As result of these shift the structure in form of the chain magnetic spiral is realized in ferrite lattice. The noted shifts of the “magnetic moments” served as the basis for the author’s assumption that these “moments” are “fig sheets” behind which the magnetic poles (magnetic charges) real existing in the shells of atoms are hidden. In this case, the scattering of neutrons is carried out by magnetic charges, and not theoretical surrogates in the form of magnetic moments. In addition to participating in atomic structures, magnetic charges populate potential conduction zones in conductors, where they are exist in compositions of magnetic dipoles. Under the influence of an external magnetic field, a polarization of magnetic dipoles is realized in the conductor, the field strengths of which are directed against the external magnetic field. It is these dipole magnetic fields that are responsible for such a well-known physical phenomenon as diamagnetism. Under the conditions of noted polarization of magnetic dipoles the author managed to perform mechanical separation of magnetic charges in pairs ±g and to charge experienced bodies (metal plates) by the magnetic charges of one sign. The fact of such a charging was detected through magnetostatic interaction between magnetic charges on the plates using highly sensitive torsion balances. This experiment is presented in detail in this article. The results of these experiments, as well as subsequent experimental and theoretical studies of the author, which, in general composition, were carried out from 1968 to the present, showed that magnetic charges are real structural components of the atoms and substance. So, for example, the atomic shells are not electronic but electromagnetic. The main reason that real magnetic charges were <span style="font-family:Verdana;">“</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">buried alive” in the existing physical theories is the physics of their confinement in substance forces of which, in its rigidity, is many times greater than the electron confinement forces.</span>展开更多

We demonstrate that the ground state of this compound is in bicollinear antiferromag- netic order with Fe local moments (- 2.6 μB) that are ferromagnetically aligned along a diagonal direction and antiferromagnetically aligned along the other diagonal in the Fe-Fe square lattice, sim- ilar to the alignment discovered in the parent compound of superconductor α-FeTe. This bicollinear antiferromagnetic order results from the interplay among the nearest, next-nearest, and next-next- nearest neighbor exchange interactions, which are mediated by Te 5p orbitals. This finding may aid our understanding of the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in the family of iron-based materials.展开更多

The mononuclear radical anionic complex [1-N-methyl-1,10-phenanthrolium][Ni(dmit)2](dmit = 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) with a new countercation has been prepared and its crystal structure was determined ...The mononuclear radical anionic complex [1-N-methyl-1,10-phenanthrolium][Ni(dmit)2](dmit = 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) with a new countercation has been prepared and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray crystallography at 298 and 80 K. In the mononuclear radical anionic complex, the nickel ion assumes a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. There are two and three kinds of intermolecular interactions between adjacent mononuclear radical anionic complexes in the crystal at 298 and 80 K, respectively(i.e., Models A and B at 298 K; and Models C, D and E at 80 K). The variable-temperature magnetic moments indicate a strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the adjacent mononuclear radical anionic complexes, and the theoretical calculations reveal that the stronger antiferromagnetic coupling strength at lower temperature should be contributed to the larger overlap integrals between the short contact atoms. This study is the first to reveal the mechanism of stronger magnetic coupling strength at lower temperature for a mononuclear radical anionic nickel complex with dmit as the ligand.展开更多

EuTrGa3-r crystallizes in orthorhombic structure with space group of Cmcm and Z = 4. There are four kinds of nonequivalent 4c crystal positions in EuTrGaa-r unit cell, which are occupied by 4Eu, 4GaⅠ, 4(GaⅡ, T) and 4GaⅢ, respectively. EuTrGa3-r ex- hibits the complex magnetic states in low-temperature regime, with the three-, two- and one-antiferromagnetic transitions occurring for T=Ir, T=Rh and T=Pd, respectively. It might be due to the Kondo effect: a localized antiferromagnetic interaction of the isolated impurity spins with the surrounding conduction electrons at low-temperature regime.展开更多

