Temperature-Dependent Resistivity Of Highly Disordered Ni-Cr-Al Alloys , R. Hight, C. Plough, David J. Sellmyer May 1984

Temperature-Dependent Resistivity Of Highly Disordered Ni-Cr-Al Alloys , R. Hight, C. Plough, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Measurements are reported on the electrical resistivity of highly disordered Ni-Cr-Al films between 4.2 and 300 K. X-ray diffraction measurements show the films to be crystalline with a bcc structure. Negative temperature coefficients are observed and the resistivity data above about 50 K can be fitted by the expression ρ(T)=ρ0 [1-cln(T22)], where Δ depends on the heat treatment of the sample.

Spin-Glass-Like Freezing In Disordered Mnpd3 And Crpd3 Alloys, M.H. Rashid, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

We report studies of dc and ac susceptibility and high-field magnetization on disordered samples of MnPd3 and CrPd3. Both samples undergo spin-glass-like transitions, as is evident from susceptibility peaks at 45 and 37 K, respectively. The effective paramagnetic moments deduced from Curie–Weiss fits of the susceptibility in the paramagnetic region are 0.38µB/Mn and 0.4µB/Cr. Both materials show saturation effects at high applied fields and a flat χ(T) below the spin-freezing temperature in the field-cooled state. The data are discussed in terms of a cluster-glass model with local antiferromagnetic interactions. Journal of …

Effect Of Anisotropy Strength On Phase Transitions In Random Anisotropy Magnets, Michael J. O'Shea, David J. Sellmyer Nov 1982

Effect Of Anisotropy Strength On Phase Transitions In Random Anisotropy Magnets, Michael J. O'Shea, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

ac susceptibility and magnetization measurements are reported for a number of Gd and Tb based glasses. Raman magnetic anisotropy effects are observed in both the Gd and Tb glasses. The Gd glasses show a transition to an infinite susceptibility state and in some cases a further transition to an hysteretic state at low temperatures in which field-cooling and magnetic viscosity effects are observed. The Tb glass shows only a small speromagnetic peak at low temperatures. The ratio of anisotropy strength to exchange was varied in the Gd glasses by alloying, and the effect of this on the resulting magnetic states …


Magnetic And Crystallization Studies Of Splat-Cooled Praseodymium–Gallium–Iron Alloys, George C. Hadjipanayis, S.H. Woollins, R.C. Hazelton, K.R. Lawless, R. Prestipino, David J. Sellmyer Nov 1982

Magnetic And Crystallization Studies Of Splat-Cooled Praseodymium–Gallium–Iron Alloys, George C. Hadjipanayis, S.H. Woollins, R.C. Hazelton, K.R. Lawless, R. Prestipino, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic hysteresis and crytallization studies are reported for several (Pr80Ga20)100-xFex metallic glasses, where 30≤x≤80. Thermomagnetic data show the presence of two magnetic phases which are probably responsible for the relatively high coercive fields observed at cryogenic temperatures. As the iron content of the sample is increased, the magnetic moment increases substantially but the coercivity is drastically reduced. In (Pr80Ga20)70Fe30 the observed coercive fields are strongly temperature dependent indicating strong thermal activation effects which are consistent with the magnetic viscosity measurements. The hard magnetic properties disappear after …


Magnetic Properties Of Hydrides Of Rare Earth–Transition Metal Glasses, C.G. Robbins, Z.D. Chen, J.G. Zhao, Michael J. O'Shea, David J. Sellmyer Nov 1982

Magnetic Properties Of Hydrides Of Rare Earth–Transition Metal Glasses, C.G. Robbins, Z.D. Chen, J.G. Zhao, Michael J. O'Shea, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

The effect of hydrogen on magnetic properties of metallic glasses of the form (R80Ga20)1-xTxHy where R=Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Er; T=Cr, Fe, Co, B; 0≤x≤0.3 and 0≤y≤1.7 is reported. The anisotropic rare earth glasses without H all exhibit speromagnetic (spin-glass-like) transitions and the effect of hydrogen, in most cases, is to lower the peak in χac significantly but leave TC relatively unchanged. For the Gd glass with T=Fe and x=0.1 the introduction of H at the level y=0.55 causes a large decrease in TC and a significant increase …


Resistivity And Galvanomagnetic Coefficients Of Iron Group Metallic Glasses With Chromium Substitutions, J.R. Long, George C. Hadjipanayis, David J. Sellmyer Nov 1982

