Electronic structure and pressure dependence of magnetic properties of Fe/N/Fe multi-layers

The electronic structure and magnetic properties of the Fe/N/Fe multi-layers were obtained by means of self-consistent band structure calculations employing the Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital method (LMTO). Calculations were carried out for several lattice parameters in order to obtain ground-state properties such as equilibrium lattice parameters and the critical pressure of these multi-layers. The analysis of the density of states at equilibrium volume gives a good understanding of the electronic and magnetic properties of these multi-layers, showing remarkable differences from the bulk properties of iron-based nitrides. Ferromagnetic calculations show that the Fe/N/Fe multi-layers, at equilibrium volume, have a ferrimagnetic order of 1.45 μ_B and −0.22 μ_B as the magnetic moments at the two non-equivalent iron sites. At nitrogen sites a moment magnetic of −0.16 μ_B was found, which is opposite to the very small values found in bulk iron nitrides. The magnetic moment and hyperfine field (the Fermi Contact) show a strong dependence with the lattice spacing with a collapse of the magnetic moments at certain critical lattice spacing.

The magnetic and magnetooptical properties of Fe/Ti, Zr, Pt and Fe/Ti, Zr, Pt/Fe thin-film magnetic structures

The results of investigation of the magnetic and magnetooptical properties of two-layer Fe/Ti, Zr, Pt and three-layer Fe/Ti, Zr, Pt/Fe thin-film magnetic structures are presented. The nonmagnetic layer exhibits a strong effect on the magnetic properties of samples. The magnitude of the saturation field of three-layer magnetic structures oscillates as a function of thickness of the nonmagnetic layer; the period of this oscillation depends on the thickness of the Fe layer. The Pt layer strongly affects the spectral dependences of the equatorial Kerr effect in the structures investigated.     

Controllable synthesis and magnetic property of Fe/Fe3O4 polyhedron synthesized by solvothermal method

Fe/Fe₃O₄ nano-cubes and nano-octahedrons have been successfully synthesized by employing a facile solvothermal method at 180?°C in the presence of ethylene glycol (EG). Well-defined assembly of uniform Fe/Fe₃O₄ with an average size of 400?nm could be obtained without a size-selection process. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the products. The magnetic properties of Fe/Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite were measured by using a vibrating sample magnetometer. The result of magnetic characterization reveals that the magnetic polyhedrons exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior and possess high saturation magnetization. It is expected that these magnetic polyhedron with uniform size would have potential applications in recording media and electrode materials.

Nano-sized magnetic instabilities in Fe/NiO/Fe(001) epitaxial thin films

We report on a magnetic imaging study of the Fe/NiO/Fe(001) trilayer structure, by means of X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM) and spin-polarised low-energy electron microscopy (SPLEEM). Two different magnetic couplings between the Fe layers are observed depending on the NiO thickness being greater or smaller than a critical value. Very small magnetic domains and domain walls are observed in the top Fe layer. They are dramatically smaller than those observed in the Fe substrate, and have a convoluted topology. Furthermore they seem to be unstable with respect to an applied magnetic field for any NiO thickness except that corresponding to the transition between the different coupling regimes. The phenomenology of such magnetic nano-structures and the dependence of the magnetic behaviour of the layered structure on the NiO spacer thickness are discussed on the basis of the experimental results and of state-of-the-art theoretical models.     

Synthesis and characterization of SiO2/(PMMA/Fe3O4) magnetic nanocomposites

Magnetic silica nanocomposites (magnetic nanoparticles core coated by silica shell) have the wide promising applications in the biomedical field and usually been prepared based on the famous St?ber process. However, the flocculation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles easily occurs during the silica coating, which limits the amount of magnetic silica particles produced in the St?ber process. In this paper, PMMA/Fe3O4 nanoparticles were used in the St?ber process instead of the "nude" Fe3O4 nanoparticles. And coating Fe3O4 with PMMA polymer beforehand can prevent magnetic nanoparticles from the aggregation that usually comes from the increasing of ionic strength during the hydrolyzation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) by the steric hindrance. The results show that the critical concentration of magnetic nanoparticles can increase from 12 mg/L for "nude" Fe3O4 nanoparticles to 3 g/L for PMMA/Fe3O4 nanoparticles during the St?ber process. And before the deposition of silica shell, the surface of PMMA/FeO4 nanoparticles had to be further modified by hydrolyzing them in CH3OH/NH3 x H2O mixture solution, which provides the carboxyl groups on their surface to react further with the silanol groups of silicic acid.     

Structure and magnetic properties of ZrO2-coated Fe powders and Fe/ZrO2 soft magnetic composites

Fe particles were coated with ZrO₂ nanopowders using mechanical milling method combined with high temperature recovery annealing process. The effect of milling time on particle size, phase structure and magnetic properties of the core-shell structure powders was studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the surfaces of the composite powders comprised thin and uniform layers of ZrO₂ insulating powders after milling. Also, the SEM images showed the morphology of micro-cellular structured compacts with cell-body of Fe particles and indicated that Fe particles were well separated and insulated by thin ZrO₂ layers. The Fe/ZrO₂ soft magnetic composites displayed much higher electrical resistivity, lower core loss than that of the pure Fe powder cores without ZrO₂ layers at medium and high frequencies. The preparation method of ZrO₂-insulated Fe powders provides a promising method to reduce the core loss and improve the magnetic properties for soft magnetic composite materials.