One set of important data for this endeavor is the total-field magnetic data. Given the challenges associated with the magnetic data at low latitudes and with remanent magnetism in this area, we combine the equivalent-source technique and magnetic amplitude inversion to recover 3D subsurface magnetic structures. The inversion results show that this area is characterized by a north-south block division and east-west zonation. Magnetic regions strike in EW, NE and NW direction and are consistent with major tectonic trends in the region. The highly magnetic zone recovered from inversion in the continental margin differs visibly from that of the magnetically quiet zones to the south. The magnetic anomaly zone strikes in NE direction, covering an area of about 500 km × 60 km, and extending downward to a depth of 25 km or more. In combination with other geophysical data, we suggest that this strongly magnetic zone was produced by deep underplating of magma associated with plate subduction in Mesozoic period. The magnetically quiet zone in the south is an EW trending unit underlain by broad and gentle magnetic layers of lower crust. Its magnetic structure bears a clear resemblance to oceanic crust, assumed to be related to the presence of ancient oceanic crust there.展开更多

These structures are rooted in the photosphere and are driven by the unceasing motion of the photospheric material through a series of equilibrium configurations. The motion brings energy into the coronal magnetic field until the system ceases to be in equilibrium. The catastrophe theory for solar eruptions indicates that loss of mechanical equilibrium constitutes the main trigger mechanism of major eruptions, usually shown up as solar flares, eruptive prominences, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Magnetic reconnection which takes place at the very beginning of the eruption as a result of plasma instabilities/turbulence inside the current sheet, converts magnetic energy into heating and kinetic energy that are responsible for solar flares, and for accelerating both plasma ejecta (flows and CMEs) and energetic particles. Various manifestations are thus related to one another, and the physics behind these relationships is catastrophe and magnetic reconnection. This work reports on recent progress in both theoretical research and observations on eruptive phenomena showing the above manifestations. We start by displaying the properties of large-scale structures in the corona and the related magnetic fields prior to an eruption, and show various morphological features of the disrupting magnetic fields. Then, in the framework of the catastrophe theory, we look into the physics behind those features investigated in a succession of previous works, and discuss the approaches they used.展开更多

Metasedimentary rocks and tonalitic trondhjemitic granodioritic granitic (TTGG) gneisses show that values of susceptibility κ and saturation isothermal remanent magnetization SIRM are higher than those of amphibolites and gabbros. The felsic gneisses have averages of κ =(1 163±375)×10 -6 SI, SIRM =(18.23±8.38) A/m and R 1=0.083 3± 0.005 7 and the metasedimentary rocks κ =(1 236±823)×10 -6 SI, SIRM =(20.70±10.91) A/m and R I=0.071 4±0.025 2. In contrast, mafic rocks have average κ =(764±316)×10 -6 SI, SIRM = (10.46±3.94)A/m and R 1=0.036±0.009 4, and are dominated by a mixed paramagnetic and ferrimagnetic behavior. Thermal magnetic analyses indicate that magnetite and maghemite of low coercivity are the major carriers of remanent magnetism in the metaclastic sedimentary rocks and TTGG gneisses. The amphibolite and gabbro contain minor amounts of magnetite and pyrrhotite. Magnetism of metaclastic sedimentary rocks and TTGG gneisses is highly heterogeneous; variation coefficients of κ and SIRM are as high as 67 % and 53 % for the former and 32 % and 46 % for the latter. Mineral compositions suggest that biotite may be responsible for the higher magnetism of the metasedimentary rocks. The highest variations in κ, SIRM and R I exhibited by metasedimentary rocks can also be interpreted by their largest absolute variations in biotite mass fraction relative to mafic rocks and felsic gneisses. The average ratio ( Q ) of natural remanent magnetization to induced magnetization of felsic gneisses and metasediments is 0.47 . Ratios ( REM ) of natural remanent to saturation isothermal remanent magnetization ranges between 0.000 001 and 0.027 000 and averages 0.002 540. These values are comparable to those of rocks of similar lithologies from the Archean Taihua high grade terrain of the North China craton and from the Ivrea zone, northern Italy. The dominant phase of magnetism carried by the Kongling rocks is suggested to be thermal remanent magnetization. Consequently, high temperature metamorphism exceeding the Curie point of magnetite (585 ℃) might be responsible for the formation of rock magnetism of the exposed crust in the area of investigation.展开更多

