Unconventional critical behaviour in weak ferromagnets Fe_2-xMn_xCrAl (0 ≤ x < 1).

ABSTRACT: Recent investigation on weak ferromagnets Fe_2-xMn_xCrAl (0 ≤ x < 1) reveal the existence of a cluster glass phase (CGP) and a Griffiths-like phase (GP) below and above the ferromagnetic transition temperature (T_C), respectively [(2019) Sci. Rep. 9 15888]. In this work, the influence of these inhomogeneous phases on the critical behaviour (around T_C) of the above-mentioned series of alloys has been investigated in detail. For the parent alloy Fe₂CrAl, the critical exponent γ is estimated as ~ 1.34, which lies near to the ordered 3D Heisenberg class, whereas the obtained value of the critical exponent β ~ 0.273 does not belong to any universality class. With increment in Mn concentration, both exponents γ and β increase, where γ and β approach the disordered and ordered 3D Heisenberg class, respectively. The observed deviation of γ and unconventional value of δ can be ascribed to the increment of GP with Mn-concentration. The trend noted for β can be attributed to the increment in CGP regime with an increase in Mn-content. The estimated critical exponents are consistent and reliable as corroborated using the scaling law and equations of state. Our studies indicate that the critical phenomenon of Fe_2-xMn_xCrAl (0 ≤ x < 1) alloys possibly belong to a separate class, which is not described within the framework of any existing universal model.

Unconventional Disorder by Femtosecond Laser Irradiation in Fe2O3.

Project description:This paper demonstrates that femtosecond laser-irradiated Fe2O3 materials containing a mixture of α-Fe2O3 and ε-Fe2O3 phases showed significant improvement in their photoelectrochemical performance and magnetic and optical properties. The absence of Raman-active vibrational modes in the irradiated samples and the changes in charge carrier emission observed in the photocurrent density results indicate an increase in the density of defects and distortions in the crystalline lattice when compared to the nonirradiated ones. The magnetization measurements at room temperature for the nonirradiated samples revealed a weak ferromagnetic behavior, whereas the irradiated samples exhibited a strong one. The optical properties showed a reduction in the band gap energy and a higher conductivity for the irradiated materials, causing a higher current density. Due to the high performance observed, it can be applied in dye-sensitized solar cells and water splitting processes. Quantum mechanical calculations based on density functional theory are in accordance with the experimental results, contributing to the elucidation of the changes caused by femtosecond laser irradiation at the molecular level, evaluating structural, energetic, and vibrational frequency parameters. The surface simulations enable the construction of a diagram that elucidates the changes in nanoparticle morphologies.

Transition behaviors of γ-β0/β in V-, Cr-, Mn-doped TiAl alloys.

Project description:The behavior of γ-β/β0 phase transition in TiAl alloy doped with β stabilizers (V, Cr, Mn) are studied by using the first principles method. It is found that alloying addition as well as anharmonic lattice vibration and disordered atomic occupation contributes to enhance the stability of cubic structure and accordingly introduce the disordered β phase into the high-temperature microstructure. The formation of low-temperature β0 phase originates from not only the stabilization of cubic structure but also the destabilization of tetragonal structure. In particular, the latter is the main reason for the premature precipitation of the hard-brittle β0 phase in the room-temperature microstructure at low nominal doping concentrations. We also find a special doping region in which the γ and the β phases are stable, while the β0 phase is unstable. The existence of this region provides an opportunity for the regulation of the contents of β and β0 phases.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Multication Doped Mn Spinel, LiNi0.3Cu0.1Fe0.2Mn1.4O4, as 5 V Positive Electrode Material.

Project description:The suitability of multication doping to stabilize the disordered Fd3̅m structure in a spinel is reported here. In this work, LiNi0.3Cu0.1Fe0.2Mn1.4O4 was synthesized via a sol-gel route at a calcination temperature of 850 °C. LiNi0.3Cu0.1Fe0.2Mn1.4O4 is evaluated as positive electrode material in a voltage range between 3.5 and 5.3 V (vs Li+/Li) with an initial specific discharge capacity of 126 mAh g-1 at a rate of C/2. This material shows good cycling stability with a capacity retention of 89% after 200 cycles and an excellent rate capability with the discharge capacity reaching 78 mAh g-1 at a rate of 20C. In operando X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements with a laboratory X-ray source between 3.5 and 5.3 V at a rate of C/10 reveal that the (de)lithiation occurs via a solid-solution mechanism where a local variation of lithium content is observed. A simplified estimation based on the in operando XRD analysis suggests that around 17-31 mAh g-1 of discharge capacity in the first cycle is used for a reductive parasitic reaction, hindering a full lithiation of the positive electrode at the end of the first discharge.

Magnetic Control of the Manganese Photoluminescence in Fe3O4/l-Cys ZnS:Mn Nanocomposites.

