Magnetic and magnetostrictive properties of tape casted free standing NZFO thick films and its composite with piezoelectric phase

An infiltration and growth process has been developed to produce single-domain Yba2Cu3Oy(123) as thick films on various substrates or as self-supporting fabrics. Commercially available Y2O3 cloths of square woven or satin woven structure were infiltrated with liquid phases from a suitable source containing barium cuprates and copper oxides and subsequently converted into Y2BaCuO5(211) and −123 phases by a series of distinct peritectic reactions. Depending on the final form of 123, the Y2O3 cloth was either clamped firmly at corners to produce a self-supporting 123 fabric or placed on a suitable substrate to result in a thick film coating of 123. The source material for the liquid phase being in the form of solid blocks was placed at corners of the cloth in the case of free-standing 123 fabrics. In case of the thick film configuration the liquid phase powder was spread on the surface of the Y2O3 cloth. A small c-axis-oriented MgO or Nd(123) seed was used to generate an oriented 123 domain in the infiltrated fabric. The solidification process was optimized to transform the entire Y2O3 fabric into a single-domain 123. The microstructure of the single domain was optimized in terms of 211 size and content for high Jc. A detailed description of the process, the growth mechanism, the resulting microstructures was given, and basic superconducting properties of the new form of 123 are briefly discussed.

Intended Use

It was shown in the previous decade that pure-iron has a large potential as a biodegradable medical implant material. It is necessary to tailor the material properties according to the intended use of the device. It is of great interest to investigate not only the influence of processing on the material properties but also alternative fabrication methods. In this work for the first time magnetron sputtering in combination with UV lithography was used to fabricate free standing, patterned pure-iron thick films. For the intended use as biodegradable implant material free standing thick films were characterized in terms of microstructure, degradation performance, and mechanical properties before and after various heat treatments. The influence of microstructural changes on the degradation behavior was determined by linear polarization measurements. The mechanical properties were characterized by tensile tests. Microstructure, surface, and composition were investigated by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The foils exhibited a preferential orientation in110direction and a fine grained structure. Furthermore they showed a higher strength compared to cast iron and corrosion rates in the range of 0.1 mm/year. Their mechanical properties were tuned by grain coarsening resulting in a slight increase of the degradation rate.