Experimental results indicate that: with increasing Zn doping, the T_C value decreases monotonously, and the system undergoes a transition from long-range ferromagnetic order to cluster-spin glass stated. The results are attributed to double exchange interaction, magnetic dilution and lattice effects by Zn doping.展开更多

It was found that the coercivity in Ni layer buffered samples decreases with increasing Ni layer thickness, while that in Cr layer buffered ones increases with increasing Cr layer thickness, leading to a large difference in field sensitivity of their giant magnetoresistance (GMR) properties. X-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscope images exhibited that there is a strong fcc (111) texture in the samples with Ni buffer layer. But there are only randomly oriented potycrystalline grains in Cr buffered sandwiches. According to atomic force microscope topography, the surface roughness of Cr buffered sandwiches is smaller than that of Ni buffered ones. It is demonstrated that buffer layer influences both magnetic and structural properties in Co/Cu/Co sandwiches as well as their GMR characteristics.展开更多

The R–T compounds are studied by means of magnetic measurements, heat capacity measurements, magnetoresistance measurements and neutron powder diffraction measurements. The R–T compounds show complex magnetic transitions and interesting magnetic properties.The types of magnetic transitions are investigated and confirmed in detail by multiple approaches. Especially, most of the R–T compounds undergo more than one magnetic transition, which has significant impact on the magnetocaloric effect of R–T compounds. The MCE of R–T compounds are calculated by different ways and the special shapes of MCE peaks for different compounds are investigated and discussed in detail. To improve the MCE performance of R–T compounds,atoms with large spin(S) and atoms with large total angular momentum(J) are introduced to substitute the related rare earth atoms. With the atom substitution, the maximum of magnetic entropy change(?SM), refrigerant temperature width(Twidth)or refrigerant capacity(RC) is enlarged for some R–T compounds. In the low temperature range, binary R–T(R = Pr, Gd,Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm; T = Ga, Ni, Co, Cu) intermetallic compounds(including RGa series, RNi series,R_(12)Co_7 series, R_3 Co series and RCu_2series) show excellent performance of MCE, indicating the potential application for gas liquefaction in the future.展开更多

Magnetic coal-based activated carbons (MCAC) were prepared from Taixi anthracite with low ash content in the presence of Ni(NO3)2. The MCAC materials were characterized by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), a scanning electric microscope (SEM), and by N2 adsorption. The cylindri- cal precursors and derived char were also subjected to thermogravimetric analysis to compare their behavior of weight losses during carbonization. The results show that MCAC has a larger surface area (1074 m21g) and a higher pore volume (0.5792 cm3/g) with enhanced mesopore ratio (by about 10~). It also has a high saturation magnetization (1.6749 emu/g) and low coercivity (43.26 Oe), which allows the material to be magnetically separated. The MCAC is easily magnetized because the nickel salt is con- vetted into Ni during carbonization and activation. Metallic Ni has a strong magnetism on account of electrostatic interaction. Added Ni(NO3)2 catalyzes the carbonization and activation process by accelerat- ing burn off of the carbon, which contributes to the development of mesopores and macropores in the activated carbon.展开更多

文摘The construction of carbon nanocoil(CNC)-based chiral-dielectric-magnetic trinity composites is considered as a promising approach to achieve excellent low-frequency microwave absorption.However,it is still challenging to further enhance the low frequency microwave absorption and elucidate the related loss mechanisms.Herein,the chiral CNCs are first synthesized on a threedimensional(3D)carbon foam and then combined with the FeNi/NiFe_(2)O_(4) nanoparticles to form a novel chiral-dielectric-magnetic trinity foam.The 3D porous CNC-carbon foam network provides excellent impedance matching and strong conduction loss.The formation of the FeNi-carbon interfaces induces interfacial polarization loss,which is confirmed by the density functional theory calculations.Further permeability analysis and the micromagnetic simulation indicate that the nanoscale chiral magnetic heterostructures achieve magnetic pinning and coupling effects,which enhance the magnetic anisotropy and magnetic loss capability.Owing to the synergistic effect between dielectricity,chirality,and magnetism,the trinity composite foam exhibits excellent microwave absorption performance with an ultrabroad effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 14 GHz and a minimum reflection of loss less than-50 dB.More importantly,the C-band EAB of the foam is extended to 4 GHz,achieving the full C-band coverage.This study provides further guidelines for the microstructure design of the chiral-dielectric-magnetic trinity composites to achieve broadband microwave absorption.

