimates. Thermodynamic values of log₁ for Nd, Sm, and Ho monochlorides lie in a narrow interval at constant temperature. In the case of Nd and Sm, the temperature curves of log₁ and log₂ have smaller slopes as compared to that of Ho, which is explained by the effect of a covalent component in their spectra that adds to the ionic nature of the bonds in monochloride complexes. The ₂ values increase in the order Nd相似文献   

Ternary Germanides RE 2Ge2Mg (REY, La–Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb)

Summary. The ternary rare earth metal-magnesium-germanides RE₂Ge₂Mg (RE=Y, La–Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb) were synthesized by reaction of the elements in sealed tantalum tubes in a water-cooled sample chamber of an induction furnace. The germanides were characterized through their X-ray powder patterns. The structures of Ce₂Ge₂Mg and Pr₂Ge₂Mg were refined from X-ray single crystal diffractometer data: Mo₂FeB₂ type, P4/mbm, a=750.6(1), c=442.4(1)pm, wR2=0.0378, 386 F² values, 12 variable parameters for Ce₂Ge₂Mg, and a=745.7(1), c=439.2(1)pm, wR2=0.0462, 448 F² values, 12 variable parameters for Pr₂Ge₂Mg. The lanthanum compound shows a homogeneity range La_2+xGe₂Mg_1–x. The structure of a single crystal with x=0.249(5) was refined from X-ray data: a=770.52(7), c=447.4(1)pm, wR2=0.0481, 322 F² values, 13 variable parameters. The RE₂Ge₂Mg structures can be considered as a 1:1 intergrowth of CsCl and AlB₂ related slabs of compositions REMg and REGe₂.

Recent progress in nanocrystalline Sm–Co based magnets

Sm–Co alloys are the most promising candidates for high temperature applications in advanced power systems owing to their high Curie temperature and high thermal stability of the magnetic performance. The recently developed nanocrystalline Sm–Co based magnets exhibit great potentials for magnetic performance enhancement and are expected to enlarge applications to services under extreme conditions. However, there have been few comprehensive reviews on the development of the nanocrystalline Sm–Co magnets so far. The efforts in this article are paid to review the recent progress in both experimental and modeling studies on the nanocrystalline Sm–Co magnets. Particularly, the latest advances in nanostructuring technologies, doping modulation, data-driven composition design and strategies for enhancement of magnetic properties have been introduced and evaluated. Finally, new challenges and opportunities regarding the future development of high-performance nanocrystalline Sm–Co based magnets are proposed.

Enthalpies of formation of SmCo alloys in the composition range 10–22 at. % Sm

Several intermetallic compounds exist in the composition range 10–22 at.% Sm(Sm₂Co₁₇, SmCo₅, Sm₂Co₇) but their preparation as single-phase specimens is very difficult. In order to determine the enthalpies of formation of these compounds, measurements were carried out on four alloys containing respectively 12.9 at.% Sm, 16.4 at.% Sm, 17 at.% Sm and 19.8 at.% Sm, annealed in the temperature range 950–1100 °C. The compositions of the phases present in each specimen were deduced from the characterization of the measured alloys by scanning electron microscopy, electron microanalysis and X-ray diffraction.The heats of formation were deduced from solution calorimetry in molten tin. The variation of the experimental results as a function of the samarium content enabled the enthalpy of formation of SmCo₅ ( − 40.8 kJ mol⁻¹) to be determined. The same ΔH_f value as determined for the phase quenched from 950 °C was measured for SmCo₅ kept at room temperature after very slow cooling. This result did not confirm the eutectoid decomposition previously reported for SmCo₅.The extrapolation of the measured values for the higher and lower samarium contents leads to the evaluation of the enthalpies of formation of Sm₂Co₁₇ (−152 kJ mol⁻¹) and Sm₂Co₇ (−99kJ mol⁻¹).

Electrochemical investigation of the redox couple Sm(III)/Sm(II) on a tungsten electrode in molten LiF–CaF2–SmF3

This article is focused on the electrochemical investigation (cyclic voltammetry and related studies) of the redox couple Sm(III)/Sm(II) in an eutectic LiF–CaF₂ melt containing SmF₃. The first step of reduction for Sm(III) ions involving one electron exchange in soluble/soluble Sm(III)/Sm(II) system was found on a tungsten electrode. The study of the Sm(II)/Sm(0) electrode reaction was not feasible, due to insufficient electrochemical stability of LiF–CaF₂. The first step was found reversible at temperatures 1,075 and 1,125 K up to polarization rate 1 V/s and at temperature 1,175 K the process was reversible at all sweep rates applied in this study. The diffusion coefficients (D) of Sm(II) and Sm(III) ions were determined by cyclic voltammetry, showing that D decreases when oxidation state increase, while the activation energy of diffusion (E _a) increases. The standard rate constants of charge transfer (k _s) were calculated for the redox couple Sm(III)/Sm(II) at 1,075 and 1,125 K based on the data of cyclic voltammetry.

