Finite strain theory is used to obtain expressions for the change in various measured elastic constants as a function of applied magnetic field for cubic ferromagnets. Using available data on magnetic anisotropy and magnetostriction, estimates are given for the size of effects that may be expected to be observed in the rare earth – iron cubic Laves phase compounds RFe2 (R = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm). The fractional changes in the measured elastic constants for transverse waves are expected to be as large as 10−2 at room temperature.

AbstractGaN films were implanted with Er and Eu ions and rapid thermal annealing was performed at 1000, 1100 and 1200 °C in vacuum, in flowing nitrogen gas or a mixture of NH3 and N2. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry in the channeling mode was used to study the evolution of damage introduction and recovery in the Ga sublattice and to monitor the rare earth profiles after annealing. The surface morphology of the samples was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and the optical properties by room temperature cathodoluminescence (CL). Samples annealed in vacuum and N2 already show the first signs of surface dissociation at 1000 °C. At higher temperature, Ga droplets form at the surface. However, samples annealed in NH3 + N2 exhibit a very good recovery of the lattice along with a smooth surface. These samples also show the strongest CL intensity for the rare earth related emissions in the green (for Er) and red (for Eu). After annealing at 1200 °C in NH3+N2 the Eu implanted sample reveals the channeling qualities of an unimplanted sample and a strong increase of CL intensity is observed.

Adducts [( dmso )nLn(O2NO)3], obtained by the crystallizatior , of lanthanoid (III) nitrate ( Ln (NO3)3.-xH2O) with excess dimethyl sulfoxide (' dmso ') in methanol or ethanol, have been the subject of a series of room-temperature single-crystal X-ray studies, defining more clearly the manner in which stoichiometry and structure systematically vary with change in metal ion radius. All complexes studied are mononuclear, the metal ion being complexed by three bidentate nitrate ligands and a number of dmso ligands , four for La-Sm and three beyond. The array La- Sm is monoclinic C2/c, a ≈ 14.9, b ≈ 15.5, c ≈ 15.5 Ǻ, β ≈ 108.4°, Z = 4 f.u .; the metal atom is disposed on a crystallographic 2 axis, which also passes through one of the nitrate groups. The series Eu -Tm (inclusive also of Y) is monoclinic, P21/n, a ≈ 11.5, b ≈ 12.7, c ≈ 13.6 Ǻ, β ≈ 100°, Z = 4 f.u ., while Yb and Lu are also monoclinic, P21/c, a ≈ 10.0, b ≈ 12.6, c ≈ 16 Ǻ, β ≈ 100.6°, Z = 4 f.u.