文摘The Agadem block is an area of major oil interest located in the large sedimentary basin of Termit,in the south-east of the Republic of Niger.Since the 1950s,this basin has known geological and geophysical research activities.However,despite the extensive research carried out,we believe that a geophysical contribution in terms of magnetic properties and their repercussions on the structure of the Agadem block allowing the improvement of existing knowledge is essential.The present study aims to study the structural characteristics of the Agadem block associated with magnetic anomalies.For this,after data shaping,several filtering techniques were applied to the aeromagnetic data to identify and map deep geological structures.The reduction to the pole map shows large negative wavelength anomalies in the southeast half of the block and short positive wavelength anomalies in the northwest part embedded in a large positive anomaly occupying the lower northern half of the block.The maps of the total horizontal derivative and tilt angle show lineaments globally distributed along the NW-SE direction in accordance with the structural style of the study area.The resulting map highlights numerous lineaments that may be associated with faults hidden by the sedimentary cover.The calculation of the Euler deconvolution allowed us to locate and estimate the depths of magnetic sources at variable depths of up to 4000 m.The compilation of the results obtained allowed us to locate zones of high and low intensities which correspond respectively to horsts and grabens as major structures of the Agadem block.

文摘In order to calculate the multipoles in real materials with considerable intersite Coulomb interaction V,we develop a self-consistent program which starts from the frst-principles calculations to solve the tight-binding Hamiltonian including onsite Coulomb repulsion U,V,and spin-orbital couplingλ.The program is applied to Ba_(2)MgReO_(6)to fgure out the mechanism of structural instability and magnetic ordering.A comprehensive quadrupole phase diagram versus U and V withλ=0.28 eV is calculated.Our results demonstrate that the easy-plane anisotropy and the intersite Coulomb repulsion V must be considered to remove the orbital frustration.The increase of V to>20 meV would arrange quadrupole Q_(x^(2)-y^(2))antiparallelly,accompanied by small parallel Q_(3z)^(2)-r^(2),and stabilize Ba_(2)MgReO_(6)into the body-centered tetragonal structure.Such antiparallel Q_(x^(2)-y^(2))provides a new mechanism for the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and gives rise to the canted antiferromagnetic(CAF)state along the[110]axis.Moreover,sizable octupoles such as O_(21)^(31),O_(21)^(33),O_(21)^(34)and O_(21)^(36)are discovered for the frst time in the CAF state.Our study not only provides a comprehensive understanding of the experimental results in Ba_(2)MgReO_(6),but also serves as a general and useful tool for the study of multipole physics in 5d compounds.
文摘Magnetic neutron scattering in Y-type hexagonal ferrite crystals, studied by the author in 1968-1971 and presented in the article showed that the entire density of the so-called magnetic moments of Fe<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><sup>3+</sup></span> ions can significantly shift from the position of their nuclei. As result of these shift the structure in form of the chain magnetic spiral is realized in ferrite lattice. The noted shifts of the “magnetic moments” served as the basis for the author’s assumption that these “moments” are “fig sheets” behind which the magnetic poles (magnetic charges) real existing in the shells of atoms are hidden. In this case, the scattering of neutrons is carried out by magnetic charges, and not theoretical surrogates in the form of magnetic moments. In addition to participating in atomic structures, magnetic charges populate potential conduction zones in conductors, where they are exist in compositions of magnetic dipoles. Under the influence of an external magnetic field, a polarization of magnetic dipoles is realized in the conductor, the field strengths of which are directed against the external magnetic field. It is these dipole magnetic fields that are responsible for such a well-known physical phenomenon as diamagnetism. Under the conditions of noted polarization of magnetic dipoles the author managed to perform mechanical separation of magnetic charges in pairs ±g and to charge experienced bodies (metal plates) by the magnetic charges of one sign. The fact of such a charging was detected through magnetostatic interaction between magnetic charges on the plates using highly sensitive torsion balances. This experiment is presented in detail in this article. The results of these experiments, as well as subsequent experimental and theoretical studies of the author, which, in general composition, were carried out from 1968 to the present, showed that magnetic charges are real structural components of the atoms and substance. So, for example, the atomic shells are not electronic but electromagnetic. The main reason that real magnetic charges were <span style="font-family:Verdana;">“</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">buried alive” in the existing physical theories is the physics of their confinement in substance forces of which, in its rigidity, is many times greater than the electron confinement forces.</span>
文摘We examine the electronic and magnetic structures of iron telluride KFe2Te2 using first-principle calculations. We demonstrate that the ground state of this compound is in bicollinear antiferromag- netic order with Fe local moments (- 2.6 μB) that are ferromagnetically aligned along a diagonal direction and antiferromagnetically aligned along the other diagonal in the Fe-Fe square lattice, sim- ilar to the alignment discovered in the parent compound of superconductor α-FeTe. This bicollinear antiferromagnetic order results from the interplay among the nearest, next-nearest, and next-next- nearest neighbor exchange interactions, which are mediated by Te 5p orbitals. This finding may aid our understanding of the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in the family of iron-based materials.

