Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of the Cr-based spinel sulfides Co_(1-x)Cu_xCr_2S_4

Crystallographic structure, magnetic properties, and magnetic entropy change of the Cr-based spinel sulfides Co_(1-x)Cu_xCr_2S_4(x = 0–0.8) have been investigated. All these compounds crystallize into the cubic spinel structure, the Cu substitution shrinks linearly the lattice constant at a ratio of 0.0223 per Cu atom in the unit cell, and enhances linearly the Curie temperature and the spontaneous magnetization at the rates of 18K and 0.33 μB/f.u. per Cu atom in the unit cell,respectively. All these compounds show a typical behavior of second order magnetic transition, and a room temperature magnetic entropy change of 2.57 J/kg·K is achieved for Co_(0.4)Cu_(0.6)Cr_2S_4.     

压力对TlPbxBaCa3Cu3O超导电性的影响

 在零电阻温度T_c0达到120 K的TlBaCa₃Cu₃O_y超导体中，掺入不同含量的Pb后，超导电性受到抑制，点阵常数减小。加压时，T_c先随压力p的增加而上升，样品1（x_Pb=0.05）的dT_c0/dp=1.7 K/GPa，样品2（x_Pb=0.5）的dT_c0/dp=2.2 K/GPa。T_c的峰值随Pb的增加而减小。加压时，对由于Pb的加入引起的Cu—O层的精细结构变化起到调制作用。
