ABSTRACTCo EXAFS data for these Co/Ag multilayers exhibit no changes in basic form and obey a simple scaling with Co thickness down to 6Å. Over this same thickness range the giant magnetoresistance and the manner in which magnetization approaches saturation change substantially. These results indicate that local structural changes do not play a significant role in altering the magnetic properties of this multilayer system.

A novel means of producing copper-based powder metallurgy wire containing sufficient iron in particulate form to impart useful magnetic properties has been investigated. The method, which involves encapsulating a powder mixture within a copper tube prior to rolling and die-drawing operations, has been successfully used to produce composite wire of diameter range 1.8-0.4 mm. Particular attention has been paid to the effect of composition, processing strain, heat treatment and iron particle size on the electrical, mechanical and magnetic properties of the wire. Microscopy studies have also been carried out to determine structural changes in the material during processing. It was found that the good conductivity and ductility of solid copper wire was not greatly reduced provided (a) the iron content of the composite wire was kept fairly low (<6 per cent) and (b) the annealing temperature was not sufficiently high for significant alloying to take place (650°C maximum). Saturation magnetization values increased with increasing process strain, as did the magnetic hardness. The latter, however, could be minimized by fully annealing the iron after processing the wire. The magnetic properties were undoubtedly influenced by the size and shape of the iron particles, smaller particles being more easily elongated and tending to give greater magnetic hardness.

The effect of cobalt doping on the magnetic properties of Mn1− x Co x Fe2O4 nanoparticles was investigated. All samples consist of ensembles of nanoparticles with a spherical shape and average diameter of about 10 nm, showing small structural changes due to the substitution. Besides having the same morpho-structural properties, the effect of the chemical composition, i.e., the amount of Co doping, produces marked differences on the magnetic properties, especially on the magnetic anisotropy, with evident large changes in the coercive field. Moreover, Co substitution has a profound effect on the interparticle interactions, too. A dipolar-based interaction regime is detected for all samples; in addition, the intensity of the interactions shows a possible relation with the single particle anisotropy. Finally, the sample with the strongest interaction regime shows a superspin glass state confirmed by memory effect dynamics.

Fe–Ni–Si–B metallic glasses have been annealed and crystallized using short electrical current pulses. Two types of electrical heat treatment have been used. The first one is an isothermal annealing treatment using a very high initial heating rate while the second one is a thermal spike applied on an amorphous sample held at various initial temperatures. The microstructure of the alloys after heat treatment has been characterized by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The thermal and magnetic properties of the samples measured by DSC and hysteresis loop tracer have been studied after the various heat treatments and correlated with the microstructure of the alloys. The crystallization at high temperatures produces the gamma phase only, while at low temperatures, a mixture of the gamma and alpha phases (the alpha phase being predominant) is usually observed. The samples initially held at liquid nitrogen temperature and heat treated with a thermal spike remain amorphous and show improved magnetic properties (lower coercive field and higher induction at saturation) without loss of ductility.

We have investigated the Ca -doping effects on the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of ( Pb 0.5 Cu 0.5) Sr 2( Pr 1-x Ca x Cu 2 O z( x =0-0.5) bulk ceramic samples. The electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power and magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that the Ca doping introduces holes into the system and thereby superconductivity with onset T c, of about 36 K is induced for a phase with x =0.5. These results are discussed in conjunction with the roles of hole doping, structural changes and Pr - O hybridization in CuO 2 layers.

The effect of heat treatment on mechanical prosperities of Mg65Cu25Gd10 glass has been studied in this paper. The thermal stability and the structure of as-spun and heat treated Mg65Cu25Gd10 alloys were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The compression tests were performed using a computer controlled tensile test machine. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) was applied to study the structural changes of Mg65Cu25Gd10 glass during annealing. Results showed that the decline of mechanical properties for Mg65Cu25Gd10 glass after annealing was closely related to the changes in local environment of Cu atoms and appearance of crystalline phases, and not the Gd local structure.

Nanocrystalline Bi1-xMnxFeO3  (0≤x≤0.3) materials were synthesized using sol-gel technique. The structural and magnetic properties were investigated in detail. Rietveld analysis from XRD revealed the structural formation of BiFeO3. As the Mn doping concentration was increased, the structure of BiFeO3 changed from rhombohedral to tetragonal. All the M-H loops showed the ferromagnetic behavior in the prepared samples. Magnetization was observed to enhance as the Mn doping concentration was increased. The enhanced magnetization may be due to the collapse of the space modulated spin structure as observed from the structural changes.