文摘The bulk photovoltaic effect(BPVE)is a second-order optical process in noncentrosymmetric materials that converts the light into DC currents.BPVE is classified into shift current and injection current according to the generation mechanisms and their dependence on the polarization of light is sensitive to the spatial and time-reversal symmetry of materials.In this work,we present a comprehensive study on the BPVE response of EuSn_(2)As_(2) with different magnetic structures through symmetry analysis and first-principles calculation.We demonstrate that the interlayer antiferromagnetic(AFM)EuSn_(2)As_(2) of even-layer breaks the inversion symmetry and has the second-order optical responses.Moreover,the bilayer AFM EuSn_(2)As_(2) not only displays distinct BPVE responses when magnetic moments align in different directions,but also shows symmetry-related responses in two phases which have mutually perpendicular in-plane magnetic moments.Due to the dependence of BPVE responses on the polarization of light and magnetic symmetry,these magnetic structures can be distinguished by the circular polarized light with well-designed experiments.Our work demonstrates the feasibility of the BPVE response as a tool to probe the magnetic structure.

文摘Electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with ultrathin,flexible,superior mechanical and thermal management properties are highly desirable for smart and wearable electronics.Here,ultrathin and flexible Ni/Cu/metallic glass/Cu/Ni(Ni/Cu/MG)multilayer composite with alternate magnetic and electrical structures was designed via facial electroless plating of Cu and Ni on an Fe-based metallic glass.The resultant 0.02 mm-thick Ni/Cu/MG composite displays a superior EMI shielding effectiveness(EMI SE)of 35 dB and a great EMI SE/t of 1750 dB/mm,which is greater than those of composites with monotonous multilayer or homogeneous structures.The improved EMI SE originates from the massive ohmic losses,the enhanced internal reflection/absorption,and the abundant interfacial polarization loss.Particularly,Ni/Cu/MG exhibits a high tensile strength of up to 1.2 GPa and outstanding mechanical stability,enabling the EMI SE remains unchanged after 10,000 times of bending.Moreover,Ni/Cu/MG has excellent Joule heating characteristics and thermal stability,which is very suitable for heating components of wearable hyperthermia devices.

文摘The mononuclear radical anionic complex [1-N-methyl-1,10-phenanthrolium][Ni(dmit)2](dmit = 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) with a new countercation has been prepared and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray crystallography at 298 and 80 K. In the mononuclear radical anionic complex, the nickel ion assumes a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. There are two and three kinds of intermolecular interactions between adjacent mononuclear radical anionic complexes in the crystal at 298 and 80 K, respectively(i.e., Models A and B at 298 K; and Models C, D and E at 80 K). The variable-temperature magnetic moments indicate a strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the adjacent mononuclear radical anionic complexes, and the theoretical calculations reveal that the stronger antiferromagnetic coupling strength at lower temperature should be contributed to the larger overlap integrals between the short contact atoms. This study is the first to reveal the mechanism of stronger magnetic coupling strength at lower temperature for a mononuclear radical anionic nickel complex with dmit as the ligand.