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic field and temperature dependences of the electrical resistivities and Hall resistivities were measured for the metallic glass ferromagnets Fe13Ni60Cr5Si10B12, Fe37Ni36Cr5Si10B12, Fe81B13.5Si3.5C2, and Fe5Co75Si15B5. Resistance minima and magnetoresistivity of the FeNiCr glasses have been found to be consistent with a modified Kondo model of low temperature scattering. The Hall resistivities are positive and large. The spontaneous Hall coefficients of the FeNiCr glasses are in …

Electron Transport In Tb- And Pr-Based Metallic Glasses, S.G. Cornelison, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Electrical resistivity measurements are reported on several metallic glasses based on Pr and Tb, and Ga and various transition metals as the glass formers. In general negative temperature coefficients were observed and these are discussed in terms of the extended Ziman theory and the tunneling or localization theory. Low temperature structure in the resistivity can be understood with the coherent exchange scattering model of Asomoza et al.

Giant Coercivities And Chemical Short-Range Order In Pr-Ga-Fe Metallic Glasses, S.G. Cornelison, David J. Sellmyer, J.G. Zhao, Z.D. Chen Mar 1982

Giant Coercivities And Chemical Short-Range Order In Pr-Ga-Fe Metallic Glasses, S.G. Cornelison, David J. Sellmyer, J.G. Zhao, Z.D. Chen

David Sellmyer Publications

Results of magnetic, Mössbauer, and structural studies are presented for (Pr80Ga20)100-xFex metallic glasses, where 0≤x≤30. For x≥20 two magnetic transitions are observed and the structural studies indicate the presence of a phase separation into at least two glassy phases, one being Fe-rich and the other Fe-deficient. Coercivities above 60 kOe are observed and the results are discussed in terms of a model involving the magnetic properties of the two phases.

Are Vpd3 And Nbpd3 Itinerant Ferromagnets?, W.L. Burmester, David J. Sellmyer Mar 1982

Are Vpd3 And Nbpd3 Itinerant Ferromagnets?, W.L. Burmester, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Low-field magnetic susceptibility and high-field magnetization results are reported for polycrystalline samples of NbPd3, VPd3, and iron doped VPd3. Recent self-consistent, spin-polarized band calculations have predicted that the pure compounds are itinerant ferromagnets. Down to 1.6 K there is no evidence for either magnetic ordering or exchange enhancement in VPd3 and NbPd3. The Fe-doped alloys exhibit transitions at low temperatures to a magnetic cluster-glass state. Journal of Applied Physics is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.

Magnetic And Electrical Properties Of Iron-Nickel-Chromium-Metalloid Glasses, H. Sadate-Akhavi, George C. Hadjipanayis, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

The magnetic and electrical properties of amorphous (Fe1-xNix)78-yCrySi10B12 alloys have been measured between 4.2 and 300 K. Alloys with x≤0.9 and y=5 order ferromagnetically. High-field magnetization measurements show saturation in moderate fields suggesting a relatively high value of magnetic anisotropy which was estimated to be K≃106 erg/cm3. The magnetization at low temperatures follows a T3/2 law leading to a spin-wave stiffness coefficient D≃90 meV Å2. The x=1, y=5 alloy behaves like a "cluster glass" with a cluster ordering temperature around 20 …


Rare-Earth-Rich Metallic Glasses. I. Magnetic Hysteresis, George C. Hadjipanayis, David J. Sellmyer, B. Brandt Apr 1981

Rare-Earth-Rich Metallic Glasses. I. Magnetic Hysteresis, George C. Hadjipanayis, David J. Sellmyer, B. Brandt

David Sellmyer Publications

An anomalous magnetic behavior has been observed in rare-earch-rich metallic glasses of the composition (R75Au25)100-xBx where R denotes Pr, Gd, Tb, Er and x=0,10. The observed hysteresis in all samples except Gd at liquid-helium temperatures is due to the large anisotropy which develops below the ordering temperature. High-field-magnetization measurements up to 220 kOe were used to determine the spontaneous magnetization and the magnetic anisotropy constant which was found to be of order 108 erg/cm3 for the Tb and Er glasses. These parameters were used together with the observed remanence ratio to …


Rare-Earth-Rich Metallic Glasses. Ii. Magnetic Viscosity, George C. Hadjipanayis, David J. Sellmyer Apr 1981

