AbstractIn high Tc superconductors (HTSC) the activation energy gives information about the pinning properties of a sample under applied magnetic field. Pinning of vortices determines the critical current density Jc which is of great importance for practical applications of HTSC. Instead of magnetic measurements, the activation energy may be calculated from resistivity measurements realized under magnetic field. This kind of measurement has been made in this work for yttrium doped samples of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (Bi-2212) for different values of applied magnetic field. Samples of Bi2Sr2Ca1-xYxCu2O8+d (x = 0, 0.025, 0.1, 0.25) were prepared by a sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive analysis of X-ray. The measurements of resistivity were made using a classical four probe method and DC current. The magnetic field was applied with a constant amplitude of 0 T, 1 T, 2 T and 3 T. The obtained results show that the activation energy decreases with introduction of yttrium, but has a relative maximum when x is equal 0.1. The decrease of the activation energy is explained by the granular nature of the samples which promotes 3D transition to 2D of the vortex lattice.

Steel Properties

The magnetic properties of commercial dual-phase (DP) steels (DP600, DP800 and DP1000 grades) were evaluated using initial permeability, incremental permeability and coercivity and correlated with the key microstructural differences between the grades. The ferrite grain sizes and ferrite fractions have been compared with the magnetic parameters obtained from minor and major magnetisation loops within each DP grade. It has been revealed that the incremental permeability increases with the applied magnetic field amplitude to reach a peak and then drops at a higher magnetic field, with the values being different for the three DP grades at a lower field and converging to a similar permeability value at the high field. The effects of ferrite grain size and phase fraction on the incremental permeability are considered, and it has been shown that the influence of ferrite grain boundaries on magnetic permeability is more dominant than the effect of ferrite fraction in commercial DP steel samples. An analysis of the correlation between coercivity and initial permeability with tensile strength shows that the initial permeability provides a slightly better prediction of strength for the steels examined, which is believed to be due to the fact that a combination of reversible and irreversible domain components affect the coercivity value, while the initial permeability is predominantly affected by reversible domain movements. Based on the trend between incremental permeability and applied magnetic field and the commercial EM sensor (EMspec) operating parameters, the effect of lift-off and hence magnetic field strength on the sensitivity to DP steel properties can be assessed.

The Difference

Bio-inspired functional surfaces attract many research interests due to the promising applications. In this paper, tunable adhesion of a bio-inspired micropillar arrayed surface actuated by a magnetic field is investigated theoretically in order to disclose the mechanical mechanism of changeable adhesion and the influencing factors. Each polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micropillar reinforced by uniformly distributed magnetic particles is assumed to be a cantilever beam. The beam's large elastic deformation is obtained under an externally magnetic field. Specially, the rotation angle of the pillar's end is predicted, which shows an essential effect on the changeable adhesion of the micropillar arrayed surface. The larger the strength of the applied magnetic field, the larger the rotation angle of the pillar's end will be, yielding a decreasing adhesion force of the micropillar arrayed surface. The difference of adhesion force tuned by the applied magnetic field can be a few orders of magnitude, which leads to controllable adhesion of such a micropillar arrayed surface. Influences of each pillar's cross section shape, size, intervals between neighboring pillars, and the distribution pattern on the adhesion force are further analyzed. The theoretical predictions are qualitatively well consistent with the experimental measurements. The present theoretical results should be helpful not only for the understanding of mechanical mechanism of tunable adhesion of micropillar arrayed surface under a magnetic field but also for further precise and optimal design of such an adhesion-controllable bio-inspired surface in future practical applications.

Sodium europium silicate, NaEu9(SiO4)6O2, with apatite structure has been obtained and studied using X-ray diffraction and SEM. It has been shown that sodium sublimation does not take place upon synthesis by the sol-gel method. Rietveld refinement has revealed that sodium atoms are ordered and occupy the 4f position. O(4) atoms not related to silicate ions are placed at the centers of Eu(2) triangles. DC and AC electric conductivity and activation energy have been determined for the compound studied.

Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4, Ni0.3Cu0.2Zn0.5Fe2O4 and Ni0.4Co0.2Zn0.4Fe2O4 spinel ferrite nanofibers with 60–100 nm in diameter were fabricated through the sol-gel assisted electrospinning method, followed by calcination at 600°C for 2h in air. The phase structure morphology and element composition of these nanofibers were determined by XRD, FE-SEM and EDS. Magnetic measurements were used to justify the ferromagnetic properties of these nanofibers. Microwave absorption, which was in the range of 2-18 GHz, was studied by a vector network analyzer. The adoption of Cu2+ and Co2+ substitution was found to improve the microwave absorption in relation to non-substituted NiZn ferrite nanofibers. Reflection loss exceeding –5 dB is obtained between 11 and 18 GHz for silicon rubber composites containing 15 vol% nickel-based ferrite nanofibers with coating thicknesses of 3 mm. The results indicate that the prepared nickel-based ferrite nanofibers possess good electromagnetic wave absorption performance in the Ku band and have great potential as microwave absorber for practical applications.

