Properties of the quaternary half-metal-type Heusler alloyCo2Mn1−xFexSi

2006

This paper reports on the bulk properties of the quaternary Heusler alloy Co2Mn1�xFexSi with the Fe concentration x =0,1/2,1. All samples, which were prepared by arc melting, exhibit L21 long-range order over the complete range of Fe concentration. The structural and magnetic properties of the Co2Mn1�xFexSi Heusler alloys were investigated by means of x-ray diffraction, high- and low-temperature magnetometry, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The electronic structure was explored by means of highenergy photoemission spectroscopy at about 8 keV photon energy. This ensures true bulk sensitivity of the measurements. The magnetization of the Fe-doped Heusler alloys …

Optical characterization of YCa4O(BO3)3 and Nd:YCa4O(BO3)3 crystals

2007

International audience; We report a complete optical characterization of YCa4O(BO3)3 and Nd:YCa4O(BO3)3 crystals. We studied the relative orientation between the dielectric and the crystallographic frames as a function of the wavelength and performed accurate phase-matching angles measurements for second harmonic generation, using a single crystal cut as a sphere. We also recorded polarized luminescence spectra of Nd:YCOB along the principal axes of the dielectric frame. For both crystals, we measured the gray-tracking and the thermo-optic properties as a function of temperature and wavelength using oriented slabs. Finally, we measured all their dielectric and electro-optic coefficients, as…

Trivalent cation substitution of pulverulent cobalt—iron molybdates Co1 − xFexMoO4

1998

Abstract Different mixed cobalt—iron molybdates Co1 − xFexMoO4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been prepared by means of a ceramic process. The oxidation of pulverulent samples leads to ferric molybdate Fe2(MoO4)3, spinelle Co3O4 and cobalt molybdate CoMoO4. After a strong grinding which reduces the grain size (about 0.1 μm) and induces crystallographic defects in the grains, the cobalt—iron molybdates can be partially oxidized into cation-deficient phases. This oxidation corresponds to an isostructural substitution of part of the Fe2+ and Co2+ ions by Fe3+ and Co3+ ions and the creation of cation vacancies. The concomitant presence of trivalent cations and associated cation vacancies in the lattice stabi…
