不同气氛下机械合金化制备的纳米晶Fe60Cr40粉末的磁性能

Magnetic properties of nanocrystalline Fe60Cr40 powders prepared by mechanical alloying in vacuum and air were investigated by utilizing the measurements of magnetization, X-ray diffraction, and 57 Fe Mossbauer spectrum. The results show that the Fe60 Cr40powders keep the bcc structure during milling in air and vacuum. The saturation magnetization of the Fe60 Cr40 powders milled in vacuum and air decreases with the increase of the milling time up to 45 h. The decrease of saturation magnetization of the Fe60 Cr40 powders milled in vacuum is due to the formation of Fe-Cr solid solution, while in air it is due to the formation of paramagnetic disorder structure and solid solution.     

V2O5-CaCo3-Nb2O5掺杂对低损耗功率Mn-Zn铁氧体的影响

Effect of the content of dopants in the manganese-zinc ferrites on the low power loss is studied by measuring magnetic properties and observing the grain boundary structures. The Mn0.738Zn0.206Fe2.066O4 composition powders were prepared by using conventional ceramic powder processing technique. The microstructure of grain boundary was observed by scanning electron microscope （SEM）. It has been found that power loss is greatly dependent upon the content of the additives.     

Study of transport behavior for Fe-doping La<Subscript>0.67</Subscript>Ca<Subscript>0.33</Subscript>MnO<Subscript>3</Subscript> perovskite manganese

Systematic studies of the transport properties of La_0.67Ca_0.33Mn_1?xFe _x O₃ (x=0–0.3) systems showed that with increasing Fe-doping contentx the resistance increases and the insulator-metal transition temperature moves to lower temperature. For small doping content, the transport property satisfies metal transport behavior below the transition temperature, and above the transition temperature it satisfies the small polaron model. This behavior can be explained by Fe³⁺ doping, which easily forms Fe³⁺?O^2??Mn⁴⁺ channel, suppressing the double exchange Mn³⁺?O^2??Mn⁴⁺ channel and enhancing the spin scattering of Mn ions induced by antiferromagnetic clusters of Fe ions.     

Structure and Magnetic Properties of Fe1-xCx Solid Solution Prepared by Mechanical Alloying

Supersaturated solid solutions Fe1-xCx （0≤x≤0.9 ） of wide composition range have been prepared by mechanical alloying process. Nanocrystalline phase was formed for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.67 and a large grain phase for 0.75 ≤ x ≤ 0.9. The large fraction of graphite volume puts off formation of nanocrystalline phase for high carbon content. In the large grain phase, magnetization follows simple magnetic dilution, and eoereivity He is mainly due to dissolution of carbon at grain boundaries. In the nanocrystalline phase the alloying effect of carbon is revealed by a distinct reduction of average magnetic moment. The increasing lattice constant with increasing carbon content is observed for x ≤ 0.5, suggesting that the high carbon concentration may enhance diffusion of carbon into the Fe lattice. It shows a discontinuity in the Hc variation with a grain size D of nanocrystalline phase. For small grain D below the critical value, Hc increases with D. For a large grain D, Hc decreases with increasing D. The solubility limit of carbon in a-Fe extended by nanocry- stalline phase formation is discussed.     

在室温和常压下用机械合金化方法制备Fe5C2金属间化合物

Single phase Fe5C2 intermetallic compound was prepared by mechanical alloying method. The phase and crystal structure of sample were analyzed with X-ray differaction spectrum. The decomposing temperature of the Fe5C2 compound is 596.4℃ determined by the DSC curve. It is further shown that the size of nanometer crystal grain is an important condition for carrying out the solid state reaction at room temperature and normal pressure.     

