ABSTRACTThree families of NixZry (x = 28, 36, 38, x + y = 100%) metallic glasses were prepared and examined using X-ray, temperature dependent transport and magnetic field. X-ray characterization shows characteristic diffuse spectrum, except for narrow regions of control samples, where partial crystallization was induced in finite small volumes. Magnetic properties confirm spin-fluctuating paramagnetic-like behavior, which we asses from preliminary Hall coefficient measurements, which is quantitatively different in three sample families. Temperature dependent AC and DC transport measurements were conducted in a broad temperature range from 70 K to 700 K, finding both quantitative and semi-qualitative differences between samples with different Ni/Zr ratio.

Samples of EuRu4B4 and of the new boride EuRuB4 were prepared from europium, RuB, and RuB4 precursor alloys, respectively, in sealed tantalum tubes in an induction furnace. EuRu4B4 crystallizes with the LuRu4B4 structure, a = 748.1(1), c = 1502.3(4) pm. The structure of EuRuB4 was refined on the basis of X-ray diffractometer data: Pbam, a = 599.7(1), b = 1160.7(3), c = 358.06(7) pm, wR2 = 0.0691, 474 F2 values, and 38 variables. The four crystallographically independent boron sites build up layers which consist of almost regular pentagons and heptagons which sandwich the ruthenium and europium atoms, respectively. Within the two-dimensional [B4] networks each boron atom has a slightly distorted trigonal-planar boron coordination with B-B distances in the range 172 - 186 pm. Temperature-dependent 151Eu Mössbauer spectra show stable trivalent europium for EuRu4B4 and EuRuB4

This paper presents results and discussion from a comprehensive morphological and crystallographic characterization of nickel nanowires synthesized by template-based electrodeposition method. In particular, the influence of magnetic and electric field (current density) conditions during the synthesis of nickel nanowires was studied. The structure and morphology of the synthesized nanowires were studied using Helium ion microscopy (HIM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. The HIM provided higher quality data and resolution compared to conventional SEM imaging. The crystallographic properties of the grown nanowires were also studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results clearly indicated that the morphological and crystallographic properties of synthesized nickel nanowires were strongly influenced by the applied magnetic field and current density intensity during the synthesis process.

ABSTRACTThe compounds La1−xBaxTiO3 (0 ≤ × ≤ 1) have been prepared by arc melting stoichiometric amounts of LaTiO3 and BaTiO3. Single phase samples can be made for the entire stoichiometry range. The polycrystalline samples have been characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility. This series of compounds has been studied as a possible candidate for an early transition metal superconductor.

We present an experimental investigation of the structural and magnetic properties of Ho3SbO7 and Dy3SbO7. These compounds adopt the Y3TaO7 structure, space group C2221. The magnetic rare-earth ions occupy an intricate lattice related to the pyrochlore lattice that occurs in Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7. The crystal structure of Ho3SbO7 is determined by Rietveld refinement of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern at ambient temperature, and that of the Dy analogue is inferred to be similar. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that Ho3SbO7 and Dy3SbO7 have negative Curie–Weiss temperatures: –8.4 K (Ho) and –9.2 K (Dy). Magnetic transitions have been detected at 2.0 K (Ho) and 3.0 K (Dy). We discuss the results in terms of the ``dipolar spin ice model'' that has been used to describe Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7.

A new complex phosphate K1.84Fe1.42Nb0.58(PO4)3 has been synthesized by the self-flux technique. The X-ray single crystal structure and magnetic properties were studied. The compound crystallizes in the cubic system with space group P213 (a = 9.9404(10) Å ) and belongs to the langbeinite structure type. The structure contains [M2P3O18] building units. “Closed” fragments [M8P9O60] provide space for location of two potassium atoms. Antiferromagnetic interactions were detected at low temperatures which originate from superexchange through a M(1)-O-P-O-M(2) pathway with corresponding J = −5.5(1) cm−1. The relationship between the UV/vis absorption and the structure is discussed.