文摘The crystal structures and magnetic properties of novel Eu TrGa3-r (T=Pd, It, Rh) in termetallic compounds are investigated by using powder x-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. EuTrGa3-r crystallizes in orthorhombic structure with space group of Cmcm and Z = 4. There are four kinds of nonequivalent 4c crystal positions in EuTrGaa-r unit cell, which are occupied by 4Eu, 4GaⅠ, 4(GaⅡ, T) and 4GaⅢ, respectively. EuTrGa3-r ex- hibits the complex magnetic states in low-temperature regime, with the three-, two- and one-antiferromagnetic transitions occurring for T=Ir, T=Rh and T=Pd, respectively. It might be due to the Kondo effect: a localized antiferromagnetic interaction of the isolated impurity spins with the surrounding conduction electrons at low-temperature regime.

文摘Understanding the continental margin of the Northeastern South China Sea is critical to the study of deep structures, tectonic evolution, and dynamics of the region. One set of important data for this endeavor is the total-field magnetic data. Given the challenges associated with the magnetic data at low latitudes and with remanent magnetism in this area, we combine the equivalent-source technique and magnetic amplitude inversion to recover 3D subsurface magnetic structures. The inversion results show that this area is characterized by a north-south block division and east-west zonation. Magnetic regions strike in EW, NE and NW direction and are consistent with major tectonic trends in the region. The highly magnetic zone recovered from inversion in the continental margin differs visibly from that of the magnetically quiet zones to the south. The magnetic anomaly zone strikes in NE direction, covering an area of about 500 km × 60 km, and extending downward to a depth of 25 km or more. In combination with other geophysical data, we suggest that this strongly magnetic zone was produced by deep underplating of magma associated with plate subduction in Mesozoic period. The magnetically quiet zone in the south is an EW trending unit underlain by broad and gentle magnetic layers of lower crust. Its magnetic structure bears a clear resemblance to oceanic crust, assumed to be related to the presence of ancient oceanic crust there.

文摘We report a theoretical analysis of magnon–magnon coupling in a noncollinear magnetic sandwiched structure with interlayer exchange interaction,which consists of two ferromagnetic layers with perpendicular and in-plane magnetic anisotropy,respectively.Based on the Landau–Lifshitz equation,the spin wave dispersion is derived,and then the frequency gap is observed due to the magnon–magnon coupling effect induced by symmetry breaking.The influence of saturation magnetization,exchange coupling interaction,perpendicular magnetic anisotropy,and wave vector on the coupling strength is studied in detail.We find that the coupling strength is strongly dependent on the saturation magnetization and a small saturation magnetization can lead to strong coupling strength.By selecting the appropriate magnetic materials,the ultra-strong coupling regime can be achieved.The precession information in time domain is solved and the alternating change of the precession components in two ferromagnetic layers implies the exchange of energy and information.

