Effect of the preparation method and grinding time of some mixed valency ferrite spinels on their cationic distribution and thermal stability toward …
1996
Abstract The reactivity in oxygen of several mixed valency ferrite spinels, namely Fe3O4, FeCr2O4, Fe3 − xTixO4 and Fe3 − xMoxO4 was investigated by derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) analysis as a function of the conditions of preparation and grinding. For all these compounds, low temperature preparation or prolonged grinding time enables small particles ( 0.5 μm), it was observed that oxidation was starting at higher temperature and that the defect spinel phases could not be retained during oxidation. This behaviour was attributed to the presence of stresses induced by the lattice parameter gradient and promoting the formation of nuclei of the α-rhombohedral phase from the superficial γ-de…
Mesoporous ZnFe2O4@TiO2 Nanofibers Prepared by Electrospinning Coupled to PECVD as Highly Performing Photocatalytic Materials
2017
International audience; Zinc ferrite @ titanium dioxide (ZnFe2O4@TiO2) composite nanofibers were elaborated by combining the two different techniques: electrospinning and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The nanofiber compositions were controlled using different ratios of zinc to iron. Their structural, morphological, and optical properties were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, BET surface area, Raman spectroscopy, and UV–visible spectrophotometry. The photocatalytic activity has been investigated by the degradation of methylene blue under visible light. The results indicate that the combination of spinel st…
Characterization of Different Cable Ferrite Materials to Reduce the Electromagnetic Noise in the 2–150 kHz Frequency Range
2017
The gap of standardization for conducted and field coupled electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in the 2–150 kHz frequency range can lead to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) problems. This is caused by power systems such as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controlled rectifiers, photovoltaic inverters or charging battery units in electric vehicles. This is a very important frequency spectral due to interferences generated in a wide range of devices and, specifically, communication problems in the new technologies and devices incorporated to the traditional grid to convert it into a Smart Grid. Consequently, it is necessary to provide new solutions to attenuate this kind of interference, which…
Degradation of fluoride-free MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-53(Fe) in water: Effect of temperature and pH
2016
Abstract The degradation in liquid water of two iron-containing MOFs MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-53(Fe) synthesized in fluoride-free conditions was studied. It was found that dispersing the MOFs in deionized water (1 mg/mL) results in the decrease of pH to 2.9 for MIL-100(Fe) and to 4.5 for MIL-53(Fe). Given this finding the stability of the MOFs in liquid water was characterized under two different sets of conditions: 1) reflux in water at 100 °C under obtained pH and 2) at ambient temperature under adjusted pH 7. After reflux of MIL-100(Fe) at 100 °C its XRD pattern remains unchanged, however a strong decrease of its BET surface area and appearance of α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles point out to a parti…
Effect of antisite defects on the magnetic properties of ZnFe2 O4
2013
Magnetic zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanopowders were synthesized using the sol–gel autocombustion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements demonstrated that thermal decomposition of the 1-mm-thick xerogel layers in air formed monophasic spinel ferrite nanopowders with a particle size less than 30 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the obtained reaction product contained antisite defects, with zinc ions occurring at the octahedral sites of the spinel structure. The concentration of antisite defects or inversion degree decreased when the relatively low annealing temperature was increased from 150 to 500 °C. Overall, the obtained ZnFe2…
Spin structure and spin Hall magnetoresistance of epitaxial thin films of the insulating non-collinear antiferromagnet SmFeO3
2019
We report a combined study of imaging the antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin structure and measuring the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in epitaxial thin films of the insulating non-collinear antiferromagnet SmFeO$_3$. X-ray magnetic linear dichroism photoemission electron microscopy measurements reveal that the AFM spins of the SmFeO$_3$(110) align in the plane of the film. Angularly dependent magnetoresistance measurements show that SmFeO$_3$/Ta bilayers exhibit a positive SMR, in contrast to the negative SMR expected in previously studied collinear AFMs. The SMR amplitude increases linearly with increasing external magnetic field at higher magnetic field, suggesting that field-induced canti…
White Etching Crack Root Cause Investigations
2014
White etching crack (WEC) failure is distinct to classical fatigue and driven by the composition of lubricants under special loading conditions; for example, slippage and electricity. The white etching area (WEA) within WEC contains carbon supersaturated ferrite (bcc-iron) and carbides, with a size of a few nanometers. This article presents investigations supporting the hypothesis that WEC processes start within a failure-free period by successive accumulation of a structural distortion. This can be measured by acoustic emission. Failure statistics show a steep ascent in the Weibull diagram (s values beyond 1) leading to the assumption that WEC processes start unsuspicious, as one would see…
Effect of additives on the crystallization of cordierite-based glass-ceramics as glazes for floor tiles
2003
Abstract The effect of several additives such as fluxes and/or nucleants on a parent glass with composition located in the primary field of cordierite within the quaternary system CaO–MgO–Al 2 O 3 –SiO 2 has been examined. Crystallization path of glasses was determined by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Pressed pellets of powdered glasses containing different additives were submitted at thermal treatments up to 1200 °C. The microstructural development at several temperatures was followed by field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The results shown that additions of TiO 2 as nucleant and/or B 2 O 3 as flux to a…
Mechanical and thermomechanical properties of radiation modified poly(ethylene-octene)/Ni-Zn ferrite nanocomposites
2013
Poly(ethylene-1-octene) copolymer (POE) composites filled with nickel-zinc ferrite nanoparticles have been modified by exposure to an electron beam at doses up to 500 kGy. The influence of radiation dose and ferrite content on mechanical properties has been investigated. Thermomechanical properties – thermorelaxation stresses formed in thermal heating and thermo residual stresses resulting in the process of full setting and cooling of materials have been investigated for radiation cross-linked oriented (extended up to 100%) composite samples. Increase of concentration of ferrite particles and increase of radiation dose affects a notable increase of elastic modulus and reduces the deformabil…
EMI shielding effects of carbon nanotube cellulose nanocomposite
2010
Electromagnetic interference shielding is an important aspect of modern communication and computer technology. Carbon nanotube cellulose nanocomposite (CNTCNC) provides a novel material as an alternative to traditional metal-based shields for EMI shielding. Stratified structures containing CNTCNC layers combined with existing commercial lossy materials (like ferrite sheets) form effective EMI shields without lowering the signal integrity performance. Significant improvement in shielding effectiveness in stacked CNTCNC layers is noteworthy. CNTCNC is essentially like paper when it comes to flexibility and hence it can be easily conformed to the mechanical structure of the device in need of s…