Titanium dioxide nanopowders were synthesized by the diffusion controlled sol-gel process (LaMer model) and characterized by DTA-TG, XRD, and SEM. The preparedTiO2nanoparticles have uniform size and morphology, and the phase transformation kinetics of obtained material was studied by interpretation of the X-ray diffraction patterns peaks on the base of Avrami equation. The stating point of anatase-rutile phase transformation temperature in the prepared nanoparticles was found between 100 and200°C. A decreasing trend on the intensity of X-ray peaks of anatase phase was observed up to600°Cwhen the presence of the rutile phase became predominant. Results indicated that the transition kinetics of the diffusion controlled prepared nanoparticles was begun at low temperature, and it can be concluded that the nucleation and growth sites in these particles were more than other. However, it has been found that the nucleation activation energy of rutile phase was 20 kj/mol, and it is the lowest reported activation energy.

AbstractX-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and magnetic measurements as a function of applied magnetic field and temperature for In1−x MnxSb (0.05≤x≤0.2) system are reported. Magnetic measurements performed at high and small magnetic field in ZFC and FC indicate the coexistence of ferromagnetic In1−x MnxSb solid solution and two types of magnetic cluster: ferromagnetic MnSb and ferrimagnetic Mn2Sb. XPS valence band and Mn 2p core level spectra have confirmed the presence of MnSb and Mn2Sb phases. TEM images show some manganese antimonide phase microinclusions with dimension between (30–40) nm.

AbstractWe synthesized BiFe1-xMnxO3 (BFMO) for various compositions by sol gel process and thin films were deposited by spin coating on platinum Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. X-ray diffraction shows all the diffraction planes corresponding to rhombohedrally distorted perovskite BiFeO3 structure. The absence of any impurity phase in the films suggests the incorporation Mn ion preferentially to Fe site in the structure for low concentration. Magnetic measurements reveal the formation of ferromagnetic phase at room temperature with increased Mn substitution. On the other hand, ferroelectric polarization decreases with increasing Mn ion concentration. Raman studies suggest the dopant induced structural distortion.

Spinel ferrite MFe2O4 (M = Cu, Ca, Mg, Ni, etc.) nanoparticles and their composites are a new promising materialbecause they have shown great interest in the field of sensing, optoelectronics, catalysis, and solar cells due to their unique physical and chemical properties that differ from their bulk structures. Today, lots of CuFe2O4 nanomaterials have been synthesized by different methods, such as hydrothermal route and sol-gel combustion methods. Nevertheless, there are hardly any results about photocatalytic activity. For this reason, we tried to increase optical properties by preparing a composite of CuFe2O4 nanomaterials with other oxides. In this paper, a CuFe2O4@CuO magnetic composite was synthesized via an ultrasound method. The samples prepared were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance spectrpscopy (DRS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and elemental analysis (energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX)). The catalytic activity of as-synthesized CuFe2O4@CuO was evaluated using the degradation of methylene blue. Furthermore, a possible reaction mechanism was discussed. Finally, the catalyst was used for effective degradation of methylene blue (MB) in its solution, which indicated a potential for practical applications in water pollutant removal and environmental remediation.

In this experiment, we have attempted to dope Cr into ZnO nanostructure as a function of dopant concentration using sol-gel method, followed by controlled thermal annealing with some success. We have also examined the samples thus prepared with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), both theoretical and experimental, and magnetic measurements. We found that low concentration of Cr can indeed be doped in ZnO and is substitutional, occupying the tetrahedral site. However, upon increasing dopant concentration and annealing temperature, a secondary phase with Cr occupying an octahedral site precipitates out, which was evident from SEM, XRD, and NEXAFS. Ferromagnetism at room temperature was not observed in any samples, although at low Cr concentration and 400 °C processing temperature, antiferromagnetism can be seen; however, at higher concentrations or processing temperatures, the samples show only paramagnetism.

Ba Substitution

Polycrystalline samples of double layered (DL) manganite system La 1.2( Sr 1-x Ba x)1.8 Mn 2 O 7(0.0≤×≤0.4) were prepared by the sol-gel method. The anisotropic lattice expansion is observed with the substitution of Ba 2+ into Sr 2+ sites. The electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements were carried out over the temperature range 4.2 K–300 K. The substitution of Ba results in the suppression of T IM , insulator-to-metal transition temperature. A low temperature upturn of resistivity is seen in all the samples of the system, which is attributed to the spin-glass-like transition. The conduction mechanism above T IM is explained by Mott variable range hopping (VRH) mechanism. The variation of MR with temperature and applied magnetic field is discussed. From the temperature dependent MR curves, it is observed that the large MR values are present over a wide temperature range and the maximum MR values occur at [Formula: see text]. The x=0.4 sample exhibits ~31% of MR with the application of a mere 0.4 T field at 5 K, which accounts for ~35% enhancement of MR of parent compound (~23% of MR% at 0.4 T at 5 K). The MR — H data is fitted to the power law ρ = ρ0-αHn, and it is found that the low temperature MR varies as square root of the applied magnetic field, as expected in conventional metals.