Rare-Earth-Rich Metallic Glasses. Ii. Magnetic Viscosity, George C. Hadjipanayis, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic viscosity measurements on amorphous Tb75Au25 and (Er65Fe35)90B10 alloys are presented in the temperature range of 1.3 to 30 K. The magnetization in a steady magnetic field is found to follow a logarithmic time dependence for times up to 400 s suggesting a spectrum of activation energies. The magnetic viscosity parameters were used to investigate the temperature dependence of the observed large coercive fields and to study intrinsic temperature and thermal activation effects. It is found that the large change of the coercive field at very low temperatures is mainly …

Magnetic Properties Of Rare Earth-Gallium-Iron Glasses, S.G. Cornelison, David J. Sellmyer, George C. Hadjipanayis

David Sellmyer Publications

Results of magnetic susceptibility, high-field magnetization, and Mössbauer effect are reported for several R-Ga and R-Ga-Fe metallic glasses, where R = Pr and Tb. Magnetic ordering temperatures, effective moments, and coercive forces were determined. In certain cases the data indicate that the low temperature states of magnetic order are asperomagnetic or spin-glass-like. For (Pr80Ga20)80Fe20, several anomalies were observed including a large coercive field (45 kOe) at 100 K. Journal of Applied Physics is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.


Magnetic Ordering And Exchange Interactions In The Rare-Earth Gallium Compounds R Ga2, T.-H. Tsai, David J. Sellmyer Dec 1979

Magnetic Ordering And Exchange Interactions In The Rare-Earth Gallium Compounds R Ga2, T.-H. Tsai, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic ordering and indirect exchange interactions were studied in the series of hexagonal rare-earth intermetallic compounds R Ga2, where R denotes Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er. The magnetic susceptibility (χ) of polycrystalline samples was measured at low fields, from 1.5 K to about 300 K; the magnetization (M) versus applied magnetic field (H) of these polycrystalline samples and a HoGa2 single crystal was measured up to 80 kOe at low temperatures; the resistivities (ρ) of CeGa2, GdGa2, DyGa2, and HoGa2 were measured …


Magnetically Dilute Metallic Glasses. Ii. 4F Moments, G.R. Gruzalski, David J. Sellmyer Jul 1979

Magnetically Dilute Metallic Glasses. Ii. 4F Moments, G.R. Gruzalski, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic-susceptibility and high-field magnetization measurements are presented for amorphous Zr40Cu600-xMx (M denoting Gd and Tb), with x ranging from zero to ten. Effective moments of magnetic solutes were determined by fitting susceptibility data to the Curie-Weiss expression. The moments of Gd and Tb are very close to those expected for trivalent ions and the paramagnetic Weiss temperatures are positive. Saturation did not occur in any of the samples, even at 80 kOe and 1.3 K; however, the alloys containing Gd approached normalized magnetization values of unity. High-field hysteresis loops were used to obtain the …


Magnetically Dilute Metallic Glasses. I. 3D Moments, G.R. Gruzalski, David J. Sellmyer Jul 1979

Magnetically Dilute Metallic Glasses. I. 3D Moments, G.R. Gruzalski, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic-susceptibility and high-field magnetization measurements are presented for amorphous Zr40Cu50M10 (M denoting Fe, Mn) and Nb50Ni50-xFex, with x ranging from zero to about ten. Curie-Weiss fits to the susceptibility data were made to determine effective moments peff and paramagnetic Weiss temperatures, ⊖. The small values of peff suggest the presence of moment instabilities depending on local environment, and the negative ⊖ values suggest antiferromagnetic local-moment-conduction-electron interactions. The Fe alloys develop hysteresis at low temperatures indicating the presence of a magnetically ordered state. These alloys can be …

Magnetic Properties Of Iron-Doped Layer-Structure Dichalcogenides , S.J. Hillenius, R.V. Coleman, E.R. Domb, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic-susceptibility measurements have been made on dilute excess Fe alloys of the layer-structure crystals TaSe2, NbSe2, and TaS2. The 2H selenides show local-moment formation and obey a Curie-Weiss law in the range 300-30 K with effective moments in the range (2.5-4.5)μB. For 2H-FexTaSe2 a strong susceptibility maximum is observed at low temperature and at low fields the maximum has a cusplike shape characteristic of a "spin-glass" type transition. The temperature of the maximum scales approximately linearly with Fe concentration and reaches 13 K for x=0.10. …


Electronic Properties And Superconductivity Of Zr-Pd Glasses, G.R. Gruzalski, J.A. Gerber, David J. Sellmyer Apr 1979

