Microstructural and magnetic properties of the X2YZ, namely Fe2MnSi and Fe2MnAl, Heusler alloys have been studied from the viewpoint of technology for their production and for the Z element effect. First, arc melting was applied to produce button-type ingots from which samples in a form of 500 µm thick discs were cut. Second, planar flow casting technology yielded samples in a ribbon-form 2 mm wide and 20 μm thick. The checked area chemical compositions were in agreement with the nominal ones. Nevertheless, the darker square objects and smaller bright objects observed at the wheel side of the Fe2MnSi ribbon sample yielded higher Mn content at the expense of Fe. The X-ray diffraction patterns of all samples have indicated L21 structure with lattice parameters, 0.567 (1) nm for Fe2MnSi and 0.584 (1) nm for Fe2MnAl, being within an experimental error independent of production technology. On the other hand, the technology has markedly influenced the microstructure clearly pointing to the larger size of grains and grain boundaries in the disc samples. From the magnetic viewpoint, both alloys are paramagnetic at room temperature without visible influence of their production. On the contrary, the low-temperature behavior of the microscopic hyperfine parameters and the macroscopic magnetic parameters exhibits differences affected by both chemical composition and microstructure.

The structure and magnetic properties of the Nd3Fe27.7-xNixTi1.3compounds prepared by arc-melting method have been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurement. It was found that all the compounds crystallized in Nd3(Fe, Ti)29-type structure with monoclinic symmetry and A2/m space group in concentration range 0.2 ≤x≤ 1.2. The unit cell volume decreased slightly with increasing Ni content. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the magnetically aligned samples showed that all compounds investigated had planar anisotropy. The Spin reorientation phenomena occurred in all the compounds. As the increase of Ni content, the Curie temperature TCmonotonously increased, but the spin reorientation temperature Tsrdid not obviously change. The saturation magnetization Ms of the compounds decreased monotonously with increasing Ni content at 5 K, 105 K, 205 K, and 305 K. The anisotropy fields Baat 5 K, 305 K and anisotropy constant K2at 305K appeared as a minimum, but the anisotropy constant K1at 305 K appeared as a maximum onx= 0.6.

The influences of the substitution of Ni with Mg on crystallographic and magnetic properties of the intermetallic alloys LaNi5-xMgx (x ≤ 0.4) were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that all samples were of single phase, and the lattice parameters, a and c, decreased slightly upon chemical doping. LaNi5 is well known as an exchange-enhanced Pauli paramagnet. Interestingly, in LaNi5-xMgx, the ferromagnetic order existed even with a small amount of dopants; the Curie temperature reached the value of room temperature for x = 0.2, and enhanced with increasing x.

The ordered ferromagnetic–antiferromagnetic [Formula: see text] alloy nanowires were fabricated successfully by alternating current (AC) electrodeposition into nanoporous anodized aluminum oxide (AAO). The NiMn alloy nanowires were deposited in a simple sulfate bath. Effect of bath composition on Mn content of electrodeposited nanowires as well as the thermal annealing effect on magnetic properties were explored. The magnetic properties of NiMn alloy nanowires were enhanced significantly, compared to corresponding bulk materials. Magnetic parameters, such as coercivity and saturation magnetization were decreased with increasing the Mn content. For thermal annealing process, it was found that these parameters were enhanced with increasing the temperature up to 300[Formula: see text]C, on the other hand, they were decreased with increasing the temperature to 500[Formula: see text]C. Moreover, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed that the FCC crystalline structure of Ni turns to an amorphous phase by increasing the Mn content in the nanowires, resulting in a significant reduction in the [Formula: see text].

M-type hexaferrites Ba(ZnZr)xFe12-2xO19 (x=0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) powders, have been synthesized by molten salt method, where x varies from 0 to 1.5 in steps of 0.5. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) were used to analyze the structures and magnetic properties. The results showed that, the magnetoplumbite structures for all samples calcining at 1100°C have been formed. The magnetic hysteresis loop measurements of the hexagonal ferrites powders showed that the saturation magnetization (Ms), the remanent magnetization (Mr), and the coercitivity (Hc) of ferrites depend strongly on the chemical compositions of materials. The data showed that the max Hc was obtained when substitution of x=1.0 (Hc=63.9 Oe), while the best Ms was obtained when substitution of x=0.5 (Ms=54.02 emu/g). Zn and Zr substitutions greatly modified the magnetic properties of BaM hexaferrite.