文摘Large-scale magnetic structures are the main carrier of major eruptions in the solar atmosphere. These structures are rooted in the photosphere and are driven by the unceasing motion of the photospheric material through a series of equilibrium configurations. The motion brings energy into the coronal magnetic field until the system ceases to be in equilibrium. The catastrophe theory for solar eruptions indicates that loss of mechanical equilibrium constitutes the main trigger mechanism of major eruptions, usually shown up as solar flares, eruptive prominences, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Magnetic reconnection which takes place at the very beginning of the eruption as a result of plasma instabilities/turbulence inside the current sheet, converts magnetic energy into heating and kinetic energy that are responsible for solar flares, and for accelerating both plasma ejecta (flows and CMEs) and energetic particles. Various manifestations are thus related to one another, and the physics behind these relationships is catastrophe and magnetic reconnection. This work reports on recent progress in both theoretical research and observations on eruptive phenomena showing the above manifestations. We start by displaying the properties of large-scale structures in the corona and the related magnetic fields prior to an eruption, and show various morphological features of the disrupting magnetic fields. Then, in the framework of the catastrophe theory, we look into the physics behind those features investigated in a succession of previous works, and discuss the approaches they used.
文摘Densities and various magnetic parameters (susceptibility, saturation magnetization, saturation isothermal remanent magnetization and intrinsic coercivity) were measured for 20 representative rock samples of different lithologies from the Archean Kongling amphibolite to granulite facies terrain of the Yangtze craton. Metasedimentary rocks and tonalitic trondhjemitic granodioritic granitic (TTGG) gneisses show that values of susceptibility κ and saturation isothermal remanent magnetization SIRM are higher than those of amphibolites and gabbros. The felsic gneisses have averages of κ =(1 163±375)×10 -6 SI, SIRM =(18.23±8.38) A/m and R 1=0.083 3± 0.005 7 and the metasedimentary rocks κ =(1 236±823)×10 -6 SI, SIRM =(20.70±10.91) A/m and R I=0.071 4±0.025 2. In contrast, mafic rocks have average κ =(764±316)×10 -6 SI, SIRM = (10.46±3.94)A/m and R 1=0.036±0.009 4, and are dominated by a mixed paramagnetic and ferrimagnetic behavior. Thermal magnetic analyses indicate that magnetite and maghemite of low coercivity are the major carriers of remanent magnetism in the metaclastic sedimentary rocks and TTGG gneisses. The amphibolite and gabbro contain minor amounts of magnetite and pyrrhotite. Magnetism of metaclastic sedimentary rocks and TTGG gneisses is highly heterogeneous; variation coefficients of κ and SIRM are as high as 67 % and 53 % for the former and 32 % and 46 % for the latter. Mineral compositions suggest that biotite may be responsible for the higher magnetism of the metasedimentary rocks. The highest variations in κ, SIRM and R I exhibited by metasedimentary rocks can also be interpreted by their largest absolute variations in biotite mass fraction relative to mafic rocks and felsic gneisses. The average ratio ( Q ) of natural remanent magnetization to induced magnetization of felsic gneisses and metasediments is 0.47 . Ratios ( REM ) of natural remanent to saturation isothermal remanent magnetization ranges between 0.000 001 and 0.027 000 and averages 0.002 540. These values are comparable to those of rocks of similar lithologies from the Archean Taihua high grade terrain of the North China craton and from the Ivrea zone, northern Italy. The dominant phase of magnetism carried by the Kongling rocks is suggested to be thermal remanent magnetization. Consequently, high temperature metamorphism exceeding the Curie point of magnetite (585 ℃) might be responsible for the formation of rock magnetism of the exposed crust in the area of investigation.

