Substituting Al for Fe in Pr(Al_xFe_(1-x))_(1.9) alloys:Effects on magnetic and magnetostrictive properties

The magnetostrictive effects of substituting Al for Fe in Pr(AlxFe1-x)1.9(x = 0.0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10) alloys between5 K and 300 K were investigated. The substitution decreases the Curie temperature and the value of λ111. Fortunately, the substitution slightly increases the magnetostriction in a low magnetic field, which imbues these materials with potential advantages for applications. Rotation of the easy magnetization direction(EMD) from [111] to [100] in the Pr(Al0.02Fe0.98)1.9alloy as temperature decreases was detected by step scanned XRD reflections.

Low temperature magnetic and magnetostrictive properties in Pr(Fe_(1-x)Co_x)_(1.9) cubic Laves alloys

The structures,spin reorientations,magnetic,and magnetostrictive properties of the polycrystalline Pr(Fe_(1-x)Co_x)_(1.9)(x=0–1.0)cubic laves phase alloys between 5 K and 300 K are investigated.Large low-field magnetostrictions are observed at 5 K in the alloys with x=0.2 and 0.4 due to the low magnetic anisotropies of these two alloys.A large negative magnetostriction of about-1130 ppm is found in PrCo_(1.9) alloy at 5 K.The magnetizations of the alloys with 0≤x≤0.6decrease abnormally at the spin reorientation temperature T_(sr),and an abnormity is detected in the alloy with x=1.0 at its Curie temperature T_c(45 K).The substitution of Fe by Co increases the value of T_(sr) in the alloy with x value increasing from 0.0 to 0.4,and then reduces the value of Tsr with x value further increasing to 0.6.     

Dy substitution effect on the temperature dependences of magnetostriction in Pr_(1-x)Dy_xFe_(1.9) alloys

The temperature dependences of magnetostriction in Pr_(1 x)Dy_xFe_(1.9)(0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) alloys between 5 K and 300 K were investigated.An unusual decrease of magnetostriction with temperature decreasing was found in Pr-rich alloys(0 ≤x≤ 0.2),due to the change of the easy magnetization direction(EMD).Dy substitution reduces the magnetostriction in high-magnetic field(10 kOe ≤ H≤90 kOe) at 5 K,while a small amount of Dy substitution(x = 0.05) is beneficial to increasing the magnetostriction in low-magnetic field between 10 K and 50 K.This makes the alloys a potential candidate for low temperature applications.     

Li adsorption on monolayer and bilayer MoS_2 as an ideal substrate for hydrogen storage

Based on the first-principles plane wave calculations, we show that Li adsorbed on monolayer and bilayer MoS_2 forming a uniform and stable coverage can serve as a high-capacity hydrogen storage medium, and Li-coated MoS_2 can be recycled by operations at room temperature due to Li having strength binding, big separation and is stable against clustering. The full Li coverage MoS_2 system(2 * 2 hexagonal MoS_2 supercell) can reach up to eight H_2 molecules on every side, corresponding to the gravimetric density of hydrogen storage up to 4.8 wt% and 2.5 wt% in monolayer and bilayer MoS_2, respectively. The adsorption energies of hydrogen molecules are in the range of 0.10 e V/H_2–0.25 e V/H_2,which are acceptable for reversible H_2 adsorption/desorption near ambient temperature. In addition, compared with light metals decorated low dimension carbon-based materials, the sandwiched structure of MoS_2 exhibits the greatly enhanced binding stability of Li atoms as well as slightly decreased Li-Li interaction and thus avoids the problem of metal clustering.It is interesting to note that the Li atom apart from the electrostatic interaction, acts as a bridge of hybridization between the S atoms of MoS_2 and adsorbed H_2 molecules. The encouraging results show that such light metals decorated with MoS_2 have great potential in developing high performance hydrogen storage materials.

Fe48Co52 Alloy Nanowire Arrays: Effects of Magnetic Field Annealing

详细研究了磁场退火对于具有不同线间距(30～60 nm)和不同线直径(22～46 nm)的Fe48Co52合金纳米线阵列性能的影响．研究表明,退火过程中沿纳米线方向施加3kOe的磁场对于阵列的最佳退火温度和晶体结构以及线直径较小或线间距较大阵列的磁性能均无明显影响．但是对于具有较大线直径或较小线间距的阵列,这种磁场退火处理限制了其易磁化方向的转动并明显提高了其矫顽力与矩形度．认为不同阵列内部有效各向异性场强度之间所存在的差异是导致磁场退火后阵列磁性能出现不同变化的主要原因．     

Magnetic properties and magnetostriction of PrxNd1-xFe1.9（0≤x≤1.0） alloys at low temperature

The crystal structure,magnetic and magnetostrictive properties of high-pressure synthesized Prx Nd1-xFe1.9(0≤x≤1.0) alloys were studied.The alloys exhibit single cubic Laves phase with MgCu 2-type structure.The initial magnetization curve reveals that Pr0.2Nd0.8Fe1.9 has a minimum magnetocrystalline anisotropy at 5 K.The magnetostriction curve at 5 K shows that Pr0.2Nd0.8Fe1.9 has a very good low-field magnetostrictive property,and the magnetostriction of the PrxNd1-xFe1.9 alloy in high magnetic field is attributable mainly to Pr.The temperature dependence of the magnetostriction(λ ||) at the field of 5 kOe shows that the substitution of Nd reduces the K 1 remarkably,and the values of λ|| of Pr0.2Nd0.8Fe1.9 and Pr0.8Nd0.2Fe1.9 alloys are nearly five times larger than that of the PrFe 1.9 alloy below 50 K;the λ|| of Pr0.8Nd0.2Fe1.9 reaches up to 1082 ppm at 100 K,which makes it a potential candidate for application in this temperature range.