This paper presents an example of comparing geochemical and mineralogical data by means of the statistical analysis of the X-ray diffraction patterns and the chemical compositions of bulk samples. The proposed methodology was tested on samples of metasomatic rocks from two geologically different objects. Its application allows us to mathematically identify all the main, secondary and some accessory minerals, to qualitatively estimate the contents of these minerals, as well as to assess their effect on the distribution of all petrogenic and investigated trace elements in a short period of time at the earliest stages of the research. We found that the interpretation of the results is significantly influenced by the number of samples studied and the quality of diffractograms.

ABSTRACTIntermetallics of the type Nd2Co15−xFexSi2Cy (x=7; 9; 12 and y=0; 1) were prepared by arc melting in order to study the competing effects of Fe and Co substitutions on the magnetic hyperfine fields as well as the effects of interstitial carbon additions on the symmetry and local magnetic properties in these systems. The investigations were performed by x-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy and hysteresis loop measurements. Both site and average hyperfine magnetic field values were analyzed in order to discriminate between the Fe and Co contributions to the local atomic environments in these systems. While a higher Fe content as well as a higher Co content can both lead to an increase in the site magnetic fields, it was found that the model based on hyperfine field distributions provides a better description of the trends observed in hyperfine magnetic fields in these compounds.

The crystalline semiconductor material (MnPS3) has interlayer d-spacing gap of 6.4 Å. The main advantage of this gap is the ability to accommodate organic and inorganic compounds. Pyridine was intercalated in the MnPS3 interlayer gap under specific conditions. Four phases (d-spacing = 12.48 Å, 10.8 Å, 9.7 Å and 7.3 Å) were observed and the corresponding lattice expansions were determined, 5.8 Å, 4.4 Å, 3.3 Å and 1 Å, respectively. X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples after the experiment were stopped to reveal the presence of three phases together. The phase transformation occurred for the aforementioned phases. The crystallite size of certain phases is within nanorange. The magnetic properties of the materials are affected by the phase transformation. Complete intercalation was confirmed by the XRD and infrared (IR) measurements.

Characterization of superconducting Bi–Sr–Ca–Cu oxides has been carried out by electrical measurements, x-ray diffraction, conventional and high-resolution electron microscopy, and electron microprobe analysis. Nominal starting compositions with cation ratios of 1:1:1:2 and 2:2:1:2 show considerably different superconducting behavior. In both cases multiphase materials are formed. The predominant superconducting phase occurs as thin platelets with an orthorhombic, modulated structure. These particles often have edges aligned along [110], [100], and [010] directions and contain subgrain boundaries. Electron diffraction patterns and high-resolution micrographs taken along several zone axes are consistent with an incommensurate centered modulation along the b axis with a magnitude of 4.7 ± 0.1 times b. Unexpectedly, two distinct chemical compositions were found in platelets with the same apparent structure: Bi4Sr3Ca3Cu4O16±δ for the lower Tc phase in the 1:1:1:2 material, and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8±δ for the isomorphic higher Tc phase present in the 2:2:1:2 samples.

This paper presents the results of investigations into the structure, microstructure and magnetic properties of Fe61Co10Y8W1B20 amorphous alloy. The alloy samples were in two physical forms: (1) plates of approximate thickness 0.5 mm (so-called bulk amorphous alloys) and (2) a ribbon of approximate thickness 35 μm (so-called classic amorphous alloy). The investigations comprised: X-ray diffractometry, Mössbauer spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, and selected magnetic measurements; all of the investigations were carried out on samples in the as-quenched state. Analysis of the obtained SEM and TEM images, X-ray diffraction patterns, Mössbauer spectrometry results and measurements of the magnetisation in a high magnetic field facilitated collectively the detailed description of the structure of the investigated alloy, which was found to depend on the quenching speed.
