Magnetic domains in magnetostrictive Fe–Ga alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lorentz microscopy was applied to the observation of magnetic domains in iron-gallium (Fe–Ga) alloys. Results did not show any link between the magnetic domains and the magnetostriction enhancement by Ga addition, but did reveal that the drastic decrease in magnetostriction for Fe–31.2 at. % Ga was due to the presence of large scale precipitates. Magnetic domain features did not change in the alloys of A2, D03, A2+D03,A2+B2+D03, and A2+fine scale precipitates. Large scale precipitates within the slow-cooled Fe–31.2 at. % Ga affected both the distribution and wall motion of magnetic domains.

Magnetomechanical performance of directionally solidified Fe–Ga alloys
Iron-gallium alloys can produce magnetostrictions of 400 ppm and might serve as mechanically robust actuator/sensing materials. However, for polycrystalline Fe–Ga alloys, the magnetostrictive performance decreases with the increasing deviations from the ideal 100 texture. In this paper, three directionally solidified Fe–Ga alloys with gallium contents of 17, 18.4, and 19.5 at. % were characteri...

Influence of external static magnetic fields on solidification, solid phase transformation of metallic materials have been reviewed in terms of Lorentz force, convection, magnetization, orientation, diffusion, and so on. However, the influence of external static magnetic fields on properties of metallic functional materials is rarely reviewed. In this paper, the effect of static magnetic fields...

Fe-Ga alloys of appropriate Ga concentration and heat treatment show a very large enhancement in the tetragonal magnetostriction over that of pure α-Fe [λ100(Fe-Ga)∼15λ100(Fe)]. In order to gain further understanding of the extraordinary magnetoelastic characteristics of this system, the spin dynamics of two of these alloys, Fe1−xGax (x=0.160 and 0.225), were studied using inelastic neutron sca...

Magnetostrictive Fe1 xGax alloys, as a new class of smart materials, have great potential in sensing and actuator applications. However, the fundamental understanding of the anisotropic elastic responses at high Ga concentration remains one of the most challenging problems for the binary alloys. Here, we apply the density functional theory and large-scale ab initio molecular dynamics simulation...
