Cu含量对Ni_(55)Fe_(18)Ga_(27)合金结构和磁性的影响

系统研究了Cu分别替代Fe和Ni对Ni_(55)Fe_(18)Ga_(27)结构和磁性的影响.结果表明:熔炼Ni_(55)Fe_(18-x)Cu_xGa_(27 )(x=1, 2, 3, 4)虽仍为奥氏体相结构,但伴有γ相出现;居里温度随Cu含量增加而降低,这是由于Cu掺杂引起过渡金属近邻原子间相互交换作用减弱所致;交流磁化率随Cu含量增加而降低,原因在于Fe是磁性的主要贡献者,Cu替代Fe会削弱Fe的磁矩,从而导致合金磁性降低.熔炼、退火和甩带Ni_(51)Cu_4Fe_(18)Ga_(27)均存在马氏体相变.熔炼样品马氏体相变温度最高,退火和甩带样品基本相同.这一特点表明热处理方式能够改变原子排列的有序度,因此可以通过改变热处理方式来调控马氏体相变温度.     

Study of low temperature ferromagnetism,surface paramagnetism and exchange bias effect in α-Fe1.4Ga0.6O3 oxide

The compound α-Fe_1.4Ga_0.6O₃ has been prepared by mechanical alloying of α-Fe₂O₃ and β-Ga₂O₃ and subsequent heating under vacuum condition. X-ray diffraction, Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopy confirmed stabilization of the material in rhombohedral phase. A remarkable change in the magnetic ordering has been found by substitution of non-magnetic Ga atoms in α-Fe₂O₃. The ferromagnetism in α-Fe_1.4Ga_0.6O₃ is found to be more soft and enhanced in comparison to α-Fe₂O₃. The samples also exhibited features of exchange bias, low temperature surface paramagnetism, and suppression of Morin transition. Nano-sized grains and alloying process of the material affected these features up to certain extent. The results of magnetic measurements are highly interesting for designing metal doped α-Fe₂O₃ based ferromagnet for room temperature applications.     

二维应变作用下超导薄膜LiFeAs的磁性和电子性质

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算,研究了二维应变作用下LiFeAs超导薄膜的磁性结构、电子能带和态密度变化,分析了应变对其超导电性的作用.结果显示,对体系施加1%—6%的二维平面张、压应变均不改变其基态条形反铁磁性结构,费米面附近的电子态密度主要来自于Fe-3d轨道电子以及少量的As-4p电子.研究发现,与无应变情形相比,当施加压应变时,体系中Fe离子的反平行的电子自旋局域磁矩减小,薄膜反铁磁性受到抑制,费米面上电子态密度增加,超导电性来自于以反铁磁超交换耦合作用为媒介的空穴型费米面和电子型费米面间嵌套的Cooper电子对.而在张应变作用时,局域反铁磁性增强,费米面上电子态密度减小,金属性减弱,特别是张应变时费米面上空穴型能带消失, Cooper电子对出现概率显著降低,将抑制超导相变.     

Derivation of Magnetized-Wire Metrics in 5-Dimensional General Relativity

An infinite class of magnetized line-source (wire) metrics are here derived within the 5D GR (Kaluza-Klein) formalism. These metrics are cylindrically-symmetric (thus representing line-sources), and off-diagonal (thereby representing magnetized wire sources). The off-diagonality of these metrics is significant as all prior cylindrically-symmetric 5D GR metrics have been diagonal. In Kaluza-Klein theory, the vector potentials of EM are incorporated into the extended off-diagonal components of the metric. Thus, examination of such off-diagonal line source (magnetized wire) metrics is a hitherto untapped potential for 5D GR investigation.     

Metal Substitution in Layered Superconducting La2C2Br2

The effect of metal substitution in La₂C₂Br₂ by Lu (non-magnetic) and Ce (magnetic), respectively, on T_c was studied. The Lu substitution affects T_c, which decreases moderately with increasing amount of Lu. However Ce substitution affects T_c drastically, such that only 10% Ce substitution makes superconductivity disappear.
