Directional solidification in gallium under strong magnetic field: NMR studies
Directional solidification in the strong magnetic field opens new perspectives in tailoring technologically important features of metals and metallic alloys. Here we use an Avance 400 NMR spectrometer to prove the orientation of metallic gallium upon crystallization, which was induced by the magnetic field of the spectrometer. About one third of the gallium sample was shown to have the particular orientation of the crystalline axes. The effect was observed for both α-Ga and metastable β-Ga. The orientation of the crystalline axes was revealed by the emergence of the narrow NMR lines similar to those in the gallium single crystals. The angular dependences of the NMR line frequencies were studied for α-Ga and were treated taking into account the quadrupole coupling and Knight shift. The crystalline a-axis was demonstrated to be aligned close to the magnetic field direction. The impact of the magnetic field on the gallium orientation at crystallization was found to be reproducible.
期刊介绍:
Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of solids and other condensed systems and also on their preparation. The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged.
A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental data. Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Solid State Communications now also welcomes original research articles without length restrictions.
The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
