ABSTRACTWe report the growth of single crystals by a flux method in ambient pressure and tri-axial orientation under modulated rotation magnetic fields (MRFs) on REBa2Cu4O8 (RE124, RE; rare earth elements) compounds. RE124 crystals were grown for RE = Y, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb through appropriate choice of source compounds. All the obtained RE124 powders were tri-axially aligned in MRF of 10T, whereas magnetization axes depended on the type of RE. Moreover, it was found from the changes in the degrees of c-axis and inplane orientation that tri-axial magnetic anisotropies of RE124 also depended on the type of RE. This indicates that it appropriate choice of RE is important for the fabrication of tri-axial oriented ceramics in lower magnetic field conditions.

AbstractContinuing an earlier study, we report new data on the orientational effects of magnetic field alignment of some bismuth cuprates and 8 additional thallium cuprates. Strong parallel alignment is seen for Lu bismate and Nd, Sm and Ho thallate; strong normal alignment is seen for Tm; however, in contrast to bismates and 123 phase, Tl cuprates show little anisotropy among directions within the basal plane.

Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) technique was used to investigate the abundance and distribution of rare earth elements (REE) in soil around Kaduna Refinery. The aim of the study is to assess the rare elements potential of Nigeria for economic exploitation. Five REEs (La, Dy, Eu, Yb, and Lu) were detected in varying concentrations ranging from a minimum of 0.6 µg/g (Lu) to a maximum of 249.0 µg/g (La). The elements existed with trends consistent with the natural pattern of REEs in soil, showing significant Eu and Dy anomalies which characterize upper plains and flood plains. The levels of REEs in soil in the study area were generally slightly above background levels, with minimal (La, Dy, and Eu), moderate (Yb), and significant (Lu) enrichments and trending: Lu ˃Yb ˃ Eu ˃ Dy ˃ La. The abundance of the REEs investigated cannot establish a potential of Nigeria for economic exploitation of the mineral, hence, rare earth project in the study area is not viable at the moment.
