The internal friction was measured between temperatures of 300 to 1200 K using an inverted torsion pendulum in the frequency range between 2 and 80 Hz. A strong damping is observed below the Curie temperature due to domain wall motion. Above the ferromagnetic transition temperature a relaxation maximum occurs at about 950 K. This relaxation can be assigned to the so-called Zener relaxation which is due to the stress-induced reorientation of short-range ordered Fe and Cr atoms, respectively. An analysis yielded an effective activation enthalpy of (3.1 ± 0.3) eV showing no significant dependence on the composition. The relaxation strength shows a maximum value near the equiatomic composition and decreases for lower and higher Cr contents. Furthermore, the influence of the a phase on the internal friction and the dynamic torsional shear modulus was studied on a single crystal with a Cr content of 48 at%. After annealing for 24 h at 973 K the torsional shear modulus increases with temperature up to over 1000K, indicating a hardening due to precipitates of the a phase.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"1 1","pages":"182-185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88347887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The particle sizes and shapes after reductive roasting are similar to those in the unroasted feed, but the roasted material may be slightly more porous. The copper impurity in the ferrite residue is reduced to an Ag-bearing copper alloy which occurs as inclusions along the grain boundaries of the (Fe, Zn)O phase. Some of the Sr sulphate present in the zinc ferrite residue is reduced to a Zn-Fe-Sr sulphide phase, and all of the initially present Fe 2 O 3 is reduced to (Fe, Zn)O.

The removal of the carbon is currently a major problem. Remelting of scraps should, therefore, be done on condition that the carbon content is lowered to an appropriate level prior to melting. The aim of this work was to open the route for decarburization of the Nd magnet powder scraps with high carbon, as well as of the sintered body scraps with moderate carbon concentration. Decarburization via oxidation in air allowed the removal of not only free carbon but also grain boundary carbides at temperatures higher than 1273 K down to 300 mass ppm. However, an increase in the oxygen content is inevitable with the high temperature oxidation. The next step was then to reduce the iron oxide by heating it in a hydrogen atmosphere at 1273 K and subsequently to eliminate the oxygen combined with the rare-earth constituent using calcium which has a strong affinity with oxygen. The basic technology for the recycling process of the permanent Nd-Fe-B magnet scraps was discussed.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"236 2 1","pages":"2487-2491"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85653379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The calculations are based on the generalized-gradient approximation in density-functional formalism, proposed by Perdew and Wang in 1991 (PW91-GGA), and apply the full-potential Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green's function method for perfect crystals and point defect systems, developed by the Julich group. First we show that the calculated hulk properties for all elements studied are in excellent agreement with the experimental results: the PW91-GGA corrects the deficiencies of the local spin density approximation for metals, i.e., the underestimation of o and the overestimation of B and the theoretical errors in a and B are reduced within ∼ 1% and ∼ 10% of experimental results, respectively. Second we show that E F V for most of fcc metals are reproduced within the experimental errors, while E F V for most of bcc metals are overestimated by 10%-20% of the experimental results. It is noted that the comparison with the experimental results needs the inclusion of the thermal lattice expansion effect in the first-principles calculations because most of the experimental results were derived from positron annihilation measurements at high temperatures. The remaining discrepancies between theory and experiment are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"64 1","pages":"2206-2215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90495835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We calculate the strain energy of the array of InAs islands on the GaAs substrate by the finite element method, and extract the elastic interaction between the islands from the variation of the energy with the distance between the islands. The interaction decays with the third power of the inter-island distance, in agreement with our previous work. The effect of the interaction on the correlation of the island positions is examined by comparing the coefficient of the interaction with the phase transition criteria of the two-dimensional dipole system. When the island size is large enough, depending on the island density, an array of islands can be in either a liquid phase where the islands are randomly distributed or in a solid phase where the islands form a two dimensional lattice. Only the liquid phase exists when the island size is small.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"3 1 1","pages":"2279-2282"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82230583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hydrogen-free specimen showed good ductility associated with pronounced blunting of the crack tip. Hydrogen influence was most serious in the specimen that had been hydrogen-charged in the notched (100) planes ahead of the crack tip. In the specimen that had been hydrogen-charged in the notched area, a hydrogen-assisted fracture occurred macroscopically on the (100) plane perpendicular to the tensile direction and the elongation at failure decreased with increasing hydrogen content. A low hydrogen content caused strain localization only, while a high hydrogen content caused microvoid formation in the notched area as well. The specimen containing a thin layer of hydride fractured and exhibited brittleness due to significant microvoid formation and subsequent microvoid growth and linkage at the early stage of deformation.

Analyzing the excited states we show that this model undergoes a second order phase transition at absolute zero temperature. From the divergence of the relative energy fluctuations, in the limit T → 0, we deduce that for T 0 the deviation of the chemical potential μ from its ground state value is linearly related to the partial derivative of the fraction of threefold coordinated Cu(1) ions n with respect to oxygen concentlation c. We use the cluster variation method (CVM) to determine the numerical value of the coefficient of this relation and find that it is equal to -1/2, independently of the values of the interaction parameters. This establishes a full equivalence between the ASYNNNI model and the one-dimensional Ising model, where the role of the nearest-neighbor interaction of the latter is played by the V 2 interaction in the former.
