AbstractTransition metal oxides (TMOs) are an important class of materials that show a wide range of functionalities involving spin, charge, and lattice degrees of freedom. The strong correlation between electrons in d-orbitals and the multivalence nature give rise to a variety of exotic electronic states ranging from insulator to superconductor and cause intriguing phase competition phenomena. Despite a burst of research on the multifarious functionalities in TMOs, little attention has been paid to the formation and integration of an electret—a type of quasi-permanent electric field generator useful for nanoscale functional devices as an electric counterpart to permanent magnets. Here, we find that an electret can be created in LaMnO3 thin films by tip-induced electric fields, with a considerable surface height change, via solid-state electrochemical amorphization. The surface charge density of the formed electret area reaches ~400 nC cm−2 and persists without significant charge reduction for more than a year. The temporal evolution of the surface height, charge density, and electric potential are systematically examined by scanning probe microscopy. The underlying mechanism is theoretically analyzed based on a drift-diffusion-reaction model, suggesting that positively charged particles, which are likely protons produced by the dissociation of water, play crucial roles as trapped charges and a catalysis to trigger amorphization. Our finding opens a new horizon for multifunctional TMOs.

It has been known for a long time that electron irradiation induces damage in maximal valence transition metal oxides such as TiO2, V2O5, and WO3, of which transition metal ions have an empty d-shell. This type of damage is excited by electronic transition and can be explained by the Knoteck-Feibelman mechanism (K-F mechanism). Although the K-F mechanism predicts that no damage should occur in transition metal oxides of which the transition metal ions have a partially filled d-shell, namely submaximal valence transition metal oxides, our recent study on ReO3 shows that submaximal valence transition metal oxides undergo damage during electron irradiation.ReO3 has a nearly cubic structure and contains a single unit in its cell: a = 3.73 Å, and α = 89°34'. TEM specimens were prepared by depositing dry powders onto a holey carbon film supported on a copper grid. Specimens were examined in Hitachi H-9000 and UHV H-9000 electron microscopes both operated at 300 keV accelerating voltage. The electron beam flux was maintained at about 10 A/cm2 during the observation.

Rapidly Solidified

The discovery of a new class of permanent magnets based on Nd2Fe14B phase in the last decade has led to intense research and development efforts aimed at commercial exploitation of the new alloy. The material can be prepared either by rapid solidification or by powder metallurgy techniques and the resulting microstructures are very different. This paper details the microstructure of Nd-Fe-B magnets produced by melt-spinning.In melt spinning, quench rate can be varied easily by changing the rate of rotation of the quench wheel. There is an optimum quench rate when the material shows maximum magnetic hardening. For faster or slower quench rates, both coercivity and maximum energy product of the material fall off. These results can be directly related to the changes in the microstructure of the melt-spun ribbon as a function of quench rate. Figure 1 shows the microstructure of (a) an overquenched and (b) an optimally quenched ribbon. In Fig. 1(a), the material is nearly amorphous, with small nuclei of Nd2Fe14B grains visible and in Fig. 1(b) the microstructure consists of equiaxed Nd2Fe14B grains surrounded by a thin noncrystalline Nd-rich phase. Fig. 1(c) shows an annular dark field image of the intergranular phase. Nd enrichment in this phase is shown in the EDX spectra in Fig. 2.

Beam Instabilities

Oxygen-bearing minerals are generally strong insulators (e.g. silicates), or if not (e.g. transition metal oxides), they are included within a rock matrix which electrically isolates them from the sample holder contacts. In this respect, a thin carbon layer (150 Å in our laboratory) is evaporated on the sections in order to restore the conductivity. For silicates, overestimated oxygen concentrations are usually noted when transition metal oxides are used as standards. These trends corroborate the results of Bastin and Heijligers on MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2. According to our experiments, these errors are independent of the accelerating voltage used (fig.l).Owing to the low density of preexisting defects within the Al2O3 single-crystal, no significant charge buildup occurs under irradiation at low accelerating voltage (< 10keV). As a consequence, neither beam instabilities, due to electrical discharges within the excited volume, nor losses of energy for beam electrons before striking the sample, due to the presence of the electrostatic charge-induced potential, are noted : measurements from both coated and uncoated samples give comparable results which demonstrates that the carbon coating is not the cause of the observed errors.

Magnetization reversal in sintered Fe-Nd-B, a complex, multiphase material, occurs by nucleation and growth of reverse domains making the isolation of the ferromagnetic Fe14Nd2B grains by other nonmagnetic phases crucial. The magnets used in this study were slightly rich in Nd (in comparison to Fe14Nd2B) to promote the formation of Nd-oxides at multigrain junctions and incorporated Dy80Al20 as a liquid phase sintering addition. Dy has been shown to increase the domain wall energy thus making nucleation more difficult while Al is thought to improve the wettability of the Nd-oxide phases.Bulk polished samples were examined in a JEOL 35CF scanning electron microscope (SEM) operated at 30keV equipped with a Be window energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) detector in order to determine the phase distribution.

Intermetallic compounds of the type RE2Fe17Cx (RE= rare earth element) are promising candidates for permanent magnets. In case of Y2Fe17Cx, the Curie temperature increases from 325 K for x =0 to 550 K for x = 1.6 . X ray and electron diffraction reveal a carbon - induced structural transformation in Y2Fe17Cx from the hexagonal Th2Ni17 - type (x < 0.6 ) to the rhombohedral Th2Zn17 - type ( x ≥ 0.6). Planar crystal defects introduce local sheets of different magnetic anisotropy as compared with the ordered structure, and therefore may have an important impact on the coercivivity mechanism .High resolution electron microscopy ( HREM ) on a Philips CM30 / Super Twin has been used to characterize planar crystal defects in rhombohedral Y2Fe17Cx ( x ≥ 0.6 ). The basal plane stacking sequences are imaged in the [100] - orientation, showing an ABC or ACB sequence of Y - atoms and Fe2 - dumbbells, for both coaxial twin variants, respectively . Compounds resulting from a 3 - week annealing treatment at high temperature ( Ta = 1000 - 1100°C ) contain a high density of planar defects.

Magnetic Suspension System

This paper proposes a new type of noncontact magnetic suspension system using two permanent magnets driven by rotary actuators. The paper aims to explain the proposed concept, configuration of the suspension system, and basic analyses for feasibility by FEM analyses. Two bar-shaped permanent magnets are installed as they are driven by rotary actuators independently. Attractive forces of two magnets act on the iron ball which is located under the magnets. Control of the angles of two magnets can suspend the iron ball stably without mechanical contact and changes the position of the ball. FEM analyses have been carried out for the arrangement of two permanent magnets and forces are simulated for noncontact suspension. Hence, successfully the required enough force against the gravity of the iron ball can be generated and controlled. Control of the horizontal force is also confirmed by the rotation of the permanent magnets.
