Magnetic, Electronic, and Mechanical Properties of Bulk ε-Fe₂N Synthesized at High Pressures.

ABSTRACT: We sintered bulk trigonal ε-Fe₂N (space group: P312) with the high-pressure and high-temperature method. Structural refinements by the Rietveld method result in a trigonal unit cell with parameters of a = 4.7767(1) Å and c = 4.4179(3) Å. ε-Fe₂N is ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature of ∼250 K, a saturation magnetization (M _s) value of up to 1.2 μ_B/formula units (f.u.), and comparatively low coercive field. The Vickers hardness was measured, and the results showed that the asymptotic hardness of bulk ε-Fe₂N is about 6.5 GPa with a load of 1000 g. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis shows that ε-Fe₂N is thermally stable below 670 K. ε-Fe₂N exhibits good metal conductivity, and the electron transport measurements show that the resistivity of it is 172 μΩ cm at room temperature. The theoretical calculations suggest that the conducting states are mainly derive from Fe-3d states.

Project description:The effect of Ga-substitution on bismuth ferrite BiGaxFe1-xO3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, and 0.25) properties was investigated, which was fabricated using a microemulsion route. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that specimens had a single-phase rhombohedral structure with space group R3̅c. The concentration of Ga had an impact on various properties such as structural parameters, crystalline size, porosity, and unit cell volume. The samples exhibited notable values for the dielectric constant, tangent loss, and dielectric loss in the low-frequency range, which declined as the frequency increased due to different polarizations. The increment in the AC conductivity was associated with rise in frequency. The P-E loops demonstrated that the samples became more resistive as the Ga concentration increased. The retentivity (Mr) and saturation magnetization (Ms) values reduced as the Ga content increased, although all samples had Hc values within the range for electromagnetic materials. The Ga-substitution had a synergistic effect on the electrochemical characteristics of BiGaxFe1-xO3, resulting in greater conductivity than that of undoped BiFeO3. These enhanced properties contributed to their higher photocatalytic activity in the degradation of crystal violet under visible light irradiation. The doped BiGaxFe1-xO3 exhibited 79% dye degradation after 90 min of illumination compared to 54% for pure BiFeO3. Recycling experiments confirmed the stability and reusability of the synthesized nanoparticles. The antibacterial activity of the samples was certified against various microbes, and the doped BiGaxFe1-xO3 showed promising activity. Thus, doped materials are good candidates for memories, dielectric resonators, and photovoltaics because of their high dielectric constant and AC conductivity, while their higher photocatalytic activity under visible light makes them promising photocatalysts for removing noxious and harmful effluents from wastewaters.