Dependence of nanocrystalline phase formation and magnetic properties in Fe25Ni75 on ball milling time

Nanocrystalline Fe₂₅Ni₇₅ powders were prepared by the mechanical alloying process. They were investigated by X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The ball milling time dependence of grain size, internal strain and magnetic properties has been discussed. The results show that the formation of Fe₂₅Ni₇₅ alloy phase is almost completed after milling for 30 hours. The reduction of grain size accompanied by the growth of internal strain was observed after extended milling. An average grain size about 10–20 nm of alloyed powders has been determined by Sherrer formula estimation. The saturation magnetisation Ms has a slight increase when the average grain size continues to decrease by intensive milling. This fine size of mechanically alloyed powders (10–20 nm) results in a single domain magnetic structure and the formation of superparamagnetic phase.     

Fe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> as indicator of heavy metal enrichment in Zhujiang (Pearl River) estuary sediments

A part of the heavy metals in estuary and coastal zone occurs naturally in the environment; the other part is due to human activity; so the directly measured concentration of heavy metal does not automatically indicate anthropogenic enrichment. Fe₂O₃ was used in this study as conservative tracer to distinguish natural components from anthropogenic components of heavy metal sediment concentration in the Zhujiang estuary. Compared with clay and Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃ is more suitable as reference element. The final results showed that two zones in the Zhujiang estuary were seriously contaminated by heavy metals. One nearby the Humen mouth; the other around the west coast of the estuary. The horizontal distribution of heavy metals indicates that Zn, Ni and Cu have wider contaminating areas than TiO₂, V and Cr in the estuary.     

Characterization and photocatalytic activity of mixed nanocrystalline TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> powders prepared by xerogel-hydrothermal method in different acid solutions

TiO₂ nanoparticles(NPs)were prepared via the hydrothermal route of TiO₂ xerogel in nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and acetic acid. The physico-chemical properties of the powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and N₂ adsorption desorption techniques. The effects of the different acids on the structure(crystal phase)and texture(primary particle size and porosity)of the TiO₂ powders were explored. Results indicated that acetic acid facilitated the formation and stability of pure anatase phase. On the other hand, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid led to the transformation from anatase to rutile. The catalyst synthesized via the hydrothermal route of TiO₂ xerogel in the low concentration hydrochloric acid solution(Ti-HCl-0.15)had the highest photocatalytic activity than the catalysts obtained in the other two acid solutions. The effects of the different acids were discussed in terms of acid strength, chelating effect and the thermal stability of the adsorbed acidic anions.     

Preparation and electrochemical application of praseodymium modified TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-NTs/SnO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-Sb anode by cyclic voltammetry method

A Pr-doped TiO₂-NTs/SnO₂-Sb electrode was prepared by a simple method, cyclic voltammetry(CV). The methyl orange(MO)aqueous solution was selected as a simulated wastewater. The ordered microstructural TiO₂-NTs substrate was synthesized by an electrochemical method to obtain large specific surface area and high space utilization. The phase structure, electrode surface morphology and electrochemical properties of electrodes were characterized by XRD, SEM and electrochemical technology, respectively. The results showed that praseodymium oxide was successfully doped into the SnO₂-Sb film by CV method. Due to the doped Pr, the oxygen evolution potential increased from 2.25 V to 2.40 V. The degradation of MO was investigated by UV-vis. The C _t /C ₀ (φ) was studied as a function to obtain the optimal parameters, such as the amount of doped Pr, current density and initial dye concentration. In addition, the degradation process followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics and the rate constant was 0.099 3 min^-1. The result indicated that the introduction of Pr reduced the formation of oxygen vacancies or enhanced the formation of adsorbed hydroxyl radical groups on the surface, thus leading to better activity and stability.     

Science Letters：Nitrogen doping of activated carbon loading Fe2O3 and activity in carbon-nitric oxide reaction

Nitrogen doping of activated carbon loading Fe2O3 was performed by annealing in ammonia, and the activity of the modified carbon for NO reduction was studied in the presence of oxygen. Results show that Fe2O3 enhances the amount of surface oxygen complexes and facilitates nitrogen incorporation in the carbon, especially in the form of pyridinic nitrogen. The modified carbon shows excellent activity for NO reduction in the low temperature regime (<500 °C) because of the cooperative effect of Fe2O3 and the surface nitrogen species.     

