The magnetic properties of a series of Ce2Fe17-xSix solid solutions with x equal to 0.0, 0.23, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.02, 1.98, and 3.20 have been studied by magnetic measurements, neutron diffraction, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. An x-ray-diffraction study indicates that the compounds adopt the rhombohedral Th2Zn 17-type structure. The substitution of silicon for iron in Ce 2Fe17 leads to a contraction of the a axis by 0.2%, an expansion of the c axis by 0.2%, and a consequent reduction of the unit-cell volume by about 0.2% per substituted silicon. Magnetization studies …

Superlattices in the Pb-Tl-O system with layer thicknesses in the 4-6 nm range were electrodeposited from a single aqueous solution by pulsing the applied potential during deposition. The current-time transients that resulted from the potential steps were monitored to both calculate and tailor the composition profiles of the superlattices during growth. The Cottrell method was used to determine that Tl(l) oxidation was diffusion limited at high potentials. The diffusion limitation resulted in a composition profile that was graded throughout the layer with a t-1/2 dependence. Superlattices grown at lower potentials in which both reactants were under kinetic control had …