文摘Magnetocaloric material is the key working substance for magnetic refrigerant technology,for which the low-field and low-temperature magnetocaloric effect(MCE)performance is of great importance for practical applications at low temperatures.Here,a giant low-field magnetocaloric effect in ferromagnetically ordered Er_(1-x)Tm_(x)Al_(2)(0≤x≤1)compounds was reported,and the magnetic structure was characterized based on low-temperature neutron powder diffraction.With increasing Tm content from 0 to 1,the Curie temperature of Er_(1-x)Tm_(x)Al_(2)(0≤x≤1)compounds decreases from 16.0 K to 3.6 K.For Er_(0.7)Tm_(0.3)Al_(2) compound,it showed the largest low-field magnetic entropy change(–SM)with the peak value of 17.2 and 25.7 J/(kg K)for 0–1 T and 0–2 T,respectively.The(–SM)max up to 17.2 J/(kg K)of Er0.7Tm0.3Al2 compound for 0–1 T is the largest among the intermetallic magnetocaloric materials ever reported at temperatures below 20 K.The peak value of adiabatic temperature change(Tad)max was determined as 4.13 K and 6.87 K for 0–1 T and 0–2 T,respectively.The characteristic of second-order magnetic transitions was confirmed on basis of Arrott plots,the quantitative criterion of exponent n,rescaled universal curves,and the mean-field theory criterion.The outstanding low-field MCE performance with low working temperatures indicates that Er_(1-x)Tm_(x)Al_(2)(0≤x≤1)compounds are promising candidates for magnetic cooling materials at liquid hydrogen and liquid helium temperatures.
文摘M-T curves, M-H curves and electron spin resonance (ESR) curves of LaMn_(1-x)Zn_xO_3(x=0.05, 0.10, (0.20,) 0.30, 0.40) were studied. Experimental results indicate that: with increasing Zn doping, the T_C value decreases monotonously, and the system undergoes a transition from long-range ferromagnetic order to cluster-spin glass stated. The results are attributed to double exchange interaction, magnetic dilution and lattice effects by Zn doping.
文摘The magnetic and structural properties in Co/Cu/Co sandwiches with Ni and Cr buffer layers were investigated. It was found that the coercivity in Ni layer buffered samples decreases with increasing Ni layer thickness, while that in Cr layer buffered ones increases with increasing Cr layer thickness, leading to a large difference in field sensitivity of their giant magnetoresistance (GMR) properties. X-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscope images exhibited that there is a strong fcc (111) texture in the samples with Ni buffer layer. But there are only randomly oriented potycrystalline grains in Cr buffered sandwiches. According to atomic force microscope topography, the surface roughness of Cr buffered sandwiches is smaller than that of Ni buffered ones. It is demonstrated that buffer layer influences both magnetic and structural properties in Co/Cu/Co sandwiches as well as their GMR characteristics.

文摘In this paper, we review the magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects(MCE) of binary R–T(R = Pr, Gd, Tb,Dy, Ho, Er, Tm; T = Ga, Ni, Co, Cu) intermetallic compounds(including RGa series, RNi series, R_(12)Co_7 series, R_3 Co series and RCu_2series), which have been investigated in detail in the past several years. The R–T compounds are studied by means of magnetic measurements, heat capacity measurements, magnetoresistance measurements and neutron powder diffraction measurements. The R–T compounds show complex magnetic transitions and interesting magnetic properties.The types of magnetic transitions are investigated and confirmed in detail by multiple approaches. Especially, most of the R–T compounds undergo more than one magnetic transition, which has significant impact on the magnetocaloric effect of R–T compounds. The MCE of R–T compounds are calculated by different ways and the special shapes of MCE peaks for different compounds are investigated and discussed in detail. To improve the MCE performance of R–T compounds,atoms with large spin(S) and atoms with large total angular momentum(J) are introduced to substitute the related rare earth atoms. With the atom substitution, the maximum of magnetic entropy change(?SM), refrigerant temperature width(Twidth)or refrigerant capacity(RC) is enlarged for some R–T compounds. In the low temperature range, binary R–T(R = Pr, Gd,Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm; T = Ga, Ni, Co, Cu) intermetallic compounds(including RGa series, RNi series,R_(12)Co_7 series, R_3 Co series and RCu_2series) show excellent performance of MCE, indicating the potential application for gas liquefaction in the future.

文摘The role of Nil(NO3)2 in the preparation of a magnetic activated carbon is reported in this paper. Magnetic coal-based activated carbons (MCAC) were prepared from Taixi anthracite with low ash content in the presence of Ni(NO3)2. The MCAC materials were characterized by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), a scanning electric microscope (SEM), and by N2 adsorption. The cylindri- cal precursors and derived char were also subjected to thermogravimetric analysis to compare their behavior of weight losses during carbonization. The results show that MCAC has a larger surface area (1074 m21g) and a higher pore volume (0.5792 cm3/g) with enhanced mesopore ratio (by about 10~). It also has a high saturation magnetization (1.6749 emu/g) and low coercivity (43.26 Oe), which allows the material to be magnetically separated. The MCAC is easily magnetized because the nickel salt is con- vetted into Ni during carbonization and activation. Metallic Ni has a strong magnetism on account of electrostatic interaction. Added Ni(NO3)2 catalyzes the carbonization and activation process by accelerat- ing burn off of the carbon, which contributes to the development of mesopores and macropores in the activated carbon.
