The structur- al properties of FexC1-x films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) and Raman spec- troscopy. The results show that the iron and carbon of as-deposited films are in amorphous state, and the FexC1-x films are di- amond-like carbon (DLC) films. After doping iron into the DLC films, a smooth surface morphology of the FexC1-x films has been obtained with the surface roughness Ra of about 0.231 nm for x=18at%. The FexC1-x films have good soft magnetic prop- erties with the coercivity of approximately 20 Oe. A high positive magnetoresistance (MR) up to 93% with x=lat% was ob- served in a FexCl-x granular film at 300 K. The resistance characteristic of Fe-C films is changed at about 230 K and the positive MR effect can be understood by the p-n heterojunction theory.展开更多

The effects of Co con- centration, film thickness and annealing temperature on the magnetic properties and magnetoresistance (MR) were investigated After annealing at 500℃ for 0.5 hour, the Co(002) peak of the CoxC1-x(x〉2.5 at.%) films was observed, but cracks appeared in the films. Saturation magnetization Ms increased steadily with the increase of Co concentration from 2.5 at.% to 50 at.% and also increased with annealing temperature from room temperature to 400℃. The coercivity of CoxC1-x films was less than 180 Oe. The as-deposited Co2.5C97.5 granular films with 80 nm thickness showed a highly positive MR, up to 15.5% at a magnetic field of 0.8 T, observed at T=300 K when the external magnetic field was perpendicular to the film surface. With increasing film thickness and annealing temperature, the value of MR was found to decrease gradually and changed from positive to neg- ative. The MR effect of the CoxC1-x granular films can be explained by p-n heterojunction theory and interface scattering ef- fect.展开更多

The ingots were homogenized at 930℃ for 90 h followed by water quenching. The crystal structure, magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects of the alloys were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and MPMS-7-type SQUID. The results show that all samples still maintained a single γ-(Fe, Ni)-type phase structure. With the increase of the content of Co, the Curie temperatures of these alloys increased and exhibited a second-order magnetic transition from ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) state near Curie temperature. The maximum magnetic entropy change and the relative cooling power of Fe50Mn10CosNi35 alloy was 2.55 J/kg.K and 181 J/kg, respectively, for an external field change of 5 T. Compared with rare earth metal Gd, FesoMnls-xCoxNi35 series of alloys have obvious advantage in resource price; their Curie temperatures can be tuned to near room temperature, maintain a relatively large magnetic entropy change at the same time and they are a type of potential magnetic refrigeration materials near room temperature.展开更多
