Magnetic properties and magnetic entropy change of perovskite manganites La_(0.9-x)Eu_xSr_(0.1)MnO_3(x=0.000,0.075) by experimental method and numerical fitting

Polycrystalline samples La_(0.9-x)EuxSr_(0.1)MnO_3(x = 0.000, 0.075) were prepared by the standard solid-state reaction method. The results show that the samples preform a characteristic of clusters spin-glass state at low temperature. The samples show a characteristic of ferromagnetism(FM) characteristic in the temperature range of 15-125 K and 15-150 K respectively; the samples show preformed clusters in the temperature range of 125-343 K and 150-325 K, respectively, the samples show paramagnetism(PM)characteristic above 343 and 325 K, respectively. The second-order transitions are found at 118 and 135 K for undoped and doped sample, respectively. When the applied magnetic field is 7 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change |△S_M| value of the samples is near the Curie temperature(Tc), and the value of|△S_M| reaches 2.76 and 3.03 J/(K kg), respectively. In addition, the relative cooling power(RCP) is found to be 425.28 and 443.53 J/kg. The numerical fitting data fit well with experimental data. These results indicate that both the samples have the potential to realize magnetic refrigeration in the high temperature region(T 77 K).

Structure,magnetism and magnetic thermal properties of heavy rare earth Tb_(1-x)Tm_xFeO_3(x=0.00,0.15,0.25) polycrystalline samples

Tb_(1-x)Tm_xFeO_3(x = 0.00,0.15,0.25) polycrystalline series were synthesized using a solid-state reaction.Our results show that all three prepared samples are in a distorted orthogonal structure and their space group is pbnm.When the Tm~(3+)doping amount increases,the characteristics of the spin-flip of the sample decreases following an initial increase at the beginning;the antiferromagnetic property almost reaches zero;the magnetization decreases at the beginning but increases later on.The maximum magnetic entropy change and magnetic refrigeration effect RCP are reduced at varying degrees.Under a 7 T magnetic field,the maximum magnetic entropy change,△S_(max),for the three samples of Tb_(1-x)Tm_xFeO_3 with x=0.00,0.15,0.25 is 13.78,-9.28,and 10.69 J/(K·kg),respectively;the magnetic refrigeration capacity(RCP) is 316.85,175.2,and 297.60 J/kg,respectively.In summary,doping with the element Tm reduces △S_(max) and RCP of the sample.Since the maximum magnetic entropy change and the cooling capacity for the three samples are relatively large,they can be used as an alternative for magnetic refrigerants.     

Tunable Curie temperature and magnetocaloric effect of FeCrMoCBYNi bulk metallic glass with different crystallized phases

The investigation on Curie temperature and magnetocaloric effect of the FeCrMoCBYNi bulk metallic glass(BMG) with different crystallized phases was carried out by XRD,TEM and PPMS. The experimental results show that the Curie temperature(T_c) of Fe_(45)Cr_(15)Mo_(14)C_(15)B_6 Y_2 Ni_3 BMG with different annealing condition reaches a highest value of 95 K. The value of magnetic entropy change △S_M(T) of Sample 3 reaches a maxima of 0.48 J/(kg·K) at Tc temperature, which result from the interaction among the precipitated phases of(Fe,Cr)_(23)(C,B)_6, Fe_3 Mo_3 C and residual amorphous phase. Based on the experiment results, it can be obtained that the Curie temperature, magnetocaloric effect can reach their optimal value at low temperature, when the content of amorphous phase and precipitated phases type run up to certain value. The magnetic properties of Sample 1 with full amorphous phase and Sample 4 with full crystalline phase will both decrease.

Effect of a magnetic field on magnetic entropy change in LaFe_（11.7）Si_（1.3） compound

The magnetocaloric effect of LaFe11.7Si1.3 compound was investigated under an external magnetic field up to 9 T.The magnetization changed drastically at the Curie temperature TC under different fields and TC increased with the applied fields.The magnetic entropy change |?SM| vs temperature peak consisted of a spike and a plateau.The spike was a spurious result,while the plateau part resulted from the field-induced itinerant-electron metamagnetic(IEM) transition above TC,which went up with magnetic fields increasing.The width of the magnetic entropy change increased with magnetic fields at a rate of dL?S /dT~4 K/T.     

