ABSTRACTRecent research [1–3] suggests that strain-induced ferromagnetism in lightly-strained FeAl arises chiefly from anti-phase boundary tubes. Magnetic and calorimetric measurements have been performed on two different orientations of B2-structured Fe-40Al single crystals that had been cold rolled to a variety of strains. The saturation magnetization and magnetic susceptibility are related to the enthalpy associated with the annealing out of antiphase boundary tubes and, hence, to the degree of deformation and crystal orientation.

In the ferroelectric Bi4Ti3O12, the major componentPs(a)of spontaneous polarizationPslies along theaaxis; the componentPs(c)along thecaxis is small. The two switchable components are expected to make up various types of domain walls (DWs). According to group-theory analysis, 11 permissible types of DWs are predicted to exist theoretically, and they include five types of ferroelectric DWs, one type of anti-phase boundary (APB) and five types of APB-combined ferroelectric DWs. The five types of ferroelectric DWs arePs(a)-90° DWs,Ps(a)-180° DWs,Ps(c)-180° DWs,Ps(a)-90°/Ps(c)-180° DWs andPs-180° DWs. In Bi4Ti3O12single crystals, just the five types of ferroelectric DWs were observed using transmission electron microscopy, with no trace of APBs or APB-combined ferroelectric DWs seen. ThePs(a)-90° domains are lamellar and do not have even thickness. Both thePs(a)-90° DWs andPs(a)-90°/Ps(c)-180° DWs lie mainly on the (110) plane, but often fold to the (001) plane. ThePs(a)-180° domains are predominantly flaky. Both thePs(a)-180° DWs andPs-180° DWs lie mainly on the (001) plane. ThePs(c)-180° DWs observed are irregularly curved.

D03-ordered Fe3Al single crystals containing 23, 25 and 28at.%Al were cyclically deformed at [ 49 1 ] loading axis in tension-compression mode. Giant pseudoelasticity took place in Fe-23 and 25at.%Al single crystals at an early stage of cyclic deformation, while a slight strain recovery was observed in Fe-28at.%Al. In Fe-23 and 25at.%Al single crystals, superpartial dislocations with Burgers vector of 1/4[111] moved individually dragging the nearest neighbour anti-phase boundary (NNAPB). The NNAPB pulled back the superpartials during unloading, resulting in giant pseudoelasticity and low residual dislocation density. In contrast, a couplet of the superpartials was observed to bow out leaving two superpartials in Fe-28at.%Al. This means that the dislocation couplet dragged the next-nearest neighbour anti-phase boundary (NNNAPB). The surface tension of NNNAPB is lower than that of NNAPB resulting in a slight strain recovery in Fe-28at%Al. As cyclic deformation proceeded, residual dislocation density increased with an increase in the number of cycles even in Fe-23 and 25at.%Al. In particular, persistent slip bands (PSB) were formed in Fe-23at.%Al single crystals, though PSB is seldom observed in fatigued intermetallic compounds. To-and-fro motion of superpartials during loading and unloading was suppressed by dislocation bundles, resulting in a reduced shape recovery. However, large strain recovery occurred in Fe-25at.%Al single crystals at a strain amplitude of 1.0% even at 20cycles. It was also noted that Fe-23 and 25at.%Al demonstrated tension-compression asymmetry even at [ 49 1 ] orientation; the yield stress in compression was higher than that in tension. This implies that the core structure of <111> screw dislocation played an important role in the deformation behaviour of Fe3Al single crystals.

We report on the synthesis and physical properties of cm-sized CoGeO3 single crystals grown in a high pressure mirror furnace at pressures of 80 bar. Direction dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements on our single crystals reveal highly anisotropic magnetic properties that we attribute to the impact of strong single ion anisotropy appearing in this system with TN∼33.5 K. Furthermore, we observe effective magnetic moments that are exceeding the spin only values of the Co ions, which reveals the presence of sizable orbital moments in CoGeO3.

We report the magnetic properties of EuxCa1-xB6 single crystals (0.756x1) studied in the wide range of temperatures (1.8-300 K) and magnetic fields (up to 50 kOe). It was found that low field magnetic susceptibility χ (T) follows the Curie-Weiss law χ~(T-Θp)-1 at high temperatures for all the concentrations studied. The effective magnetic moment of the Eu2+ ion estimated from the data diminishes from the free ion value μeff7.93μB (μB - Bohr magneton) for x=1 to μeff7.3μB for x=0.756. A universal behavior of magnetic susceptibility χ~(T-Θ)-α (α=1.5) is detected close to the Curie temperature TC in the paramagnetic state at both metallic (x>xC~0.8) and dielectric (xC.

In this paper, Ni-Co alloy films with different composition were obtained by means of electroplating method. The morphology, structure and magnetic properties of Ni-Co alloy films with different Cobalt content are evaluated. The effect of the crystal orientation on the morphology of Ni-Co deposits with different compositon was discussed. The results showed that Ni–Co alloy films with Cobalt content decrease is composed of pyramidal, spindly, mixed pyramidal and spindly, and cellular particles respectively. To the deposits with similar composition, change of morphology is related to the preferential orientation. With the increase of the Nickel content, the saturation magnetization (Ms) value of the Ni–Co alloy films increases and then decreases sharply. The coercivety (Hc) value of the Ni–Co alloy films decreases with the Nickel content increase.

Results of magnetization and magnetic susceptibility measurements on undoped and Co-doped FeSi2.5 single crystals are presented. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of the Co-doped sample in the range of 5–300 K can be explained by temperature-dependent contributions due to paramagnetic centers and the carriers excited thermally in the extrinsic conductivity region. The values of the paramagnetic Curie temperature and activation energy of the donor levels were estimated. It is also shown that the magnetic susceptibility of Co-doped samples cooled in zero external field and in a field are different. This resembles the properties of spin-glasses and indicates the presence of coupling between magnetic centers.