Solvothermal synthesis of nanosized CoSb<Subscript>3</Subscript> skutterudite

Nanostructures enhance phonon scattering and improve the figure of merit of thermoelectric materials. Nanosized CoSb₃ skutterudite was synthesized by solvothermal methods using CoCl₂ and SbCl₃ as the precursors. A “two-step” model was suggested for the formation of CoSb₃ based on the X-ray diffraction analysis. The first step is the formation of cobalt diantimonide in the earlier stage during the synthesis process. Diantimonide was then combined with antimony atoms to form the skutterudite structured triantimonide, CoSb₃, in the later stage of the synthesis process as the second step. The synthesized CoSb₃ powders consist of irregular particles with sizes of about 20 nm and sheets of about 80 nm.

Electrochemical properties of CoFe<Subscript>3</Subscript>Sb<Subscript>12</Subscript> as potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries

A skutterudite-related antimonide, CoFe₃Sb₁₂, was prepared with vacuum melting. XRD analysis showed the material contained Sb, FeSb₂, CoSb₂ and CoSb₃ phases. The electrochemical properties of the ball-milled CoFe₃Sb₁₂−10 wt% graphite composite were studied using pure lithium as the reference electrode. A maximal lithium inserting capacity of about 860 mAh/g was obtained in the first cycle. The reversible capacity of the material was about 560 mAh/g in the first cycle and decreased toca. 320 mAh/g and 250 mAh/g after 10 and 20 cycles respectively.Ex-situ XRD analyses showed that the antimonides in the pristine material were decomposed after the first discharge and that antimony was the active element for lithium to insert into the host material.

Fabrication of LaAlO<Subscript>3</Subscript> film by sol-gel process with corresponding inorganic

Well-cubic perovskite lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO₃) film on (110) silicon substrate was fabricated by sol-gel method with corresponding inorganic salts. Lanthanum acetate and aluminum acetate glacial acetic acid solutions were prepared via ligand exchange starting from lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate and aluminum nitrate hexahydrate after being refluxed. (CH₃CO)₂O removed nitrates and the crystallized H₂O completely, acetylacetone (AcAc) was partially bidentated with metallic ion of the metallic acetates and formed La(OAc)_3−x (AcAc) _x which were hydrolyzed into La(AcAc)_3−x(OH) _x by adding 10 ml 0.4% methyl cellulose (MCL) solution. The La(AcAc)_3−x (OH) _x , polymerizing and combining with MCL, formed the LaAlO₃ sol precursor with heteropolymeric structure and formed film easily. The epitaxial LaAlO₃ film on Si(110) substrate was crystallized after being annealed in thermal annealing furnace for 650–750 °C/30 min. The morphologies and microstructures were characterized. The refractive index of the LAO film was 1.942 to 2.007; the dielectric constant and the dissipation factors were estimated to be 23–26 and 2.1×10⁻⁴−2.4×10⁻⁴ respectively.

Structure and Magnetic Propoerty of Amorphous Fe—Ni Particles prepared by Mechanical Alloying

The amorphous Fe67.5 alloy particles have been prepared by mechanical alloying(MA) process of elemental powders.The crystallization is observed at temperature around 405℃ by means of differential thermal analyzer,It is found that the coercivity Hc and the effective magnetic anisotropy value of amorphous phase are not far from that of crystal phase.The magnetization behavior of amorphous and nanocrystalline samples prepared by mechanical alloying and milling process are quite similar,they obey 1/H law at middle-high field and 1/H^2 at higher field.The 1/H field dependence is attributed to a large number of dislocations created during MA process.The studies on the 1/H^2 field dependence reveals that magnetization of Fe-Ni ultrafine particles are governed predominantly by internal stress fields induced by MA process.