Ni doped Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles

In this work, the effect of nickel doping on the structural and magnetic properties of Fe3O4 nanoparticles is analysed. Ni(x)Fe(3-x)O4 nanoparticles (x = 0, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.11) were obtained by chemical co-precipitation method, starting from a mixture of FeCl2 x 4H2O and Ni(AcO)2 x 4H2O salts. The analysis of the structure and composition of the synthesized nanoparticles confirms their nanometer size (main sizes around 10 nm) and the inclusion of the Ni atoms in the characteristic spinel structure of the magnetite Fe3O4 phase. In order to characterize in detail the structure of the samples, X-ray absorption (XANES) measurements were performed on the Ni and Fe K-edges. The results indicate the oxidation of the Ni atoms to the 2+ state and the location of the Ni2+ cations in the Fe2+ octahedral sites. With respect to the magnetic properties, the samples display the characteristic superparamagnetic behaviour, with anhysteretic magnetic response at room temperature. The estimated magnetic moment confirms the partial substitution of the Fe2+ cations by Ni2+ atoms in the octahedral sites of the spinel structure.     

Structural and magnetic properties of evaporated nanostructured Fe/V multilayers

The structural and magnetic properties of the evaporated Fe/V multilayers with a fixed V-layer thickness (tV = 1.5 nm) and variable Fe layer thicknesses (0.75 nm < or = tFe < or = 6 nm) have been studied by X-ray reflectivity and high-angle X-ray diffraction, conversion-electron M?ssbauer spectrometry, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The results show that multilayers are formed with a broad Fe/V interface and pure crystalline bcc-Fe layers in the center of the individual subsystems. The Fe spin orientation is aligned in the film plane in the individual centers as well in the interfacial regions. The interfacial anisotropy constant Ks was estimated to be equal to 0.04 mJ/m2. This parallel magnetic anisotropy is discussed in terms of reduced symmetry effects on the hybridized 3d states.

Alignment behavior of primary Al3Fe phase in Al–Fe alloy under a high magnetic field

The influence of a high magnetic field on the alignment behavior of primary Al₃Fe phase in Al–Fe alloy was investigated. It was found that the primary Al₃Fe phase with plate-like morphology was gathered at the bottom of the sample without the high magnetic field. However, they aligned perpendicularly to the magnetic field direction and their homogeneous distribution throughout the sample was achieved when the high magnetic field was imposed. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the paramagnetic Al₃Fe phase was magnetized to align to a preferred direction <543> due to crystal magnetic anisotropy in the high magnetic field up to 12 T.     

Synthesis of size-controlled Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles for nucleic acid analysis

We present a systematic study on the preparation, characteration and potential application of Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles. Fe3O4 nanoparticles of controllable diameters were successfully synthesized by solvothermal system with tuning pH. The magnetic properties of nanoparticles were measured by vibration sample magnetometer. Fe3O4@ SiO2 nanoparticles were obtained via classic St?ber process. Streptavidin coated Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared by covalent interaction. The quantity of streptavidin bound to nanoparticles was determined by UV-Vis spectrometer. To evaluate the binding efficiency and capacity of nucleic acid on nanoparticles, the capture of biotinylated oligonucleotide on streptavidin coated Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles at different concentration was estimated by fluorescence detection. Both Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles exhibited well crystallization and magnetic properties. The maximal amount of streptavidin immobilized onto the Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles was 29.3 microg/mg. The saturation ratio of biotinylated oligonucleotides captured on streptavidin coated Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles was 5 microM/mg within 20 minutes, indicating that FeO4@SiO2 nanoparticles immobilized by streptavidin were excellent carriers in nucleic acid analysis due to their convenient magnetic-separation property. Therefore, the synthesized Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles with controllable size and high magnetic saturation have shown great application potentials in nucleic acid research.     

Magnetic properties of thin-film Co/Fe/Ni magnetic systems

The magnetic properties of Co/Fe/Ni thin-film structures grown by magnetron sputtering have been studied using magnetooptical techniques. The results of x-ray diffraction measurements showed that all samples possessed a nanocrystalline structure. The magnetization curves and hysteresis loops were measured using the equatorial Kerr effect for two orientations of the external magnetic field. It is established that the Co/Fe/Ni thinfilm structures exhibit a planar magnetic anisotropy. The magnetic behavior of each layer in the initial inhomogeneous Co/Fe/Ni structure is substantially influenced by stray fields of the adjacent layers. This circumstance accounts for the complex shapes of hysteresis loops. The annealing in vacuum at T = 500°C renders Co/Fe/Ni thin-film structures magnetically hard compared to the initial state. The experimental results are explained by certain features of the microstructure of samples.
