ABSTRACTFerromagnetic properties and nanocrystallization process of soft ferromagnetic (Fe0.99Mo0.01)78Si9B13 ribbons are studied by transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS), differential scanning calorimeters (DSC) and magnetization measurements. The Curie and crystallization temperature are determined to be TC=665K and Tx = 750K, respectively. The Tx value is in well agreement with DSC measurement results. X-ray diffraction patterns had shown a good reconfirm of two metastable phases (Fe23B6, Fe3B) were formed under in-situ nanocrystallization process. Of which these metastable phases embedded in the amorphous matrix have a significant effect on magnetic ordering. The ultimate nanocrystalline phases of α-Fe (Mo, Si) and Fe2B at optimum annealing temperature had been observed respectively. It is notable that the magnetization of the amorphous phase decreases more rapidly with increasing temperature than those of nanocrystalline ferromagnetism, suggesting the presence of the distribution of exchange interaction in the amorphous phase or high metalloid contents.

ABSTRACTIn this work the change in the structural properties of cassava (manihot sculenta Crantz) thermoplastic starch (TPS) under controlled environment (humidity and temperature) was studied. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed an evident increasing in the amorphous phase of the TPS regarding the native starch. There was a relative decrease of the band at 1047 cm-1 associated to crystalline structure of starch compared to the amorphous peak at 1022 cm-1. The X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the increment of the amorphous phase in the TPS samples. Likewise the X-ray diffraction patterns shows evidence of residual type C crystallinity and the formation of a new crystalline phase type VH due to the orientation induced in plasticization process. In first stage of conditioning the tensile yield stress drops from 7.5 drops to 0.5 MPa and the break strain increases 1000%. At the same time it seems that the crystallinity of the samples increases as was evidenced by the gradually increasing of the FTIR band at 1047 cm-1. In a second stage, the yield stress increases, the break strain drops and the crystallinity continue growing steadily. These findings suggest that coexist two phenomena simultaneously in the samples. A phenomenon of re-crystallization (retrogradation) that tends to make the material more stiff and a process of plasticization that tends to softening it. It seems that the latter mechanism predominates in the first stage, at short times, and the former in the second stage, at older times.

Nominal compositions of Ni x Ti 1-x Fe 2 O 5-δ (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1) were prepared by a solid state reaction using stoichiometric amounts of Fe 2 O 3/ TiO 2 system and NiO as a dopant. The effects of small substitution of Ni ions on the electrical and structural properties were studied for the above system. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the ferroelectric phase of iron titanate and the spinel ferrite phase of Ni -ferrite having a single phase at x = 0 and 1, respectively. The substitution of Ni ions increases the average value of lattice constant aav. Solid–solid interaction took place between the ternary oxides at 1200°C for 4 h yielding a new phase of NiTiO 3. The presence of the three phases was confirmed by X-ray diffraction technique. The resultant compositions have nanocrystallites with average crystalline size "D av " in the range 100–300 nm. The DC electrical resistivity ρ, Curie temperature TC and activation energies for electric conduction around TC region increase as Ni ion substitution increases. The ferrite samples have a semiconductor behavior where electrical resistivity ρ decreases on increasing temperature. The activation energy for electrical conduction was affected by both the ratio "ferroelectric/ferrite" and the position of the Curie temperatures in the compositions depending on the ( Ni , Ti ) to Fe ratio.

The structure, magnetic and magnetotransport properties of perovskite Sr0.9Y0.1CoO2.63are studied. It is shown that the sample is structurally two-phase. The main phase has a tetragonal-distorted unit cell and is described by the spatial group I4/mmm. The broadening of the reflexes with indexes corresponding to a doubling of the parameter from the unit cell indicates that there is no strict translational symmetry along the с-axis. The presence of a broadened superstructural reflex observed at small angles on X-ray diffraction patterns at temperatures below 400 K is due to the monoclinic phase, whose content is much smaller than the tetragonal phase. Spontaneous magnetization appears during the formation of the monoclinic phase. The magnetic structure is predominantly an antiferromagnetic G-type structure with magnetic moments of 1.5µBin the layers of CoO6octahedra and 2µBin the anion-deficient CoO4+γlayers. The electrical conductivity of Sr0.9Y0.1CoO2.63has a semiconductor in character. The magnetoresistance reaches 57 % in a field of 14 T at a temperature of 5 K and decreases strongly with increasing temperature.

