We report the possible existence of defect recovery and the magnetic behavior in the T’-Pr2-xCexCuO4 (T’-PCCO) with x = 0.10 nanoparticles through the partially reduction annealing process. The powders of T’-PCCO nanoparticles were synthesized by using the chemically dissolved method followed by partially reduction annealing at 700 °C for 5 h in argon atmosphere. The high-resolution neutron powder diffraction (HRPD) technique has been employed to study the nuclear structure, vacancy, and the magnetic properties of the T’-PCCO nanoparticles. It is found that there is an increase of oxygen occupancy at the in-plane oxygen, O(1), and the apical oxygen, O(3), which signifies the decrease of the number of the vacancy on their sites. Meanwhile, the out plane oxygen, O(2), seems to be unchanged in the partially reduced samples. The Fourier difference profile shows an enhancement of the neutron scattering density at all the critical sites of O(1), O(3), and the Cu site. This may lead to the idea of the defect recovery affecting the whole magnetic moments which is responsible for the absence of weak ferromagnetism in the T’-PCCO nanoparticles.

The results of magnetic behavior study of nickel ions, which were introduced into Zn2Fe(CN)6∙5.5H2O with channel structure, are presented. It was shown that nickel cations replace a part of Zn2+ ions or locate in the channels of lattice via the molecular mechanism sorption. It is shown that the magnetic moments μNi of the sorption products strongly depend on the content of Ni2+ ions. The values of μNi of the samples with Ni/Fe(CN)6=2.26 and 2.86 are great ~ 3.9 and 4.4 μB respectively and close to the value typical of free Ni2+ ions μ =4.47μB.

Structure and magnetic properties of electron-doped superconducting cuprates have been investigated in order to study the effect of magnetic impurity to its physical properties. Here, we reported structure and magnetic properties of Eu1.88Ce0.12Cu1-yZnyO4+α-δ (ECCZO) with y = 0 and 0.03. The properties of ECCZO have been studied from X-ray diffraction data and temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility data, to elucidate the effect of partial substitution of non-magnetic impurity Zn for Cu to its structure, Tc and the value of magnetic moments per unit volume extracted from susceptibility data in normal state. Magnetic-susceptibility measurements were carried out down to 2 K on-field cooling at 5 Oe for Eu1.88Ce0.12Cu1-yZnyO4+a-d with y = 0 and 0.03. For ECCZO sample with y = 0 and d = 0.0669 indicated the change of magnetic behavior from paramagnetic to diamagnetic below 12 K which is addressed to the Tc onset of this samples. Diamagnetic behavior is observed starting from about 12 K. Above 12 K, all samples show paramagnetic behavior with the values of the magnetic moment in every volume unit increased with increasing Zn.

Unusual magnetic properties of nanocrystalline orthoferrite, GdFeO3 , synthesize by conventional solid state reaction (SSR) route based on stoichiometric mixing of Fe2O3 and Gd2O3 is reported here. The structural characterization of these nanoparticles was carried out by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) techniques. We observe that the GdFeO3 phase start to precipitate at 1173 K which is rather lower for a SSR route. XRD and HRTEM studies confirm the growth of highly crystalline single phase GdFeO3 nanoparticles. Magnetic behavior shows the coexistence of weak ferromagnetism along with antiferromagnetic interaction. The field dependence magnetization delineates hysteresis loop at room temperature which is better at lower temperature.

Cerium oxide in borate glasses of composition xCeO2·(50 − x)PbO·50B2O3 plays an important role in changing both microstructure and magnetic behaviors of the system. The structural role of CeO2 as an effective agent for cluster and crystal formation in borate network is clearly evidenced by XRD technique. Both structure and size of well-formed cerium separated clusters have an effective influence on the structural properties. The cluster aggregations are documented to be found in different range ordered structures, intermediate and long range orders are the most structures in which cerium phases are involved. The nano-sized crystallized cerium species in lead borate phase are evidenced to have magnetic behavior.  The criteria of building new specific borate phase enriched with cerium as ferrimagnetism has been found to keep the magnetization in large scale even at extremely high temperature. Treating the glass thermally or exposing it to an effective dose of ionized radiation is evidenced to have an essential change in magnetic properties. Thermal heat treatment for some of investigated materials is observed to play dual roles in the glass matrix. It can not only enhance alignment processes of the magnetic moment but also increases the capacity of the crystallite species in the magnetic phases. On the other hand, reverse processes are remarked under the effect of irradiation. The magnetization was found to be lowered, since several types of the trap centers which are regarded as defective states can be produced by effect of ionized radiation.

Background: Rare earth materials are known for its salient electrical insulation properties with high values of electrical resistivity. It is expected that the substitution of rare earth ions into spinel ferrites could significantly alter its magnetic properties. In this work, the effect of the addition of Samarium ions on the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of Ni0.5Zn0.5SmxFe2-xO4 (x=0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) synthesized using sol-gel auto combustion technique was investigated. Methods: A series of Samarium-substituted Ni-Zn ferrite nanoparticles (Ni0.5Zn0.5SmxFe2-xO4 where x=0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion technique. Structural, morphological and magnetic properties of the samples were examined through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) measurements. Results: XRD patterns revealed single-phased samples with spinel cubic structure up to x= 0.04. The average crystallite size of the samples varied in the range of 41.8 – 85.6 nm. The prepared samples exhibited agglomerated particles with larger grain size observed in Sm-substituted Ni-Zn ferrite as compared to the unsubstituted sample. The prepared samples exhibited typical soft magnetic behavior as evidenced by the small coercivity field. The magnetic saturation, Ms values decreased as the Sm3+ concentration increases. Conclusion: The substituted Ni-Zn ferrites form agglomerated particles inching towards more uniform microstructure with each increase in Sm3+ substitution. The saturation magnetization of substituted samples decreases with the increase of samarium ion concentration. The decrease in saturation magnetization can be explained based on weak super exchange interaction between A and B sites. The difference in magnetic properties between the samples despite the slight difference in Sm3+ concentrations suggests that the properties of the NiZnFe2O4 can be ‘tuned’, depending on the present need, through the substitution of Fe3+ with rare earth ions.

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.

The magnetic properties of U 1-x Dy x Al y Ni 5-y (y=0,1) systems were investigated in the 2(5)–600 K temperature range and for fields up to 80 kOe. The systems having x≥0.2 are magnetically ordered with low transition temperatures and magnetization mainly due to the Dy contribution. The nickel exhibits magnetic moments, very weak in the low temperature range and well-defined effective moments over transition temperatures. The nickel behavior is discussed in terms of the spin fluctuation model.

ABSTRACTThe electronic structure and magnetic properties of rhodium clusters with sizes of 1 - 43 atoms embedded in the nickel host are studied by the first-principles spin-polarized calculations within the local density functional formalism. Single Rh atom in Ni matrix is found to have magnetic moment of 0.45μB. Rh13 and Rhl 9 clusters in Ni matrix have lower magnetic moments compared with the free ones. The most interesting finding is tha.t Rh43 cluster, which is bulk-like nonmagnetic in vacuum, becomes ferromagnetic when embedded in the nickel host.
