Ternary alloys, (Fe50−x/2Co50−x/2)Snx(x ≤ 33 at.%), are prepared by mechanical alloying from powder mixtures of the three elements. As-milled alloys are studied by X-ray diffraction and 57Fe and 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. The solubility of Sn in near-equiatomic bcc FeCo is increased from ~0.5 at. % at equilibrium to ~20 at.% in the used milling conditions. The average 119Sn hyperfine magnetic field at room temperature is larger, for any x, than the corresponding fields in mechanically alloyed Fe-Sn solid solutions.

Al-Fe-Ni ternary powder mixtures containing (FeAl)-40(60) at.% Ni and (FeAl3)-10(30) at.% Ni were mechanically alloyed by a high-energry planetary ball mill. The structural evolution of the powders during milling was studied by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). During milling of (FeAl)-40(60) at.% Ni system, Al and Fe solid solutions formed at the early stage change to FeAl, AlNi3 and FeNi3 intermetallic compounds. However, the Al and Fe solid solutions observed at the early stage transform into Al3Ni2, AlFe3 and AlFe0.23Ni0.77 intermetallic compound at last. The experimental results showed that the last milling products were decided by the proportion of atom between Al and Fe in the powder and the Ni content in the power had not affected to the last products.

The effect of the substitution of paramagnetic trivalent chromium ions in stoichiometric magnesium–manganese ferrites has been studied with the composition Mg 0.9 Mn 0.1 Cr y Fe 2-y O 4 where y varies from 0.0, 0.1 to 0.9 in steps of 0.2. The single-phase cubic spinel structure of these samples has been confirmed from X-ray diffraction analyses. Mössbauer spectra of these samples studied at room temperature (300 K) showed two characteristic ferrimagnetic Zeeman sextets for lower concentration of Cr 3+ followed by relaxation phenomenon corresponding to y=0.9. The dependence of Mössbauer parameters, viz. isomer shift, quadrupole splitting, line width and hyperfine magnetic field on Cr 3+ concentration have been discussed. The variation of hyperfine magnetic field with increasing Cr 3+ content has been explained on the basis of Neel's molecular field model.

Nanocrystalline Ni75Fe25 (Ni3Fe) powders were prepared by mechanical alloying process using a vario-planetary high-energy ball mill. The intermetallic Ni3Fe formation and different physical properties were investigated, as a function of milling time, t, (in the range 6 to 96 h range), using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Mössbauer Spectroscopy techniques. X-ray diffraction were performed on the samples to understand the structural characteristics and get information about elements and phases present in the powder after different time of milling. The refinement of XRD spectra revealed the complete formation of fcc Ni (Fe) disordered solid solution after 24 h of milling time, the Fe and Ni elemental distributions are closely correlated. With increasing the milling time, the lattice parameter increases and the grains size decreases. The Mössbauer experiments were performed on the powders in order to follow the formation of Ni3Fe compound as a function of milling time. From the adjustment of Mössbauer spectra, we extracted the hyperfine parameters. The evolution of hyperfine magnetic field shows that the magnetic disordered Ni3Fe phase starts to form from 6 h of milling time and grow in intensity with milling time. For the milling time more than 24 h, only the Ni3Fe disordered phase is present with a mean hyperfine magnetic field of about 29.5 T. The interpretation of the Mossbauer spectra confirmed the results obtained by XRD.

We have studied the effect of the silicon concentration on the structural and hyperfine properties of nanostructured Fe[Formula: see text]Six powders ([Formula: see text], 20, 25 and 30[Formula: see text]at.%) prepared by mechanical alloying. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that after 72[Formula: see text]h of milling, the solid solution bcc-[Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) is formed. The grain sizes, [Formula: see text]D[Formula: see text] (nm), decreases with increasing Si concentration and reaches a minimum value of 11[Formula: see text]nm. We have found that the lattice parameter decreases with increasing Si concentration. The changes in values are attributed to the substitutional dissolution of Si in Fe matrix. From the adjustment of Mössbauer spectra, we have shown that the mean hyperfine magnetic field, [Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text] (T), decreases with increasing Si concentration. The substitutional dependence of [Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text] (T) can be attributed to the effect of p electrons Si influencing electrons d of Fe.