Magnetic properties and large magnetocaloric effects of GdPd intermetallic compound

With the intention to explore excellent magnetocaloric materials, the intermetallic compound GdPd was synthesized by arc melting and heat treatment. The microstructure, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of the intermetallic compound of GdPd were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and the physical property measurement system(PPMS). A large reversible magnetocaloric effect is observed in GdPd accompanied by a second order magnetic phase transition from paramagnetism to ferromagnetism at ～39 K. The paramagnetic Curie temperature(θp) and the effective magnetic moment(μ_(eff))are determined to be 34.7 K and 8.12 μ_B/Gd,respectively. The maximum entropy change(|△S_M~(Max)|) and the relative cooling power(RCP) under a field change of 5 T are estimated to be 20.14 J/(kg·K) and 433 J/kg, respectively. The giant reversible magnetocaloric effects(both the large△S_M and the high RCP) together with the absence of thermal and field hysteresis make the GdPd compound an attractive candidate for low-temperature magnetic refrigeration.     

Magnetocaloric effect and magnetic properties of La_（0.9）Ce_（0.1）（Fe_（0.99）Mn_（0.01））_（11.6）Si_（1.4）H_（1.6） compound

Magnetocaloric effect and magnetic properties of La0.9Ce0.1(Fe0.99Mn0.01)11.6Si1.4 and its hydride La0.9Ce0.1(Fe0.99Mn0.01)11.6Si1.4H1.6 were investigated. The Curie temperature of La0.9Ce0.1(Fe0.99Mn0.01)11.6Si1.4 was increased by hydrogen absorption. XRD patterns showed that the structure of La0.9Ce0.1(Fe0.99Mn0.01)11.6Si1.4H1.6 remained NaZn13-type. The Curie temperature (TC) of the sample was increased from 174 K to 331 K. The homogeneity of the hydrogen absorption for La0.9Ce0.1(Fe0.99Mn0.01)11.6Si1.4H1.6 was proven very well by the random measurement of DSC. The magnetic entropy △SM of La0.9Ce0.1(Fe0.99Mn0.01)11.6Si1.4H1.6 had peak at 326 K. The peak value of-△SM-was 12.3 and 7.8 J/(kg.K) under magnetic field change of 0-2 T and 0-1 T,respectively,which was comparable with Gd5Si2Ge2. The negative slope and inflection point of the Arrott curve indicated that the first-order magnetic transition of La0.9Ce0.1(Fe0.99Mn0.01)11.6Si1.4 was reserved after hydrogen absorption.

Indentation creep behaviors of Mg61Cu28Gd11 and （Mg61Cu28Gd11）99.5Sb0.5 bulk metallic glasses at room temperature

The room temperature creep behaviors of Mg61Cu28Gd11 and(Mg61Cu28Gd11)99.5Sb0.5 bulk metallic glasses(BMGs) were revealed by means of nanoindentation technique.The creep mechanism was explored by characterization of creep rate sensitivity,creep compliance and retardation spectra.The results showed that the experimental creep curves could be well described by a generalized Kelvin model.The low creep rate sensitivity of both Mg-based BMGs indicated that their room temperature creep was dominated by localized shear flow.In addition,the(Mg61Cu28Gd11)99.5Sb0.5 glassy alloy exhibited lower creep rate sensitivity,creep compliance and milder retardation peak,indicating its higher creep-resistance and less relaxed state.Furthermore,the creep retardation spectrum consisted of two relatively separated peaks with the well defined characteristic relaxation times.     

