نرم شدگی فونونهای انرژی بالا با گذار عایق - ابررسانا در سیستم ابررسانای Ba1-xKxBiO3
Single crystals of Ba1-xKxBiO3 compound for 0 < x <0.6 from insulator to superconducting region have been grown by electrochemical method. The crystals have been characterized by powder x-ray diffraction and Laue x-ray to determine the crystal structure, formed phases and potassium concentration. Inelastic x-ray scattering spectrum of the crystals has been studied to investigate the phonon pro...
متن کاملExperimental Study on the Magnetomechanical Characteristics of Ni-Mn-Ga Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloy Single Crystals
Magnetic shape memory properties of Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals were characterized by measurement of stress-induced martensite reorientation under constant magnetic fields. Also magnetic field-induced strain as a function of the applied magnetic field under different constant compressive stress levels has been investigated. All the experiments were performed at room temperature in which the sample...
متن کاملInternal magnetic field effect onmagnetoelectricity in orthorhombicRMnO3 crystals
We have investigated the role of the 4f moment on the magnetoelectric (ME) effect of orthorhombic RMnO3 (R=rare earth ions). In order to clarify the role of the 4f moment, we prepared three samples: (Eu,Y)MnO3 without the 4f moment, TbMnO3 with the anisotropic 4f moment, and (Gd,Y)MnO3 with the isotropic 4f moment. The ferroelectric behaviors of these samples are different from each other in a ...
متن کاملObservation of the Josephson effect in Pb/Ba1-xKxFe2As2 single crystal junctions.
We have fabricated c-axis Josephson junctions on single crystals of Ba1-xKxFe2As2 by using Pb as the counterelectrode in two geometries, planar and point contact. Junctions in both geometries show resistively shunted junction I-V curves below the T{C} of the counterelectrode. Microwave induced steps were observed in the I-V curves, and the critical currents are suppressed with an in-plane magne...

Nanostructured Ni1-xLnxSb2O6 (Ln = Eu, Gd, Ho and Yb) powders were synthesized via stoichiometric 1:2 Ni:Sb molar ratio by solid state reaction at 800 ºC for 8 h using Ni(NO3)2, Sb2O3, Eu2O3, Gd2O3 and Ho2O3 raw materials. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Structural analyses were done by FullProf program employing profile matching with constant ...
