Bulk Fe-80at%Ni melts were undercooled by using cyclic superheating and glass slag purification technique, and the maximum undercooling 340 K could be achieved. The microstructures of Fe-80at%Ni alloys were observed by means of optical microscope (OM). The phase composition was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The magnetic properties of Fe-80at%Ni alloys were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) with a DC M-H analyzer. The results showed that there was only single γ-(Fe, Ni) phase existing in undercooled Fe-80at%Ni alloys. Two grain refinements and one grain coarsening were observed in the undercooling range from 28 K to 340 K. The first grain refinement could be ascribed to dendrite-remelting, and the second to recrystallization induced by the stress originating from rapid solidification. The grain coarsening could be considered as a result of solid-state grain coalescence. The measurement of soft magnetic properties showed that the grain size D decreases with an increase of undercooling, the maximum Ms is 109.98emu/g, corresponding to minimum grain size 42.9μm or undercooling 210 K, and the coercive force Hc is in proportion to the reciprocal of grain size D-1.

Nanocrystalline CoFeHfO thin films have been fabricated by RF sputtering method. Co52Fe23Hf10O15 thin film is observed, exhibit good magnetic properties with magnetic coercivity (Hc) of 0.18 Oe; anisotropy fild (Hk) of 49 Oe; saturation magnetization (4лMs) of 21 kG, and electrical resistivity (ρ) of 300 01cm. The frequency response of permeability of the film is excellent. The effect of microstructure on the electrical and magnetic properties of thin film was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that excellent soft magnetic properties were associated with granular nannoscale grains of α-CoFe and α-Co(Fe) phases.

Bulk Fe-50at%Ni alloy melts were undercooled using cyclic superheating and glass slag purification. As a result, a maximum undercooling up to 217 K could be achieved. As-solidified microstructures were observed by means of optical microscope. Phase identification of Fe-50at%Ni alloys was performed using the Shimadzu X-ray diffractometer (XRD) system. The chemical constitution revealed using a JEOL Model JSM-6700F scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The magnetic properties of the alloys were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) with a DC M-H analyzer. The results indicated that there were twice grain refinements occurred within an undercooling range of 55-217K, where the first could be ascribed to dendrite-remelting, and the second to recrystallization. The phase composition of undercooled Fe-50at%Ni alloys comprised two phases, i.e., solid solution phases withbccandfccstructure. At various undercoolings, the saturation magnetizationMsandHcrelated closely to the measured grain sizeD, and they were in proportion toD-1by the regression analysis.

Nanocrystalline Fe-Co alloy powders, which were prepared by high-energy mechanical milling, were nitrided under the mixing gas of NH3/H2 in the temperature range from 380°C to 510°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyze the grain size and reaction during the processing. The magnetic properties of the nitrided powders were measured by Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The results show that with the appearance of Fe4N phase after nitride treatment, and the grain-size of FeCo phase decreases with the increase of nitridation temperature between 380°C to 450°C.The saturation magnetization of nitrided alloy powder treated at 480°C is about 18% higher than that of the initial Fe-Co alloy powder, accompanied by the reduction of the coercivity. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used, attempting to further analyze the effect of Fe4N phase on microstructure and magnetic properties of the powder mixtures.

The crystallization and optimization of magnetic properties effects in FeXSiB (X=Cu, V, Co, Zr, Nb) amorphous alloys were studied by applying X-ray diffraction methods, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), resistometric and magnetic measurements. The temperatures of the first and the second stage of crystallization, the 1h optimization annealing temperature and the Curie temperature were determined for different amorphous alloys. Activation energies of crystallization process were obtained by applying the Kissinger method. The influence of alloy additions on optimization effect and crystallization processes was carefully examined.