Preparation and magnetic properties of anisotropic Nd_2Fe_(14)B/Sm_2Co_(17) hybrid-bonded magnets

In the present work, anisotropic Nd_2 Fe_(14) B/Sm_2 Co_(17) hybrid-bonded magnets were prepared with different Nd-Fe-B contents. It is found that the particle distributions and ratios between the two magnetic phases have important roles in the magnetic properties, microstructures and thermal stability of the magnets. With increase of Nd-Fe-B content, the saturation magnetization of the anisotropic hybrid magnet increases significantly, however, coercivity decreases, and the demagnetization curves show magnetically single-phase behavior. The anisotropic Nd_2 Fe_(14) B/Sm_2 Co_(17) hybrid-bonded magnets exhibit a maximum energy product and remanence of 14.15 MGOe and 99.53 A·m~2/kg, respectively, when the NdFe-B content is 70 wt% at room temperature. Furthermore, the hybrid magnets also have better thermal stability at elevated temperatures due to the interaction between the two magnetic particles.     

Luminescent and magnetic properties of multifunctional europium(III) complex based nanocomposite

The luminescent rare earth (RE) complex based multifunctional nanocomposites offer new potential applications of multimodal imaging (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fluorescent bioimaging, etc.) that can be associated with therapeutic activities. In this study, we report some results obtained with novel multifunctional Fe₃O₄/Si-amine/Eu(NTA)₃ nanocomposites that are composed of europium(III) complex with 1-(2-naphthoyl)-3,3,3-trifluoroacetone ligands (NTA) (Eu(NTA)₃) and superparamagnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. These nanocomposites were functionalized with an amine group for biomedicine application. The multifunctional Fe₃O₄/Si-amine/Eu(NTA)₃ nanocomposites exhibit both good magnetic behavior of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles as a core and strong fluorescent property of europium(III) complex. Their characterizations were analyzed by XRD, SEM, EDX and FTIR spectra. The optical properties were studied in detail by UV-VIS spectra and luminescent emission spectra. The magnetic property was estimated by VMS. The effect of concentrations of luminescent Eu(NTA)₃ complex on luminescent and magnetic properties is discussed.     

Emission enhancement and color modulation of Tm(Ho)/Yb codoped Gd_2(MoO_4)_3 thin films via the use of multilayered structure

The multilayered structure thin films(Gd_2(MoO_4)_3:Ho(Tm)/Yb@Gd_2(MoO_4)_3:Yb)) were prepared through sol-gel and spin-coating method,while the average thinness was nearly 140 nm.We investigated the up-conversion luminescence of Gd2(MoO_4)3:Ho(Tm)/Yb@Gd2(MoO_4)3:Yb thin films,The results show that the double-layer structured thin films are able to increase the emission intensity.The fluorescence enhancement factors of the luminescence from Gd2(MoO_4)3:Ho/Yb@Gd2(MoO_4)3:Yb thin films,located at540 and 662 nm,reach 7.5 and 4.3,respectively.And the enhancement factors of emissions located at450,475 and 650 nm(Gd_2(MoO_4)3:Tm/Yb@Gd_2(MoO_4)_3:Yb)) reach 9,2 and 2,respectively.The considerable enhancement is due to the suppression of surface quenching and energy harvesting via the Yb ions in the outer shell.In addition,the emission color of thin films can be modulated from yellow to blue via tuning the number of Gd2(MoO_4)3:Ho/Yb and Gd2(MoO_4)3:Tm/Yb layers,which provides a feasible strategy to tune the up-conversion emission color.     

Microstructure and magnetic properties of(SmCo+FeCo)/NdFeB multicomponent nanocomposite magnets fabricated by HPTC with change in heating temperature and composition

We report the fabrication of bulk anisotropic(SmCo+FeCo)/NdFeB multicomponent nanocomposite magnets using high-pressure thermal compression(HPTC).The correlations among microstructure,magnetic properties,heating temperature and composition of the HPTC nanocomposite magnets were studied.The HPTC magnet made under variable temperatures(VT),with 19 wt% of FeCo phase,exhibits a maximum energy product of 32 MGOe,which is much higher than that(14 MGOe) for the HPTC magnet made under a constant temperature(CT).When the FeCo content increases to～23 wt%,the HPTC magnet made under VT still remains a high energy product of about 25 MGOe.With increasing NdFeB content,the(SmCo+FeCo)/NdFeB multicomponent nanocomposite magnets exhibit an enhanced magnetic anisotropy and coercivity.This work is beneficial to fabricating high-performance and low-cost permanent magnets for practical applications.

