The structures, ferromagnetism, spin glass and spin states of Co and Mn in a polycrystalline ceramic samples of GdCo/sub 1-x/Mn/sub x/O/sub 3/ (x = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) are presented. X-ray diffraction show that all the samples are single phase and crystallize as orthorhombic structures and that the lattice parameters gradually increase with x. Spin glass state and two peak features (corresponding to first order ferromagnetic and second order transition) in dc and ac susceptibility are observed. Curie-Wise fitting on the inverse susceptibility-temperature plots indicates that the valences of Co or Mn changed from 2+ or 4+ to 3+ when …


Data Management And Visualization Of X-Ray Diffraction Spectra From Thin Film Ternary Composition Spreads, I. Takeuchi, C. J. Long, O. O. Famodu, M. Murakami, Jason R. Hattrick-Simpers, G. W. Rubloff, M. Stukowski, K. Rajan Jan 2005

We discuss techniques for managing and visualizing x-ray diffraction spectrum data for thin film composition spreads which map large fractions of ternary compositional phase diagrams. An in-house x-ray microdiffractometer is used to obtain spectra from over 500 different compositions on an individual spread. The MATLAB software is used to quickly organize the data and create various plots from which one can quickly grasp different information regarding structural and phase changes across the composition spreads. Such exercises are valuable in rapidly assessing the “overall” picture of the structural evolution across phase diagrams before focusing in on specific composition regions for detailed …


Absence Of Ferromagnetism And Strong Orbital Coupling In Carrier Rich Zn/Sub 1-X/In/Sub X/Co/Sub 0.075/O, Xiaolin Wang, Germanas Peleckis, S X. Dou Jan 2005

Polycrystalline samples of Zn/sub 1-x/In/sub x/Co/sub 0.075/O (0.010/spl les/x/spl les/0.020) diluted magnetic semiconductors were prepared by the rapid oxalate decomposition technique. Phase purity is analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction technique and structures are refined by Rietveld refinement technique. Bulk conductivity of the polished pellets was measured by two-point probe technique at 295 K. Magnetic properties were analyzed with magnetic property measurement system. Samples show paramagnetic behavior and Curie-Weiss fitting at high temperature range gave effective magnetic moment of Co ions. Magnetization behavior caused by applied magnetic field was also investigated. High itinerant carrier concentration was achieved but no ferromagnetism …