Catalytic properties of CuO/Sn0.9Ti0.1O2 and CuO/Sn0.7Ti0.3O2 in NO＋CO reaction

Using SnxTi1-xO2 as carriers, CuO/Sn0.9Ti0.1O2 and CuO/Sn0.7Ti0.3O2 catalysts with different loading amounts of copper oxide (CuO) were prepared by an impregnation method. The catalytic properties of CuO/Sn0.9Ti0.1O2 and CuO/Sn0.7Ti0.3O2 were examined using a microreactor-gas chromatography (GC) NO CO reaction system and the methods of BET (Brun- auer-Emmett-Teller), TG-DTA (themogravimetric and differential thermal analysis), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and H2-temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The results showed that NO conversions of Sn0.9Ti0.1O2 and Sn0.7Ti0.3O2 were 47.2% and 43.6% respectively, which increased to 95.3% and 90.9% at 6 wt% CuO loading. However, further increase in CuO loading caused a decrease in the catalytic activity. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm and pore-size distribution curve of Sn0.9Ti0.1O2 and Sn0.7Ti0.3O2 represented type IV of the BDDT (Brunauer, Deming, Deming and Teller) system and a typical mesoporous sample. There were two CuO diffraction peaks (2θ 35.5° and 38.7°), and the diffraction peak areas increased with increasing CuO loading. TPR analysis also detected three peaks (α, β and γ) from the CuO-loaded catalysts, suggesting that the α peak was the reduction of the highly dispersed copper oxide, the β peak was the reduction of the isolated copper oxide, and the γ peak was the reduction of crystal phase copper oxide. In addition, a fourth peak (δ) of the catalysts meant that the SnxTi1-xO2 mixed oxides could be reductive.     

The Electrochemical Performance of Ml0.7Mm0.3Ni3.7Co0.7Mn0.4Al0.2 Nanocrystalline Hydrogen Storage Alloy as Metal Hydride Electrode

Ml0.7Mm0.3Ni3.7Co0.7Mn0.4Al0.2 nanocrystalline hydrogen storage materials are prepared by melt-spinning(MS).X-ray diffraction is used for the measurement of the nanocrystalline size.Compared to the electrode of polycrystalline alloys,the property of activation MH9metal hydride)electrode of the alloys with nanometer scale became worse and the inital discharge capacity decreased.It may be ascribed to the decrease of the total amount of rare earth metals and the increase of oxygen on the surface from the analysis of components of the alloys.After heat-treatment,the electrochemical performance of MH electrode of as-spun alloys could be improved,which could be attributed to the alleviation of the lattice strain.     

ZnS<Subscript>0.8</Subscript>Se<Subscript>0.2</Subscript> film for high resolution liquid crystal light valve

The structural characteristics and optical and electrical properties of molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE) grown ZnS_0.8Se_0.2 thin films on indium-tin-oxide(ITO) glas substrates were investigated in this work. TheX-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that high quality polycrystalline ZnS_0.8Se_0.2 thin film grown at the optimized temperature had a prefered orientation along the (111) planes. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) cross-sectional micrograph of the sample showed a well defined columnar structure with lateral crystal dimension in the order of a few hundred angstroms. Ultraviolet (UV) photoresponsivity as high as 0.01 A/W had been demonstrated and for wavelengths longer than 450 nm, the response was down from the peak response by more than 3 orders of magnitude. The thin ZnS_0.8Se_0.2 photosensor layer, with a wide energy gap and anisotropic electrical property, makes a transmission UV liquid crystal light valve (LCLV) with high resolution feasible.

过冷液相区内轧制温度对Zr52.5Al10Ni10Cu15Be12.5大块金属玻璃表面形貌的影响

Surface morphologies of Zr52.5 Al10 Ni10 Cu15 Be12.5 bulk metallic glass after being rolled at both a temperature around T9 and near （ Tx - 50） K were investigated with a scanning electron microscopy. Macroscopic and microscopic observation results show that squamae, cracks, steps and wedges exist on the surface when the samples were rolled at temperatures around Ty. However, a smooth and fiat surface appears when the samples were rolled at temperatures near （ Tx - 50） K. These results indicate that the mode of deformation in the supercooled liquid region is a partially homogeneous flow at a temperature around T9, and a fully homogeneous one at temperatures near （ Tx - 50） K. According to the results, it is more feasible to roll the amorphous alloys at temperatures near （ Tx - 50） K to obtain parts with smooth and fiat surface.
