Abstract In order to tune the magnetic properties of the cleavable high-Curie temperature ferromagnet Fe5-xGeTe2, the effect of increasing the electron count through arsenic substitution has been investigated. Small additions of arsenic (2.5 and 5%) seemingly enhance ferromagnetic order in polycrystalline samples by quenching fluctuations on one of the three magnetic sublattices, whereas larger As concentrations decrease the ferromagnetic Curie temperature (TC) and saturation magnetization. This work also describes the growth and characterization of Fe4.8AsTe2 single crystals that are structurally analogous to Fe5-xGeTe2 but with some phase stability complications. Magnetization measurements reveal dominant antiferromagnetic behavior in Fe4.8AsTe2 with a Neel temperature of TN ≈42K. A field-induced spin-flop below TN results in a switch from negative to positive magnetoresistance, with significant hysteresis causing butterfly-shaped resistance loops. In addition to reporting the properties of Fe4.8GeTe2, this work shows the importance of manipulating the individual magnetic sublattices in Fe5-xGeTe2 and motivates further efforts to control the magnetic properties in related materials by fine tuning of the Fermi energy or crystal chemistry.

a-Fe2O3 nanowire was successfully synthesized by oxidation of pure iron. The as-synthesized a-Fe2O3 nanowire arrayed normal to the surface of the substrate, were perfect single crystals with diameters of 20 to 40 nm and lengths varying from 2 to 5 µm. The magnetic property of the nanowires was studied, and some interesting phenomena were observed. The magnetic moment of the nanowire shows an antiferromagnetic behavior at high temperature and a weakly ferromagnetic behavior at low temperature. The block temperature of the a-Fe2O3 nanowire was found to be significantly higher than that of a-Fe2O3 nanoparticle.

Amorphous materials are of current interest due to their desirable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties. Furthermore, crystallizing amorphous alloys provides an avenue for discerning sequential and competitive phases thus allowing access to otherwise inaccessible crystalline structures. Previous studies have shown the benefits of using AEM to determine crystal structures and compositions of partially crystallized alloys. The present paper will discuss the AEM characterization of crystallized Cu-Ti and Ni-Ti amorphous films.Cu60Ti40: The amorphous alloy Cu60Ti40, when continuously heated, forms a simple intermediate, macrocrystalline phase which then transforms to the ordered, equilibrium Cu3Ti2 phase. However, contrary to what one would expect from kinetic considerations, isothermal annealing below the isochronal crystallization temperature results in direct nucleation and growth of Cu3Ti2 from the amorphous matrix.

Iron-base alloys containing 8-11 wt.% Si, 4-8 wt.% Al, known as “Sendust” alloys, show excellent soft magnetic properties. These magnetic properties are strongly dependent on heat treatment conditions, especially on the quenching temperature following annealing. But little has been known about the microstructure and the Fe-Si-Al ternary phase diagram has not been established. In the present investigation, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to study the microstructure in a Sendust alloy as a function of temperature.An Fe-9.34 wt.% Si-5.34 wt.% Al (approximately Fe3Si0.6Al0.4) alloy was prepared by vacuum induction melting, and homogenized at 1,200°C for 5 hrs. Specimens were heat-treated in a vertical tube furnace in air, and the temperature was controlled to an accuracy of ±2°C. Thin foils for TEM observation were prepared by jet polishing using a mixture of perchloric acid 15% and acetic acid 85% at 10V and ∼13°C. Electron microscopy was performed using a Philips EM 301 microscope.
