Enhanced magnetoresistance through magnetic-field-induced phase transition in Ni2MnGa co-doped with Co and Mn

We report the observation of giant negative magnetoresistance up to −46% at 60 kOe magnetic field in Ni_1.68Co_0.32Mn_1.20Ga_0.80 alloy, which is about 5 times larger than that reported in Ni-Mn-Ga alloys. The significant change in resistivity during martensitic transformation originates from the altered electronic structure due to the change of magnetic state. The magnetic-field-induced phase transition from partially antiferromagnetic martensite to ferromagnetic austenite is responsible for the enhanced magnetoresistance.     

Fourfold in-plane magnetic anisotropy in epitaxial Fe(1 1 0)/Cu(0 0 1) and Fe(1 1 0)/Ni(0 0 1) bilayers

Epitaxial Fe(1 1 0) films with thicknesses of 100-800 nm on Cu(0 0 1) and Ni(0 0 1) buffer layers grown on MgO(0 0 1) substrates have been fabricated. These films contain Fe(1 1 0) crystallites which are in the Pitsch orientation relationship. Magnetization and the fourfold in-plane magnetic anisotropy constants of these films have been determined by torque measurements. All the samples under study are characterized by a fourfold magnetic anisotropy with easy axes parallel to the [1 0 0] and [0 1 0] directions of Cu(0 0 1) and Ni(0 0 1) layers. The measured values of the constant for Fe(1 1 0)/Cu(0 0 1) are found to depend on deposition temperature; a maximum value of (2.5±0.1)×10⁵ erg/cm³ is reached after annealing at 600 °С. The in-plane torque measurements on Fe(1 1 0)/Ni(0 0 1) bilayers obtained at 300 °С, on the other hand, exhibit a constant value of (2.7±0.1)×10⁵ erg/cm³. Assuming an exchange interaction between the Fe(1 1 0) crystallites, which are in the Pitsch orientation relationship, the fourfold in-plane magnetic anisotropy has been calculated as 2.8×10⁵ erg/cm³. The deviations of the experimental values from the predicted one may be explained by the formation of a polycrystalline phase within the Fe(1 1 0) layer and a partial disorientation of the epitaxial crystallites.     

Stress and magnetic field-dependent Young's modulus in single crystal iron-gallium alloys

The variability in Young's modulus of single crystal iron-gallium (Galfenol) alloys having 16, 17.5, 19, 24.7 and 29 at% gallium is investigated using experiments and simulations. Some of these alloys showed more than 60% change in Young's modulus along the 〈1 0 0〉 directions on varying their magnetization and stress states compared to their modulus at magnetic saturation. A function, ΔE(σ,H), is defined such that the variability of modulus is bound between 0% and 100%. The observations are related to the inherent magnetomechanical coupling in the material. An energy-based non-linear constitutive model is used to predict the variable modulus in Galfenol as a continuous function of stress and magnetic field. Model predictions showed good correlation with experimental results.     

Monte Carlo investigation of the correlation between magnetic and chemical ordering in NiFe alloys

The Ni_xFe_1−x alloys close to the stoichiometric Ni₃Fe composition are modeled by means of Monte Carlo simulations. To describe the atomic and magnetic configurations, the Ising and Heisenberg models with nearest-neighbor interactions have been used, respectively. The pairwise interactions have been fitted to the experimentally measured Curie and Kurnakov temperatures, the Fe-Fe magnetic exchange interaction has been considered antiferromagnetic. The mutual influence of the magnetic and chemical ordering is evidenced and a good agreement with the phase diagram is obtained. Our numerical results show that the magnetic order is able to increase the Kurnakov temperature and, reciprocally, the chemical order is responsible for a rise in the Curie temperature. Also, the influence of the applied magnetic field on the chemical order is investigated and an increase of the Kurnakov temperature with the external field is observed.     

Microstructure and magnetic properties of Fe72.5Cu1M2V2Si13.5B9 (M=Nb, Mo, (NbMo), (MoW)) nanocrystalline alloys

The microstructure and magnetic properties of Finemet-type Fe_72.5Cu₁M₂V₂Si_13.5B₉ (M=Nb, Mo, (NbMo), (MoW)) alloys have been systematically studied. Results show that the nanocrystalline alloy with M=NbMo has the smallest grain size of about 8 nm. The order of the effect of Nb, Mo and W additions in decreasing the α-Fe grain size in nanocrystalline alloys is Nb>Mo>W. The best DC soft magnetic properties are obtained in the alloy with M=Nb. In the case of AC soft magnetic properties, the Nb alloy also exhibits a very low core loss comparing with typical Finemet alloy. Therefore, the Nb alloy is suitable for use as a transformer core material. In addition, it is shown that a narrow grain size distribution and a uniform dispersion of α-Fe grains in the amorphous matrix are very crucial for the development of new Finemet-type nanocrystalline alloys with good soft magnetic properties.
