Magnetic patterning: local manipulation of the intergranular exchange coupling via grain boundary engineering
Magnetic patterning, with designed spatial profile of the desired magnetic properties, has been a rising challenge for developing magnetic devices at nanoscale. Most existing methods rely on locally modifying magnetic anisotropy energy or saturation magnetization, and thus post stringent constraints on the adaptability in diverse applications. We propose an alternative route for magnetic patter...
متن کاملGrain-boundary engineering markedly reduces susceptibility to intergranular hydrogen embrittlement in metallic materials
The feasibility of using ‘‘grain-boundary engineering” techniques to reduce the susceptibility of a metallic material to intergranular embrittlement in the presence of hydrogen is examined. Using thermomechanical processing, the fraction of ‘‘special” grain boundaries was increased from 46% to 75% (by length) in commercially pure nickel samples. In the presence of hydrogen concentrations betwee...
متن کاملGrain-size dependence of intergranular magnetic correlations in nanostructured metals
Magnetic small-angle neutron scattering experiments were performed on nanostructured Fe, Co and Ni samples of varying grain size, produced by inert-gas condensation. The experiments show that the spontaneous spatial magnetic correlations forming in zero-field extend over many individual grains. These correlations depend strongly on grain size. In Fe, they have a minimum at a grain size of aroun...
متن کاملEngineering the interlayer exchange coupling in magnetic trilayers
When the thickness of metal film approaches the nanoscale, itinerant carriers resonate between its boundaries and form quantum well states (QWSs), which are crucial to account for the film's electrical, transport and magnetic properties. Besides the classic origin of particle-in-a-box, the QWSs are also susceptible to the crystal structures that affect the quantum resonance. Here we investigate...
متن کاملThe Role of the Boundary Plane in Grain Boundary Engineering
This paper reports new data on the distribution of grain boundary planes in commercially available GBE copper. The results show that nearly 60% of grain boundary length was Σ3, i.e. annealing twin related. There was a slightly enhanced proportion of {111} boundary planes, even after Σ3 boundary segments were excluded from the data set. There was a high proportion of boundary plane length on the...