Two samples of benzene-treated Bi–Pb–Sr–Ca–Cu–O powder exhibited at 300 K magnetic field dependent diamagnetism and magnetization irreversibility. The treatment with benzene resulted also in the appearance of microwave absorption at low magnetic fields, while is sensitive to magnetic history of the sample. From X-ray diffraction data one can see that upon benzene treatment the reflections of 85 K and 110 K phases do not change practically, but a series of new reflections appeared, indicating a lattice modulation with 4.9 nm periodicity. A microprobe analysis revealed substantial inhomogeneity of chemical composition across the samples. The room temperature anomalies were weakened in one sample and vanished in the second upon thermal cycling.

AbstractAn array of molecules that is anisotropic in the extreme has been discovered in certain thermal-energy storage materials and is reported here: neopentylglycol (NPG) and NPG-rich solid solutions with pentaglycerine (PG) have a crystal structure, stable at room temperature, that consists of bimolecular chains of molecules that are all unidirectionally aligned throughout a crystal. There are hydrogen bonds between every molecule in one chain and its neighbors in that chain, but none between molecules of one chain and any molecules of the neighboring parallel chains. Thus there are strong intermolecular bonds along each chain and only weaker bonds between the chains. The structure has been determined by using modern single crystal techniques with 529 independent reflections from a crystal of NPG (C5H12O2). The structure is monoclinic with space group P21/c - C2h5. This anisotropic structure transforms to a cubic structure at higher temperatures.

Glass-coated Cu-Mn-Ga microwires were fabricated by Taylor-Ulitovsky technique. By means of energy dispersive spectroscopy microanalysis, an average alloy composition of Cu56Ga28Mn16 was determined. The temperature dependence of magnetization measured at a low magnetic field showed the coexistence of two ferromagnetic phases. The Curie temperature of one phase is 125 K and above room temperature for the other one. X-ray diffraction at room temperature and at 100 K reflects the presence of the same three crystalline phases corresponding to the cubic B2 Cu-Mn-Ga structure as a main phase and the minor phases of fcc Cu rich solid solution with Mn and Ga and the monoclinic CuO.

B2-structured (Fe,Ni)Al was synthesised by an abrupt reaction during mechanical alloying (MA) of the elemental powders of Fe, Al and Ni. The structural, microstructural, morphological and magnetic changes occurring in the studied material during MA were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Two crystalline phases were found, a majority one corresponding to (Fe,Ni)Al bcc phase with a crystallite size less than 10 nm, a lattice strain up to 1.6% and a dislocation density of about 2.3 x1016 m-2. The other phase was in a low proportion corresponding to Fe (Al,Ni) solid solution. SEM images showed an irregular morphology of powder particles. Mossbauer spectra of the milled powders, recorded at room temperature, reveal the paramagnetic behaviour of the obtained powder. Keywords: Mechanical alloying, ternary composition, dislocation density, structural properties, paramagnetic behaviour.

The magnetic properties in Co-Ni-P nanowires arrays with diameter of 200 nm were investigated. All the samples were prepared by electrodeposition method with pH of 5.5 and at room temperature. During the deposition, a magnetic field in range of 0 - 750 Oe was applied parallel to the wires axis. The crystalline structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively. The hysteresis loops were measured at room temperature using vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The mixture of hcp phases of the Co-Ni-P based nanowires has been indicated by the XRD pattern. The obtained results show that with 750 Oe magnetic field applied during deposition we can obtain maximum coercivity value (2180 Oe). The \(M_{r}/M_{s}\) ratio was rapid increased when the magnetic field changed from 0 Oe to 750 Oe.

Pure powders of titanium, aluminium, nickel and ruthenium were mechanically alloyed and melted in a button arc furnace under an argon atmosphere to produce two alloys of composition Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) and Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%). The alloys were then cut and metallographically prepared. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the samples. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to analyze the oxidation behavior from room temperature up to 1050°C. The alloys were also oxidized in air at 1050°C for 120 hours. The Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) alloy formed dendrites of γ-TiAl (55.6 at.% Al) surrounded by a eutectic of γ-TiAl + Al3NiTi2 (τ3) phases. The Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%) alloy formed dendrites of γ-TiAl (53.6 at.% Al) surrounded by a eutectic of γ-TiAl + Al3NiTi2 (τ3). The ruthenium was mostly in solid solution (0.3 at.%) in the Al3NiTi2 (τ3) phase, although traces of it were present in the dendrites (0.1 at.% Ru). When oxidized in air from room temperature to 1050°C, the as-cast Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%) had a mass gain of 0.60% and the as-cast Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) had a mass gain of 0.97%. Isothermal oxidation of both alloys at 1050°C for 120 hours formed mixed metal oxides of TiO2+Al2O3 on the surface.
