Textured crystal growth of Si3N4 ceramics in high magnetic field

A systematic investigation has been made on the textured crystal growth of Si₃N₄ ceramics in high magnetic field with and without rotating of the gypsum mold during the slip casting. According to X-ray diffraction and microstructure analysis, a 10 T magnetic field is found to have a tendency to orient Si₃N₄ grains with their a- and b-axis parallel to the magnetic field. If the gypsum mold is rotated during the slip casting in the magnetic field, the crystal growth of Si₃N₄ grains has a tendency to align on a certain direction.     

Features of the magnetic properties of Co/Si/Co thin-film systems

The magnetic properties of Co/Si/Co thin-film structures grown by magnetron sputtering have been studied using magnetooptical techniques. It is established that the saturation field (H _S) of trilayers exhibits oscillations as a function of the thickness of the semiconductor (silicon) interlayer. This behavior is explained by structural features of the Co/Si/Co system and the presence of antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between magnetic layers via the silicon interlayer.

对具有高饱和磁感应强度的1J22型Fe-Co软磁合金进行高温退火实验,并研究了其质量、磁性能随退火温度及时间的变化.结果表明,合金在500℃以下退火时,质量无明显增加且磁体磁性能并无降低;而当合金在500℃以上退火后,合金增重速率增加,且磁性能明显下降.当合金在600℃退火后,合金饱和磁感应强度Bs降至2178mT,矫顽力Hc增至76.1A/m.微观结构研究表明,高温退火后合金晶粒尺寸及形貌无明显变化,而合金表面完全生成Fe3O4.合金磁性能的降低是由氧化物的增多及杂质的引入造成的.     

Mesocrystal Co3O4 nanoplatelets as high capacity anode materials for Li-ion batteries

Faceted crystals with exposed highly reactive planes have attracted intensive investigations for applications. Herein, we demonstrate a general synthetic method to prepare mesocrystal Co3O4 with predominantly exposed {111} reactive facets by the in situ thermal decomposition from Co（OH）2 nanoplatelets. The mesocrystal feature was identified by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and N2 isotherm analyses. When applied as anode material in lithium-ion batteries, mesocrystal Co3O4 nanoplatelets delivered a high specific capacity and an outstanding high rate performance. The superior electrochemical performance should be ascribed to the predominantly exposed {111} active facets and highly accessible surfaces. This synthetic strategy could be extended to prepare other mesocrystal functional nanomaterials.

衬底温度对脉冲激光沉积在Si衬底上Zn0.95Co0.05O薄膜的影响

在不同的衬底温度下在n型Si(111)衬底上采用脉冲激光沉积的方法生长了(002)择优取向的具有室温铁磁性的Zn0.95Co0.05O薄膜。X射线衍射显示所生长的薄膜呈六方纤锌矿结构。X射线光电子能谱测试表明薄膜中出现的室温铁磁性不是由于Co团簇产生的。发现薄膜生长过程中产生的间隙锌、氧空位以及晶格缺陷对铁磁性有显著的影响。通过改变衬底温度可以控制薄膜中间隙锌、氧空位及晶格缺陷的数量,薄膜的铁磁性同时也可以被明显地改变,这是缺陷与薄膜的室温铁磁性相关的直接证据。     

Effect of annealing on magnetic properties and silicide formation at Co/Si interface

The interaction of Co (30 nm) thin films on Si (100) substrate in UHV using solid state mixing technique has been studied. Cobalt was deposited on silicon substrate using electron beam evaporation at a vacuum of 4×10^?8 Torr having a deposition rate of about 0·1 Å/s. Reactivity at Co/Si interface is important for the understanding of silicide formation in thin film system. In the present paper, cobalt silicide films were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) in terms of the surface and interface morphologies and depth profile, respectively. The roughness of the samples was found to increase up to temperature, 300°C and then decreased with further rise in temperature, which was due to the formation of crystalline CoSi₂ phase. The effect of mixing on magnetic properties such as coercivity, remanence etc at interface has been studied using magneto optic Kerr effect (MOKE) techniques at different temperatures. The value of coercivity of pristine sample and 300°C annealed sample was found to be 66 Oe and 40 Oe, respectively, while at high temperature i.e. 748°C, the hysteresis disappears which indicates the formation of CoSi₂ compound.     

Controlled growth of Co nanofilms on Si(100) by ion-beam deposition

This paper examines the effect of ion-beam sputtering conditions on the nucleation of Co nanofilms on Si(100). The argon ion energy is shown to play a key role in determining the sputtering process. Sputtering a cobalt target with argon ions less than 0.8 keV in energy produces granular layers. The cobalt layers grown at Ar⁺ ion energies above 1.2 keV are continuous even in the nucleation stage. The layers 1.2 to 2 nm in thickness have high resistivity and are comparable in magnetic properties to bulk material. The high-energy component of the total flux of cobalt atoms ejected from the target plays an important role in the initial stages of deposition, especially at argon ion energies from 1.2 to 2.2 keV. In the nucleation stage, the cobalt atoms have a finite penetration depth in the silicon substrate, where they give up energy which facilitates the formation of a continuous layer in the initial stage of the process.

The cobalt layers grown at argon ion energies above 1.2 keV are continuous even in the nucleation stage. The layers 1.2 to 2 nm in thickness have high resistivity and are comparable in magnetic properties to bulk material. The high-energy component of the total flux of cobalt atoms ejected from the target plays an important role in the initial stages of deposition, especially at argon ion energies from 1.2 to 2.2 keV.