Preparation and thermal analysis kinetics of the core–nanoshell composite materials doped with Sm

The core–nanoshell composite materials with magnetic fly-ash hollow cenosphere as core and nano SmFeO₃ as shell were synthesized by high-energy ball milling method. The magnetic fly-ash hollow cenosphere, samarium nitrate, and iron nitrate were used as raw materials. The synthesis and growth kinetics of the composite materials were investigated using the thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA) at different heating rates. The results show that the precursor of the composite materials decomposes in three steps. The apparent activation energy of each stage was calculated using the Doyle–Ozawa and Kissinger methods. The reaction order, frequency factor, and rate equations were also determined. The activation energy of the nano crystallite growth is calculated to be 16.12 kJ mol^?1 according to kinetics theory of nano crystallite growth. It can be inferred that the crystallite grows primarily by means of an interfacial reaction during the thermal treatment. The magnetic properties and microwave absorbing properties of samples were analyzed by the vibrating sample magnetometer analysis and vector network analyzer. The results indicated that the exchange coupling interaction happens between ferrite of magnetic fly-ash hollow cenosphere and nanosized ferrite coating, which cause outstanding magnetic properties. In the frequency between 1 MHz and 1 GHz, the absorbing effectiveness of the composite absorbers can achieve ?32 dB. The magnetic properties of the composite material are better than those of single phase. So it is consistent with requirements of the microwave absorbing material at the low-frequency absorption.     

Structural study of the MO–Nd2O3 system obtained by a sol–gel procedure

The aim of the present work was to prepare a binary MO–Nd₂O₃ system by the sol–gel method and to characterise a series of mixed oxides belonging to the binary MO–Nd₂O₃ system (M = alkaline earth metal = Mg, Ca, Sr) to obtain suitable materials with catalytic properties. The molar ratio between the two oxides was MO/Nd₂O₃ = 95/5. Different precursors as alkaline earth metal oxide source (MO), various starting solution compositions expressed in various molar ratios between reactants and different synthesis parameters (pH, temperature and time of reaction) have been used. The structural study by X-ray diffraction analysis was accomplished based on the X-ray 5.0 program, which has established the presence of the mixtures of crystalline polyphases. The lattice constants, the average size of the crystallites, the average lattice strains and the mass of unit cell variation have been calculated. The program also allowed the calculus of the anisotropy factor, which can give the image of the structural disorder. The surface defects are a consequence of structural changes inside of the crystalline lattice of the solid solutions and are quite important for catalytic properties. Some catalytic activity measurements have established the potential of the prepared sol–gel mixed oxides to be used in the oxidative dehydrogenation process of light alkanes (C₁C₄). Sample 3SrNd was shown to present the best catalytic activity and selectivity in olefins in propane conversion (${\text{C}}_2^{=}\&{\text{C}}_3^{=}$) compared with 4Ca-Nd and 1Mg-Nd samples, which was interpreted as due to a better solid solution formation of Nd³⁺ in SrO, favoured by the close ionic radius of Sr²⁺ and Nd³⁺, as well as by the high basicity of Sr and the presence of a greater number of point defects.     

Regularities of change in the structural parameters of EuLnCuS<Subscript>3</Subscript> (Ln = La–Nd,Sm, Gd,Ho)

Regularities of change in the structural parameters of EuLnCuS₃ (Ln = La–Nd, Sm, Gd, Ho) at an annealing temperature of 970 and 1170 K have been established. A decrease in the Ln³⁺ ionic radius results in the consecutive change of structural types (STs) for the compounds: α-EuLnCuS₃ (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd; BaLaCuS₃ ST) → β-EuLnCuS₃ (Ln = Ce, Pr, Nd; Ba2MnS₃ ST) → γ-EuLnCuS₃ (Ln = Sm, Gd, Ho; Eu₂CuS₃ST). The change of structural types for EuLnCuS₃ leads to a jump-like change in their unit cell parameters and the transformation of coordination polyhedra shaped as a one-capped trigonal prism LnS₇ (α and β phases) into an octahedron LnS₆ (γ phases). The appearance of morphotropic changes correlates with the tetrad effect.