Effect of wheel speed on phase formation and magnetic properties of (Nd0.4La0.6)-Fe-B melt-spun ribbons

The effect of wheel speed on phase formation and magnetic properties of (Nd_0.4La_0.6)₁₅Fe_77.5B_7.5 and (Nd_0.4La_0.6)_13.4Fe_79.9B_6.7 ribbons prepared by melt-spinning method was investigated experimentally. Based on X-ray diffraction results, all melt-spun ribbons consist of the main phase with the tetragonal 2:14:1 type structure and the minor α-Fe phase. Magnetic measurements show the maximum magnetic energy product ((BH)_max) and the remanence (M_r) increases firstly and then decreases with the increase of wheel speed, while the coercivity (H_ci) increases, resulting from the variation of the average volume fraction of the α-Fe phase and the average grain size in the melt-spun ribbons. Using Henkel plots, the interaction between the 2:14:1 phase and the α-Fe phase in the melt-spun ribbons was analyzed and the intergranular exchange coupling is manifested. Optimal magnetic properties of H_ci = 7.27 kOe, M_r = 90.94 emu/g and (BH)_max = 12.10 MGOe are achieved in the (Nd_0.4La_0.6)₁₅Fe_77.5B_7.5 ribbon with the wheel speed of 26 m/s. It indicates that magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B melt-spun ribbons with highly abundant rare earth element La can be improved by optimizing alloy composition and preparation process.     

Doping effect of rare-earth (lanthanum,neodymium and gadolinium) ions on structural,optical, dielectric and magnetic properties of copper nanoferrites

Copper and rare earth-doped (RE = La, Gd, Nd) CuFe_1.85RE_0.15O₄ nanoferrites were prepared using the sonochemical method. The effective doping of rare-earth (La³⁺, Nd³⁺, Gd³⁺) ions with copper nanoferrites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The tetrahedral and octahedral sites of the nanoferrites were identified through the Fourier transform infrared spectra. The doping of rare-earth elements enhances the optical bandgap energy of the nanoferrites that are observed through Ultraviolet–DRS spectra. The oxidation state of the elements Cu 2p, La 3d, Nd 3d, Gd 3d, Fe 2p and O 1s was analyzed. Scanning electron microscopy images indicate a spherical morphology with agglomeration to some elongate. The values of dielectric constant and conductivity decrease considerably due to doping rare-earth ions in copper nanoferrites. Low saturation magnetization and high coercivity values of rare earth-doped copper nanoferrites are observed from the typical hysteresis curves.

Electrochemical synthesis,structure characterization and magnetic properties of Tb_xFe_7Co_3(x=0,0.6,0.8) nanowires

Highly ordered Tb_xFe_7 Co_3(x=0,0.6,0.8) nanowires were synthesized in alumina templates by electrochemical deposition method.Here,the effects of Tb content and annealing treatment on the phase composition,morphology,crystalline structure and magnetic properties were investigated.The asdeposited Tb_0 Fe_7 Co_3 nanowires comprise Fe_7 Co_3 phase.While after adding Tb,the diffraction peaks slightly shift left,indicating the infiltration of Tb atoms into Fe_7 Co_3 phase.After annealing,Tb_0 Fe_7 Co_3 nanowires still consist of Fe_7 Co_3 phase with a slight enhancement on coercivity.While the annealed nanowires with Tb doped present a complex phase composition containing Fe3 Tb,Fe_2 Tb,Co_3 Tb,Co_(17)Tb_2,TbFeO_3 and Fe_2 O_3 phases distribute in the central portion,and Co_(0.72)Fe_(0.28) at the nanowire outer walls.The annealed Tb_xFe_7 Co_3(x=0.6,0.8) nanowires show higher magnetic performance owing to the formation of hard magnetic phases,the interfacial elastic coupling between hard and soft phases and the coherent Fe3 Tb/Co_3 Tb interface which restrain the domain wall motion.To be specific,the coercivity and remanence ratio of TbxFe_7 Co_3(x=0.6,0.8) nanowires significantly enhance with increasing Tb content.