Solvothermal synthesis and magnetic properties of magnetite nanoplatelets

Nanostructured magnetite plates were synthesized by a simple solvothermal route where ethylenediamine was used as the solvent and reducing agent. The morphology and structure of the as-prepared platelets were characterized using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the products are magnetite crystals with plate like morphology whose thickness is estimated to be 20 nm. Magnetic measurements at 300 K gave the saturation magnetization and the coercive field of nanostructured magnetite 87.4 emu/g and 178 Oe, respectively, which are higher than those of cubic nanoparticles, due to the higher shape anisotropy of magnetite nanoplatelets.     

Tunable order in colloids of hard magnetic hexaferrite nanoplatelets

Structural ordering in the concentrated magnetic colloids containing 50×5 nm hard magnetic disc-like SrFe₁₂O₁₉ nanoparticles was investigated by cryogenic scanning electron microscopy,optical microscopy,magnetic measurements,and small-angle X-ray scattering.It was revealed that macroscopically homogeneous magnetic liquid consists of dynamic threads of stacked nanoparticles.The threads align into quasiperiodic arrays with the distances between individual threads of a few micrometers.They also can form pseudodomain structures with -90°domain boundaries realized through T-type thread interconnects.The effects of magnetic attraction and electrostatic repulsion on the equilibrium interplatelet distance in the threads were studied.It was demonstrated that this distance can be tuned by the control of the particles charge and electric double layer screening from Stern layer thickness(-1 nm)to tens of nanometers.It was shown that the permanent magnetic field is not able to cause any structural changes in the ordered magnetic liquid phase,while alternating field draws particles apart by their vibrations.External variation of interparticle distance up to 6%was achieved using an alternating magnetic field of low intensity.Experimental data were complemented by the theoretical models of screened electrostatic interactions between spherical and platelike magnetic particles.The last model provides good predictive power and correlates with the experimental data.The stabilization energy of the condensed phase in the order of 1-10 kBT was derived from the model.An approach allows controlling of an equilibrium interparticle distance and interparticle distance distribution by adjusting the magnetization and surface charge of the particles as well as the ionic strength of the solvent.     

Fabricating Co doped ZnO nanocrystallines by hydrothermal method with high pulsed magnetic field

Co-doped ZnO nanocrystallines were fabricated by hydrothermal method with high pulsed magnetic field. As a new preparation method, more refined grains and diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) with better performance could be obtained by the hydrothermal synthesis process under pulsed magnetic field. The samples were tested by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and Raman scattering spectrum. The results show that the sample prepared under pulsed magnetic field has wurtzite structure with tiny crystal lattices changes. Doping Co ions into ZnO crystal lattice is also improved. Curie temperature of 2% Co doped ZnO nanocrystallines synthesized with 4T pulsed magnetic field is higher than that for without magnetic field process, and very close to the room temperature.     

Fe-Cr-Co合金高温磁稳定性研究

对Fe-Cr-Co合金在高温条件下的磁稳定性进行了研究.稳定性试验结果表明,(BH)max的不可逆变化率为Br和Hc的2～5倍,材料的磁性能,特别是(BH)max在开始阶段有一定的波动,随时间延长波动逐渐减小,经过稳定化处理的试样其稳定性有一定的改善.以单畴粒子理论为基础,讨论了各因素对磁性能的影响.透射电镜观察表明,合金的显微组织结构在稳定性试验前后没有发生明显的变化.穆斯堡尔谱分析发现,经过高温稳定性试验后,合金中的铁磁性成分不仅强度有所增大,而且所占比例也有提高,同时顺磁相强度减小、所占比例降低,造成了合金磁性能的提高;并分析认为,合金磁性能的变化是由于合金中Cr原子的继续扩散和分布引起α1和α2两相成分变化造成的.     

Morphological modification of β-FeSi2 on Si(111) by high temperature growth and post-thermal annealing

β-FeSi₂ crystals have been grown on Si(111) substrates, and morphological modification of the β-FeSi₂/Si(111) by high temperature growth and post-thermal annealing was investigated. The morphological feature of the β-FeSi₂ crystals significantly depends on the growth conditions, especially, substrate temperature during growth. The β-FeSi₂ continuous layers with relatively smooth surfaces were grown at the low substrate temperatures of 650-700 °C with exposure of the grown layers to Sb flux during the growth. On the other hand, nano-scaled islands have been grown at the higher substrate temperature of 850 °C. The structural property, interfacial morphology and growth evolution of the β-FeSi₂ islands were examined, and compared with those for the layers grown at a lower substrate temperature. In addition, the morphological evolution of the β-FeSi₂/Si layers by post-thermal annealing was examined, and it was found that the interfacial smoothness between the β-FeSi₂ layers and the Si(111) substrates was improved by the post-thermal annealing on condition that a thin SiO_x amorphous overlayer should be formed on the β-FeSi₂ layer during the post-thermal annealing. The mechanisms of the morphological modification at the β-FeSi₂/Si(111) interface by the post-thermal annealing will also be discussed.

Flexible magnetic copolymer films with high decomposition temperature and stable dielectric properties

Two novel kinds of flexible magnetic copolymer films were prepared via copolymerization using magnetic ferrocenyl prepolymer (MFP) and poly(arylene ether nitrile)s with bisphthalonitrile functional group. Two types of poly(arylene ether nitrile)s with bisphthalonitrile functional group were used and two series of flexible magnetic copolymer film with different structure were obtained. The magnetic properties of copolymer films indicated that the films were soft magnetic. Moreover, it was also concluded that the magnetic properties of magnetic films prepared from phthalonitrile terminated poly(arylene ether nitrile)s were higher than that of magnetic films prepared from poly(arylene ether nitrile)s with pendant phthalonitriles at the same content of MFP. The results of thermogravimetry showed that the all of the copolymer films possessed high decomposition temperature. Like the magnetism, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of films obtained from phthalonitrile terminated poly(arylene ether nitrile)s were also higher than that of films obtained from poly(arylene ether nitrile)s with pendant phthalonitriles.
