We present experimental data showing that the equiatomic CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy undergoes two magnetic transformations at temperatures below 100 K while maintaining its fcc structure down to 3 K. The first transition, paramagnetic spin glass, was detected 93 and second transition of ferromagnetic type occurred 38 Field-assisted cooling resulted in a systematic vertical shift hysteresis curves. Strength direction associated magnetization bias proportional strength field shows linear...
The fabrications of iron oxides nanoparticles using co-precipitation and gadolinium water in oil microemulsion method are reported this paper. Results detailed phase analysis by XRD Mössbauer spectroscopy discussed. revealed that the crystallite size (mean coherence length) (mainly γ-Fe2O3) Fe2O3 sample was 30 nm, while Fe2O3/SiO2 where ε-Fe2O3 dominated it only 14 nm. Gd/SiO2 were found to be completely amorphous, according XRD. samples showed various shapes hysteresis loops different...
Fresh precipitates, deposited from seepage waters of complex-ore mine-tailing impoundment at Zlaté Hory, Czech Republic, were characterized by means X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, low temperature and in-field Mössbauer spectroscopy, Brunauer−Emmett−Teller surface area measurements. The prevailing phases (∼96 wt %) found in precipitates are poorly crystalline, 2−6 nm sized two-line ferrihydrite, forming globular aggregates about 150 diameter, rimmed acicular irregular...
Using a device for thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic study of thermally induced solid-state transformations FeC2O4·2H2O in the atmosphere allowing full participation gaseous products (CO, CO2, H2O) reaction system was carried out. Solid phases formed at various temperatures between 25 and 640 °C were identified characterized using 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, TG XRD. Up to 230 °C, evolution two molecules water crystallization takes place. Superparamagnetic nanoparticles magnetite (Fe3O4)...
We present a new, easily scalable method for the deposition of nanocrystalline hematite photoelectrodes based on spin-coating mixed solution containing tin(II) and iron(III) chlorides followed by thermal treatment. Our facile approach does not require any additional film-forming organic species allows simple control photoelectrochemical performance electrode adjusting degree tin doping. When annealed at 650 °C strong increase in water oxidation photocurrent is observed with increasing...
Nickel ferrite NiFe2O4 is a typical soft magnetic with high electrical resistivity used as frequency material. Neodymium (Nd3+) doped materials were fabricated using solid state reaction. The properties of the obtained material investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), measurements on SQUID and Mössbauer spectroscopy. It was found that consists two different phases: Nd3+ NdFeO3. ions occupy cation sites...
We have performed a quantum-mechanical study of series stoichiometric Ni2MnSn structures focusing on pressure-induced changes in their magnetic properties. Motivated by the facts that (i) our calculations give total moment defect-free higher than experimental value 12.8% and (ii) state is predicted to be more sensitive hydrostatic pressures seen measurements, focused role point defects, particular Mn-Ni, Mn-Sn Ni-Sn swaps Ni2MnSn. For most defect types we also compared states with both...
Thermally induced reduction of amorphous Fe2O3 nanopowder (2–3 nm) with nanocrystalline Mg (∼20 under a hydrogen atmosphere is presented as novel route to obtain α-Fe and Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in MgO matrix. The phase composition, structural properties, size morphology the were monitored by x-ray diffraction, 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy at temperatures 24–300 K, transmission electron microscopy measurements. Spherical magnetite prepared reaction temperature 300 °C revealed...
Solid-state dewetting is used to fabricate supersaturated, submicron-sized Au-Ni solid solution particles out of thin Au/Ni bilayers by means a rapid thermal annealing technique. Phase separation in such studied with respect their equilibrium crystal (or Wulff) shape subsequent at elevated temperature. It found that {100} faceting planes the equilibrated are enriched Ni and {111} faces Au. Both phases considered quantum-mechanical calculations combination an error-reduction scheme was...