Electronic Properties And Superconductivity Of Zr-Pd Glasses, G.R. Gruzalski, J.A. Gerber, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Electrical-resistivity measurements between 1.4 and 300 K and room-temperature magnetic-susceptibility measurements were performed on the metallic glasses ZrxPd1-x, for x=0.59, 0.63, 0.67, and 0.70. The samples, prepared by a modified hammer-anvil technique, exhibit negative temperature coefficients of the resistivity at temperatures from about 10 to 300 K. These data can be understood in terms of the extended Ziman theory if it is assumed that Zr and Pd contribute about 2 and 1 conduction electrons, respectively. Assuming that the magnetic susceptibility is a qualitative measure of the electronic density of states at the Fermi level, N …


Magnetic Properties Of The Rare-Earth Glasses (R65Fe35)100-XBX, J.A. Gerber, S.G. Cornelison, W.L. Burmester, David J. Sellmyer Mar 1979

Magnetic Properties Of The Rare-Earth Glasses (R65Fe35)100-XBX, J.A. Gerber, S.G. Cornelison, W.L. Burmester, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Results are reported on the magnetic properties of (R65Fe35)100-xBx glasses, where R denotes Y, Gd, and Er, and x is 10 or 20. Curie-Weiss fits were made to high temperature susceptibility data to determine average effective moments per magnetic ion and Weiss temperatures. Hysteresis loops and modified Arrott plots were used to determine the spontaneous magnetizations, coercive forces, and ordering temperatures. The effective moments and spontaneous moments are compared with those calculated on the assumption of local moments on both magnetic subnetworks, and assuming various spin structures. There is evidence for moment instabilities …


Effect Of Random Anisotropy On Magnetic Properties Of Amorphous Systems, J.D. Patterson, G.R. Gruzalski, David J. Sellmyer Aug 1978

Effect Of Random Anisotropy On Magnetic Properties Of Amorphous Systems, J.D. Patterson, G.R. Gruzalski, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

We consider the random anisotropy model for amorphous magnetism by making a local-mean-field approximation (LMFA) on arrays of spin-one particles. Hysteresis loops and the temperature (T) dependence of several thermodynamic quantities are presented for various values of the ratio of the strength of the exchange (J) to the strength of the uniaxial anisotropy (D). Using the LMFA limits us to systems with a small number (N) of spins, of which we explicitly consider N=64, 216, and 1000. We assume periodic boundary conditions on a system with N1/3 spins along …


Magnetic Ordering And Local Random Anisotropy In Dilute Magnetic Glasses, G.R. Gruzalski, J.D. Patterson, David J. Sellmyer Mar 1978

Magnetic Ordering And Local Random Anisotropy In Dilute Magnetic Glasses, G.R. Gruzalski, J.D. Patterson, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic susceptibility and high-field magnetization measurements are presented for amorphous Zr40Cu60-xMx (M denoting Fe, Mn, Gd, and Tb) and Nb50Ni50-xFex, with x ranging from zero to about ten. The alloys for M=Gd, Tb, and Fe develop low-temperature ordered states that are characterized as spin glass like, whereas the Mn alloy exhibits no evidence of order down to 1.3 K. The magnetic properties of these alloys are discussed in terms of local random anisotropy, fluctuations in the interimpurity exchange interactions, extremely short electron-mean-free paths, antiferromagnetic interactions between the …


Magnetic Properties Of The Rare-Earth Intermetallics RGa2, T.H. Tsai, J.A. Gerber, John W. Weymouth, David J. Sellmyer Mar 1978

Magnetic Properties Of The Rare-Earth Intermetallics RGa2, T.H. Tsai, J.A. Gerber, John W. Weymouth, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

The magnetic susceptibility (χ) of polycrystalline samples of RGa2, R=Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er, has been measured at low field, from 1.5 K to 300 K. The magnetization of these samples also has been measured up to 80 kOe at low temperatures. Antiferromagnetic behavior was observed for all the samples with Neel temperatures (TN) ranging from about 4.1 K for CeGa2 to about 14.8 K for TbGa2. Curie-Weiss fits to the high-temperature χ (T) data led to effective moments in good agreement with those expected for …


Magnetic Ordering In Amorphous Nd-Co, Gd-Co And Er-Co Alloys, J.A. Gerber, D.J. Miller, David J. Sellmyer Mar 1978

