Effect of cobalt doping on the dielectric response of $B_{0.95}Pb_{0.05}TiO_3$ ceramics
2013
Dielectric response of Ba 0.95 Pb 0.05 TiO 3 ceramics doped with 0.1 and 1 wt.% of Co 2 O 3 , synthesized by conven- tional high-temperature method, wa s studied in wide temperature and frequency range. The temperature dependences of the real and the imaginary parts of dielectric permittivity of the ceramics were compared with those of BaTiO 3 and Ba 0.95 Pb 0.05 TiO 3. The addition of Co 3+ ions results in a broadening of dielectric anom- alies related to the transition to p araelectric cubic phase, and the structural transition between the tetragonal and the orthorhombic phases. At low temperatures (125 – 200 K) the dielectric absorp- tion of Co-doped Ba 0.95 Pb 0.05 TiO 3 ceramics was fo…
Electronic structure and transport properties of the Heusler compound Co2TiAl
2009
The properties of the Heusler compound Co2TiAl were investigated in detail by experimental techniques and theoretical methods. X-ray diffraction measurements indicate that as-cast samples of the compound exhibit the L21 structure with a small amount of B2-type disorder. This leads to a reduced saturation magnetization per formula unit of 0.747 μB. The Curie temperature is approximately 120 K. The transport properties are influenced by the change in the electronic structure at the Curie temperature, as revealed experimentally by conductivity, thermal transport and specific heat measurements. Different theoretical models based on ab initio calculations of the electronic structure are used to …
Investigation of Co$_2$FeSi: The Heusler compound with Highest Curie Temperature and Magnetic Moment
2006
This work reports on structural and magnetic investigations of the Heusler compound Co$_2$FeSi. X-Ray diffraction and M\"o\ss bauer spectrometry indicate an ordered $L2_1$ structure. Magnetic measurements by means of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and magnetometry revealed that this compound is, currently, the material with the highest magnetic moment ($6 \mu_B$) and Curie-temperature (1100K) in the classes of Heusler compounds as well as half-metallic ferromagnets.
Ferroelectric domains in BaTiO3powders and ceramics evidenced by X-ray diffraction
1995
Abstract Through three different studies, using BaTiO3 samples, as a powder while heating over the Curie temperature, and as a ceramic while applying an electric field, it is shown how X-ray diffraction (XRD) is able to give information about the evolution of the ferroelectric domain microstructure. Firstly, the relative intensities of the 002 and 200 lines, as a function of the applied electric field, exhibit the motion of the 90[ddot] domain walls. However, XRD is unable to provide any distinction between two 180[ddot] domains. Secondly, the profile of those two lines and of the other double (hhl), (lhh) lines is particular: the unusual diffracted intensity between such double lines has t…
Fine grain barium titanate: ferroelectric domains and X-ray diffraction diagram
2002
Through three different studies using various kinds of BaTiO/sub 3/ samples: as a powder while heating over the Curie temperature; as a green ceramic as a function of the forming pressure; as a ceramic while applying a D.C. field. It is shown how X-ray diffraction is able to give information about the evolution of the 90/spl deg/ ferroelectric domain microstructure.
A dq axis theory of the magnetic, thermal, and mechanical properties of Curie motor
2011
A dq axis theory of a thermomagnetic Curie motor is presented. This theory allows one to estimate the performances of a Curie motor from its geometrical, magnetic, and thermal properties. The proposed approach shows that the thermomagnetic Curie motor is equivalent from a magnetic point of view to a dc electric machine. The physical meaning of the parameters used in the dq theory of Curie motor is explicated. The theory is validated by using experimental data.
D-Q axis theory of thermomagnetic Curie motor
2010
This paper presents a the d-q axis theory of a thermomagnetic Curie motor. From this theory a maximization procedure of the performances of Curie motor has been developed. The proposed approach has shown that the thermomagnetic Curie motor is equivalent from a magnetic point of view to a d.c. electric machine. Consequently, a design of a Curie motor has been proposed and the calculated performances show a significant improvement in comparison to the performances reported in literature.

Magnetic and electronic properties of double perovskites and estimation of their Curie temperatures byab initiocalculations
2008
First principles electronic structure calculations have been carried out on ordered double perovskites Sr_2B'B"O_6 (for B' = Cr or Fe and B" 4d and 5d transition metal elements) with increasing number of valence electrons at the B-sites, and on Ba_2MnReO_6 as well as Ba_2FeMoO_6. The Curie temperatures are estimated ab initio from the electronic structures obtained with the local spin-density functional approximation, full-potential generalized gradient approximation and/or the LDA+U method (U - Hubbard parameter). Frozen spin-spirals are used to model the excited states needed to evaluate the spherical approximation for the Curie temperatures. In cases, where the induced moments on the oxy…

2017
Resume Introduction La curietherapie des cancers de la prostate s’est progressivement implantee dans l’arsenal therapeutique comme une alternative a la prostatectomie radicale et a la radiotherapie externe. Dans le groupe des patients presentant un cancer de pronostic favorable, les survies specifiques depassent 95 % a 10 ans. L’objectif de cette etude est de decrire la place actuelle et les pratiques de la curietherapie en France. Materiel et methodes Un questionnaire realise en association avec l’Association francaise d’urologie (AFU) et la Societe francaise de radiotherapie oncologique (SFRO) et evaluant les differentes pratiques de la curietherapie en France a ete adresse a tous les uro…