AbstractIn this work, BiFeO3 powders were synthesized by a sol–gel method. The influence of annealing temperature on the structure and magnetic properties of the samples has been discussed. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the purest phase was formed in the temperature range of 400 °C to 550 °C and the samples annealed at a temperature below 550 °C were of nanocrystalline character. Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetization measurements were used as complementary methods to investigate the magnetic state of the samples. In particular, the appearance of weak ferromagnetic properties, significant growth of magnetization, and spin-glass-like behavior were observed along with the drop of average grain size. Mössbauer spectra were fitted by the model assuming cycloidal modulation of spins arrangement and properties of the spin cycloid were determined and analyzed. Most importantly, it was proved that the spin cycloid does not disappear even in the case of the samples with a particle size well below the cycloid modulation period λ = 62 nm. Furthermore, the cycloid becomes more anharmonic as the grain size decreases. The possible origination of weak ferromagnetism of the nanocrystalline samples has also been discussed.

Influence of the bias voltage Ub and the deposition rate  on the structure, grain size D, and coercivity Hc of NiFe films with the thickness d from 30 to 980 nm, grown onto Si / SiO2 substrates by DC magnetron sputtering, was studied. In the case Ub = 0, the decrease of  from ≈ nm/min to ≈ 7 nm/min is accompanied by the increase of the critical film thickness dcr from dcr ≈ 220 nm to dcr ≈ 270 nm. In this case, Hc in the films with d < dcr is characterized by the dependence Hc ~ D6 and varies from ~ 1 to ~ 20 Oe. In the case of Ub = -100 V, the effect of the deposition rate on the coercivity is much more noticeable. At ν = 7 and 14 nm / min, the films demonstrate soft magnetic properties (Нс ≈ 0.15 - 1.4 Oe) and the absence of dcr for the entire range of studied thicknesses. The films obtained at ν = 21 and 27 nm / min turn into the “supercritical” state at d ≥ dcr ≈ 520 nm, and, in the region d < dcr, they are characterized by the dependence Hc ~ D3 and by the increase of coercivity from ~ 0.35 to ~ 10 Oe.

New functional nanocomposite FePt:C thin films with FePt underlayers were synthesized by noneptaxial growth. The effect of the FePt layer on the ordering, orientation and magnetic properties of the composite layer has been investigated by adjusting FePt underlayer thickness from 2 nm to 14 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), together with x-ray diffraction (XRD), has been used to check the growth of the double-layered films and to study the microstructure, including the grain size, shape, orientation and distribution. XRD scans reveal that the orientation of the films was dependent on FePt underlayer thickness. In this paper, the TEM studies of both single-layered nonepitaxially grown FePt and FePt:C composite L10 phase and double-layered deposition FePt:C/FePt are presented.

Fe-Si alloys have excellent soft magnetic properties, specially around 12 at% Si. However, its industrial application is limited because of the lack of ductility, which causes cracking during rolling operations for the fabrication of thin sheets. The reason of the brittleness of the high silicon alloys is a disorder/order reaction at low temperatures. The aim of this work is to analyze the effect of the addition of Aluminum on the crystalline structure of Fe-Si alloys. Samples with a chemical composition of Fe88Si12 and Fe87Si12Al1 (at%) were prepared by Spray Forming. The structure was studied by means of X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer Spectroscopy. The presence of the DO3 and α- Fe phases were observed

The paper presents a laser irradiation method for rapidly fabricating Fe-based nanocrystalline alloys using Yb-doped fiber laser with a wavelength of 1070nm by overlapping irradiation of the heated areas. The samples are annular cores rolled with 20μm-thick and 3.2mm-wide belts of amorphous alloy Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9, which have internal diameter of 14 mm and external diameter of 20 mm. Every side of the samples is irradiated for 15 min by fiber laser. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used for microstructure analysis and observation. The samples irradiated by a defocus beam with a diameter of 7.1mm through a lens have better soft magnetic properties than directly by an original collimating beam with a diameter of 6.7mm. The dimension of homogeneous ultrafine grains is about 10nm with a bcc α-Fe (Si), which is the foundation of the excellent soft magnetic property. Uniform laser irradiation and the appropriate laser power are necessary for optimum microstructure and soft magnetic properties.