Abstract M-type hexaferrites has attracted researchers due to their ordinary magnetic properties and utilization as media for magnetic recording and microwave devices. In this study we have synthesized Ba0.5Sr0.5Fe9Ce1Al2O19 via conventional ceramic route. The synthesized material is treated against different temperatures and investigated structurally and magnetically by using several techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, and VSM respectively. Morphology of samples confirms the absence of secondary phases and uniform distribution of particles. X-ray diffraction patterns confirms the formation of pure phase of Hexaferrites. Microstructural analyses show the decrease in porosity and dislocations among sintered samples. Magnetic properties for the samples show a decrease in Ms and Mr with increasing temperature from 1225 °C to 1310 °C, while coercivity shows an increase with increasing temperature and maximum coercivity is observed at 1290 °C. The trends and occurrences can be well-linked to the structural variations and sintering effects. The results suggest that material can be used in various magnetic applications such as Recording media, and memory devices.

ABSTRACTThe amorphous state of ferromagnetic Fe78Si9B13 (Metglas 2605S-2) and its nanocrystallization were investigated by in situ transmission electron microscope (TEM), Xray diffraction (XRD), Mossbauer spectroscopy (MS), differential scanning calorimeters (DSC) and magnetic moment measurements. The Mössbauer spectrum exhibited an essentially symmetric hyperfine field pattern of 259KOe in as-quenched amorphous state at room temperature. The Curie and crystallization temperature were determined to be Tc=708K and Tx= 803K, respectively. The Tx value was in good agreement with DSC measurement results. The occupied fraction of the nanocrystalline phases of α-Fe(Si) and Fe2B at in situ optimum annealing temperature was about 57% and 43%, respectively. It is notable that the magnetization of the amorphous phase decreases more rapidly with increasing temperature than those of nanocrystalline ferromagnetism, suggesting the presence of the distribution of exchange interaction in the amorphous phase or high metalloid contents.

Chemical co-precipitation method was used to prepare Gd2Zr2O7 powders. The powders were then heated in air at 1500°C, 1510°C, 1525°C, 1530°C, 1550°C, 1575°C, 1600°C for 5 h, and 1575°C, 1600°C for 10 h, respectively. The samples after heat treatment were characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that order-disorder transition of Gd2Zr2O7 occurs between 1550°C and 1575°C. Prior to the transition, the relative intensity of peaks corresponding to the super-lattice of pyrochlores increases with the increasing temperature. On the other hand, Raman spectra give an inconsistent result from the X-ray diffraction data. No appreciable difference can be observed for all the samples though with peaks broadening as temperature increases. The spectra of the samples indicated as fluorite structure in X-ray diffraction patterns appear with six resolvable peaks which is quite different from the spectrum of ideal fluorite structure.

ABSTRACTDiffraction patterns of carbon fibers have been recorded photographically using monochromatized MoKα radiation. <001> and <hk0> reflections are observed for fibers pyrolyzed at lower temperatures. The absence of <hkl> reflections suggests that the graphite planes are turbostratic. A three-dimensional structural transition is manifest in the appearance of <hkl> reflections. The results suggest that the degree of three dimensionality increases progressively through the sample as a function of increasing temperature of pyrolysis. There is no evidence for coexistence of three dimensional and tubostratic phases. It is further demonstrated that turbostratic carbon fibers may be intercalated to stage two with AsF5.

A coarse-grained tetragonal sigma phase Fe47.4V52.6 at% alloy was ground in vacuum in a vibratory mill. The sigma phase transforms into a bcc alpha phase. A concomitant partial amorphisation of the bcc phase occurs. The near-equiatomic FeV alloys are concluded to behave in the same way as the related FeCr alloys when they are ball-milled in vacuum in similar milling conditions. From Mössbauer spectra, it is concluded that about half of the iron atoms are contained in the amorphous phase in the stationary state. From X-ray diffraction patterns there is also a clear evidence of amorphisation, not seen in previously published studies.

Zn-Sb based composite thin films have been prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering using a Zn4Sb3 compound target followed by thermal annealing. Sample structure and surface morphology were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The electrical properties of the films were studied by Hall measurements. The X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that the intensity of diffraction peak of ZnSb phase is enhanced as temperature increasing. Results of AFM shows the rms roughness is getting big with increasing temperature due to the growing crystal grains. Hall measurements indicate that the Zn-Sb composite thin films annealed at different temperatures are p-type conducting with carrier concentrations being on the order of 1019 cm-3.

Freeze-etching electron microscopy is currently one of the best methods for studying molecular organization of biological materials. Its application, however, is still limited by our imprecise knowledge about the perturbations of the original organization which may occur during quenching and fracturing of the samples and during the replication of fractured surfaces. Although it is well known that the preservation of the molecular organization of biological materials is critically dependent on the rate of freezing of the samples, little information is presently available concerning the nature and the extent of freezing-rate dependent perturbations of the original organizations. In order to obtain this information, we have developed a method based on the comparison of x-ray diffraction patterns of samples before and after freezing, prior to fracturing and replication.Our experimental set-up is shown in Fig. 1. The sample to be quenched is placed on its holder which is then mounted on a small metal holder (O) fixed on a glass capillary (p), whose position is controlled by a micromanipulator.
