- ItemElectrical and magnetic properties of NiTiO3 nanoparticles synthesized by the sol-gel synthesis method and microwave sintering(Amsterdam : Elsevier B.V., 2019) Pavithra, C.; Madhuri, W.In this paper, we focused on microwave sintered NiTiO3 nanoparticles synthesized via sol-gel method. The crystal structure was determined by the X-ray diffraction. Vibrational bands related to Ni-O and Ti-O bands were confirmed using the Fourier transform infrared spectrum. These NiTiO3 ceramics obeyed semiconductor behavior of Arrhenius type. The activation energy was found to be 0.04 μeV. The M-H curve exhibited superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature.
- ItemUltrafast structural changes in SrTiO3 due to a superconducting phase transition in a YBa2Cu3O7 top layer(College Park, MD : Institute of Physics Publishing, 2010) Lübcke, A.; Zamponi, F.; Loetzsch, R.; Kämpfer, T.; Uschmann, I.; Große, V.; Schmidl, F.; Köttig, T.; Thürk, M.; Schwoerer, H.; Förster, E.; Seidel, P.; Sauerbrey, R.We investigate the structural response of SrTiO3 when Cooper pairs are broken in an epitaxially grown YBa2Cu3O 7 top layer due to both heating and optical excitation. The crystal structure is investigated by static, temperaturedependent and time-resolved x-ray diffraction. In the static case, a large strain field in SrTiO3 is formed in the proximity of the onset of the superconducting phase in the top layer, suggesting a relationship between both effects. For the time-dependent studies, we likewise find a large fraction of the probed volume of the SrTiO3 substrate strained if the top layer is superconducting. Upon optical breaking of Cooper pairs, the observed width of the rocking curve is reduced and its position is slightly shifted towards smaller angles. The dynamical theory of x-ray diffraction is used to model the measured rocking curves. We find that the thickness of the strained layer is reduced by about 200 nm on a sub-ps to ps timescale, but the strain value at the interface between SrTiO3 and YBa2Cu3O7 remains unaffected. © IOP Publishing Ltd and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.
- ItemSingle-crystalline FeCo nanoparticle-filled carbon nanotubes: Synthesis, structural characterization and magnetic properties(Frankfurt am Main : Beilstein-Institut zur Förderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2018) Ghunaim, R.; Scholz, M.; Damm, C.; Rellinghaus, B.; Klingeler, R.; Büchner, B.; Mertig, M.; Hampel, S.In the present work, we demonstrate different synthesis procedures for filling carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with equimolar binary nanoparticles of the type Fe-Co. The CNTs act as templates for the encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticles and provide a protective shield against oxidation as well as prevent nanoparticle agglomeration. By variation of the reaction parameters, we were able to tailor the sample purity, degree of filling, the composition and size of the filling particles, and therefore, the magnetic properties. The samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The Fe-Co-filled CNTs show significant enhancement in the coercive field as compared to the corresponding bulk material, which make them excellent candidates for several applications such as magnetic storage devices.