Magnetic Ordering In Amorphous Nd-Co, Gd-Co And Er-Co Alloys, J.A. Gerber, D.J. Miller, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Previous studies of magnetism in amorphous rare earth–transition metal alloys have emphasized alloys rich in transition metal. We report here results on three rare earth rich amorphous alloys: Nd64Co36, Gd65Co35, and Er65Co35. Low field susceptibility, χ, was measured for T in the range 4.2 K≤T≤300 K and magnetization was measured for 1.3≤T≤200 K and applied fields, H, of 0≤H≤80 kOe. Curie-Weiss fits were made to high temperature χ (T) data to determine average effective moments and Weiss temperatures. Hysteresis …


Ferromagnetic And Spin-Glass Ordering In Fe-Doped AuXPd1-X Alloys, E.R. Domb, David J. Sellmyer, T.M. Quick, R.J. Borg Mar 1978

Ferromagnetic And Spin-Glass Ordering In Fe-Doped AuXPd1-X Alloys, E.R. Domb, David J. Sellmyer, T.M. Quick, R.J. Borg

David Sellmyer Publications

Ferromagnetic and spin-glass ordering has been studied in (AuxPd1-x)1-cFec alloys for 0<~x<~1 and 0<~c≲0.06. Magnetic susceptibility, high-field magnetization, and Mössbauer measurements have been performed between liquid-helium and room temperature. For small x, the alloys are strongly exchange enhanced. Assuming that the local-moment-conduction-electron exchange coupling J is independent of x, and employing the Takahashi-Shimizu-Doniach-Wohlfarth theory, we obtain J=0.12 eV from the saturation moment versus host susceptibility data. The theory, however, fails to describe the interimpurity coupling that leads to magnetic order in the Pd-rich alloys. A simple phenomenological model, based on the ferromagnetic coupling of all the giant polarization clouds except those that are "isolated," gives qualitative agreement with the …


Electronic And Magnetic Properties Of Amorphous And Crystalline Zr40Cu60-XFeX Alloys, F.R. Szofran, G.R. Gruzalski, John W. Weymouth, David J. Sellmyer, B.C. Giessen Sep 1976

Electronic And Magnetic Properties Of Amorphous And Crystalline Zr40Cu60-XFeX Alloys, F.R. Szofran, G.R. Gruzalski, John W. Weymouth, David J. Sellmyer, B.C. Giessen

David Sellmyer Publications

Electronic states and localized magnetic moments and their interactions were studied in amorphous and crystalline Zr40Cu60-xFex alloys for 0≤x≤12. Electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and high-field magnetization measurements were performed. In the dilute crystalline alloys Curie-Weiss behavior is seen in the susceptibility and is associated with localized moments (μeff≈3μB) on the iron atoms. At higher iron concentrations ferromagnetism is observed. Curie-Weiss behavior also is seen in the susceptibility of the dilute (0eff≈0.7μB). There is some evidence that the local environment of the Fe atoms is important and may depend …

Magnetic Interactions And High-Field Magnetization In Dilute Magnetic Alloys , J.M. Franz, David J. Sellmyer Sep 1973

Magnetic Interactions And High-Field Magnetization In Dilute Magnetic Alloys , J.M. Franz, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic interactions have been investigated in Cu(Mn) and Cu(Fe) alloys with concentrations ranging from several hundred to several thousand ppm. In each system two sets of alloys were prepared in different ways to test for sensitivity to structrual modifications. In the Cu(Mn) alloys there was very little difference in magnetic properties of the two sets of alloys which is consistent with the expectation that the Cu(Mn) alloys form good random solid solutions. The magnetic properties were compared with the recent mean-random-field theory of Klein in the low-temperature limit. It was found that the theory is able to explain the concentration …


Magnetoresistance In Iron And Cobalt To 150 Koe , R.V. Coleman, R.C. Morris, David J. Sellmyer Jul 1973

Magnetoresistance In Iron And Cobalt To 150 Koe , R.V. Coleman, R.C. Morris, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetoresistance anisotropy and field dependence have been studied in single crystals of iron and cobalt in fields up to 150 kOe in the temperature range 1-4.2 K. The crystals of iron and cobalt had residual resistance ratios up to ∼4600 and ∼400, respectively. The relation Δρ/ρ0=aBn has been studied for both metals and in the case of iron the exponent n approaches values in the range 1.8-1.9 for fields up to 90 kOe and then decreases to the range 1.3-1.5 at 150 kOe. This decrease in the exponent has been observed for all field and current …
