Abstract This work explores the temperature and field-dependent magnetic properties of Bi2SiO5 (BSO)/multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposites prepared by hydrothermal method using different content of magnetic MWCNT (from 1 to 20 wt%). A pure BSO prepared by the same method was also studied as a reference. Phase purity and structure of the pure BSO and CBSO nanocomposites were analyzed by employing the Rietveld refinement of an X-ray diffraction pattern. DC magnetization analysis confirms the co-existence of multiple magnetic phases in CBSO nanocomposites, where a paramagnetic (PM) to ferromagnetic (FM) transition experiences at ~33 K, and a cluster spin glass behavior at near Curie temperature (i.e., TC ~25 K). A weak superconducting transition (TSC) at around ~23 K was observed for all the CBSO nanocomposites samples (i.e., 2.5 wt% MWCNT and above samples). Moreover, a novel feature of these nanocomposites is that they exhibit a complex magnetism corresponding to the co-existence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity. This behavior can be exploited to engineer a magnetic CBSO composites system with the magnetic transition tune by compositional structure, with interesting potential applications.

Fe3O4 multi-granule nanocluster–multiwall carbon nanotube composites for microwave absorbing applications are fabricated by the surface-engineered tape-casting method. The multi-granule nanoclusters are synthesized by a modified polyol hydrothermal method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometer. The complex permittivity and permeability of the composites with different granule size of nanoclusters are characterized in X-band range with the reflection method. The absorption peak of the composites are shifted from 11.1[Formula: see text]GHz to 11.51[Formula: see text]GHz as granule size increased from 18[Formula: see text]nm to 35[Formula: see text]nm.

Ferromagnetic Ordering

ABSTRACTPolycrystalline β-Ga2O3 doped with Fe3+, (Ga1−x Fex)2O3 (x=0.02, 0.05, 0.08 and 0.1), has been prepared by a solid-state reaction. Ferromagnetic ordering is observed at room temperature for samples prepared by β-Ga2O3 and Fe(NO3)3·9H2O and sintered at low temperatures below 900 °C, while the sintering at temperatures above 900 °C leads to the paramagnetic behavior. X-ray diffraction analysis for the samples sintered at 500 °C reveals that the single phase of β-Ga2O3 can be obtained up to x=0.08 without traces of secondary phase or other impurity. Magnetization as a function of temperature shows superparamagnetic or cluster spin-glass behavior, indicating that long-range ferromagnetic ordering does not exist in the present systems. It is suggested that the inhomogeneous distribution of Fe3+ is responsible for the ferromagnetic behavior.

In this paper, multiwall carbon nanotube-ZnO (MWCNT/ZnO) was melt-blended with polyethylene (PE) by a Haake-Buchler Rheomixer. The mechanical properties, thermal stability and dispersion degree of the composite materials was characterized. Differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis, thermogravimetry, tensile test and SEM were carried out. The results showed that with the addition of MWCNT/ZnO, the crystallinity and thermal degradation temperature of PE changed. 0.2phr MWCNT/ZnO/PE exhibited crystallinity that was 10% higher than PE. With the addition of MWCNT/ZnO, the tensile strength of PE decreased gradually, but the elongation at break increased first and then decreased. When MWCNT/ZnO content is 0.2phr, the elongation at break of the composite is close to 532.21%, which is 116% higher than that of pure PE.

Multiwall Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are frequently attractive due to their novel physical and chemical characteristics, as well as their larger aspect ratio and higher conductivity. Therefore, MWCNTs can allow tremendous possibilities for the improvement of the necessarily unique composite materials system. The present work deals with the fabrication of Cu-Fe/CNTs hybrid composites manufactured by powder metallurgy techniques. Copper powder with 10 vol. % of iron powder and different volume fractions of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) were mixed to get hybrid composites. The hybrid composites were fabricated by adding 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2 vol.% of MWCNTs to Cu- 10% Fe mixture using a mechanical mixer. The samples were compressed under a load of 700 MPa using a hydraulic press to compact the samples. Sintering was done at 900°C for 2 h at 5ºC/min heating rate. The microscopic structure was studied using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The effect of CNTs on the mechanical and wear properties, such as micro-hardness, dry sliding wear, density, and porosity were studied in detail. The wear tests were carried out at a fixed time of 20 minutes while the applied loads were varied (5, 10, 15, and 20 N). SEM images revealed that CNTs were uniformly distributed with relative agglomeration within the Cu/Fe matrix. The results showed that the hardness, density, and wear rates decreased while the percentage of porosity increased with increasing the CNT volume fraction. Furthermore, the wear rate for all the CNTs contents increased with the applied load.

Surfaces functionalized with metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of great interest due to their wide potential applications in sensing, biomedicine, nanophotonics, etc. However, the precisely controllable decoration with plasmonic nanoparticles requires sophisticated techniques that are often multistep and complex. Here, we present a laser-induced deposition (LID) approach allowing for single-step surface decoration with NPs of controllable composition, morphology, and spatial distribution. The formation of Ag, Pt, and mixed Ag-Pt nanoparticles on a substrate surface was successfully demonstrated as a result of the LID process from commercially available precursors. The deposited nanoparticles were characterized with SEM, TEM, EDX, X-ray diffraction, and UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy, which confirmed the formation of crystalline nanoparticles of Pt (3–5 nm) and Ag (ca. 100 nm) with plasmonic properties. The advantageous features of the LID process allow us to demonstrate the spatially selective deposition of plasmonic NPs in a laser interference pattern, and thereby, the formation of periodic arrays of Ag NPs forming diffraction grating

We report on structural and superconducting properties of La3-xRxNi2B2N3- where La is substituted by the magnetic rare-earth elements Ce, Pr, Nd. The compounds Pr3Ni2B2N3- and Nd3Ni2B2N3- are characterized for the first time. Powder X-ray diffraction confirmed all samples R3Ni2B2N3- with R = La, Ce, Pr, Nd and their solid solutions to crystallize in the body centered tetragonal La3Ni2B2N3 structure type. Superconducting and magnetic properties of La3-xRxNi2B2N3- were studied by resistivity, specific heat and susceptibility measurements. While La3Ni2B2N3- has a superconducting transition temperature Tc ~ 14 K, substitution of La by Ce, Pr, and Nd leads to magnetic pair breaking and, thus, to a gradual suppression of superconductivity. Pr3Ni2B2N3- exibits no long range magnetic order down to 2 K, Nd3Ni2B2N3- shows ferrimagnetic ordering below TC =17 K and a spin reorientation transition to a nearly antiferromagnetic state at 10 K.