Project description:We investigated the magnetic control of the Mn photoluminescence (PL) in iron oxide/l-cysteine-capped zinc sulfide (Fe3O4/l-cys ZnS:Mn) nanocomposites via temperature- and field-dependent PL intensity studies. Fe3O4/l-cys ZnS:Mn was synthesized following a wet chemical deposition route and then its physicochemical, morphological, and magnetic properties were characterized. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates the formation of a semiconducting composite material with coexisting phases with high crystalline quality and purity. Electron microscopy reveals that the surfaces of the nanoparticles are clean and smooth, sized between 15 and 30 nm, without any sheathed amorphous phase. Vibrating sample magnetometry and UV light excitation show a clear superparamagnetic behavior and an optical response of Fe3O4/l-cys ZnS:Mn, which revealed its bifunctional nature. Magnetoluminescent coupling at 1.0 T is seen in the form of PL suppression in Fe3O4/l-cys ZnS:Mn from low temperature (10 K) to room temperature, with a PL intensity drop of ∼5% at 10 K and a maximum drop of 10% at room temperature. This observation can be explained by restriction of the energy transfer to Mn orbitals through magnetic ordering and Jahn-Teller distortions. Fe3O4/l-cys ZnS:Mn shows promise as a bifunctional biocompatible compound that can be applied as a theranostic agent and a quantum computational element. A deeper understanding behind the magnetic control of the optical response in bifunctional materials brings forth new arenas in diagnostics and drug delivery.

Unconventional Hall effect and its variation with Co-doping in van der Waals Fe3GeTe2.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials have attracted a lot of attention owing to the stabilization of long range magnetic order down to atomic dimensions, and the prospect of novel spintronic devices with unique functionalities. The clarification of the magnetoresistive properties and its correlation to the underlying magnetic configurations is essential for 2D vdW-based spintronic devices. Here, the effect of Co-doping on the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of Fe3GeTe2 have been investigated. Magnetotransport measurements reveal an unusual Hall effect behavior whose strength was considerably modified by Co-doping and attributed to arise from the underlying complicated spin textures. The present results provide a clue to tailoring of the underlying interactions necessary for the realization of a variety of unconventional spin textures for 2D vdW FM-based spintronics.

Magnetic, electrical and mechanical properties of Fe40Mn40Co10Cr10 high entropy alloy.

Project description:A prototypical, single-phase, and non-equiatomic high entropy alloy Fe40Mn40Co10Cr10 has been mechanically deformed at room and cryogenic temperatures. Plastic deformation was accommodated via crystallographic slip at room temperature while transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) has been observed in samples deformed at 77 K. The stress-induced martensitic transformation occurred from face-centered cubic (FCC) to hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structures. A detailed electron backscatter diffraction analysis was utilized to detect phase change and evaluate the evolution of the HCP phase volume fraction as a function of plastic strain. Physical properties of undeformed and deformed samples were measured to elucidate the effect of deformation-induced phase transitions on the magnetic and electrical properties of Fe40Mn40Co10Cr10 alloy. Relatively small magnetic moments along with non-saturating magnetic field dependencies suggest that the ground state in the considered material is ferrimagnetic ordering with coexisting antiferromagnetic phase. The temperature evolution of the coercive fields has been revealed for all samples. The magnitudes of the coercive fields place the considered system into the semi-hard magnetic alloys category. The temperature dependence of the zero-field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) magnetization was measured for all samples in the low field regime and the origin of irreversibility in ZFC/FC curves was discussed. Besides, the temperature dependence of the resistivity in all samples was measured and the possible conduction mechanisms were discussed.

Data on the microstructure and deformation of Fe50Mn25Cr15Co10Nx (x=0∼1.6) supporting the modifications of partial-dislocation-induced defects (PDIDs) and strength/ductility enhancement in metastable high entropy alloys.

Project description:The data presented in this article are related to a research paper on the modification of deformed nanostructure and mechanical performance of metastable high entropy alloys (HEAs) [1]. Fe50Mn25Cr15Co10 alloys with and without nitrogen were synthesized in a vacuum induction furnace using pure metals of 99.99% purity and FeCrN2 as nitrogen source. The nitrogen content was determined by Leco O/N-836 determinator for nitrogen-doped alloys. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were carried at 200 kV equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Tensile testing was performed at room temperature. The strain rate jump tests were conducted by changing the strain rate between 10-3 and 10-2 s-1 to measure the strain rate sensitivity. The nanostructural evolutions by deformation including extended stacking faults (ESFs), ε-martensite and twins were examined using EBSD and TEM for the annealed samples and those strained to different strain levels. The role of partial dislocations on the formation of various PDIDs were analysed and the energies stored as deformed nanostructure (ESDN) after the PDID band formation were used to predict the evolution of various nanostructure with strain. The data and approach would provide a useful insight into the nanostructural evolution in metastable high entropy alloys.

Unconventional Hund metal in a weak itinerant ferromagnet.

Project description:The physics of weak itinerant ferromagnets is challenging due to their small magnetic moments and the ambiguous role of local interactions governing their electronic properties, many of which violate Fermi-liquid theory. While magnetic fluctuations play an important role in the materials' unusual electronic states, the nature of these fluctuations and the paradigms through which they arise remain debated. Here we use inelastic neutron scattering to study magnetic fluctuations in the canonical weak itinerant ferromagnet MnSi. Data reveal that short-wavelength magnons continue to propagate until a mode crossing predicted for strongly interacting quasiparticles is reached, and the local susceptibility peaks at a coherence energy predicted for a correlated Hund metal by first-principles many-body theory. Scattering between electrons and orbital and spin fluctuations in MnSi can be understood at the local level to generate its non-Fermi liquid character. These results provide crucial insight into the role of interorbital Hund's exchange within the broader class of enigmatic multiband itinerant, weak ferromagnets.
