简介:Inthisarticle,theSm-dopingsinglecrystalsCa1-xSmxFe2As2(x=00.2)werepreparedbytheCaAsfluxmethod,andfollowedbyarapidquenchingtreatmentafterthehightemperaturegrowth.Thesampleswerecharacterizedbystructural,resistive,andmagneticmeasurements.ThesuccessfulSm-substitutionwasrevealedbythereductionofthelatticeparameterc,duetothesmallerionicradiusofSm3+thanCa2+.SuperconductivitywasobservedinallsampleswithonsetTcvaryingfrom27Kto44KuponSm-doping.ThecoexistenceofacollapsedphasetransitionandthesuperconductingtransitionwasfoundforthelowerSm-dopingsamples.ZeroresistivityandsubstantialsuperconductingvolumefractiononlyhappeninhigherSm-dopingcrystalswiththenominalx>0.10.Thedopingdependencesofthec-axislengthandonsetTcweresummarized.Thehigh-TcobservedinthesequenchedcrystalsmaybeattributedtosimultaneoustuningofelectroncarriersdopingandstraineffectcausedbylatticereductionofSm-substitution.
简介:Inthiswork,boththethermalexpansionandelectricalconductivityofnanocrystallineLa2Mo2O9werestudied.ThenanocrystallinepowderofLa2Mo2O9wasobtainedbysol-gelmethod,andwiththehelpofSHP(superhighpressure)upto4.5×104atmat700℃forashorttime,andthenanocrystallinepowderwasdensifiedwithoutobviousparticlesizegrowth.TheelectricalconductivityofnanocrystallineLa2Mo2O9wasoneorderofmagnitudelowerthanthatofthemicrocrystallinesampleatthesametemperature.Owingtothephasetransition,themicrocrystallineLa2Mo2O9hasanabruptincreaseofthermalexpansionwithapeakvalueof48×10-6K-1at556℃.Forthenanocrystallinematerial,thepeakvalueincreasesto112×10-6K-1at520℃.Ontheotherhand,above600℃thesignificantgrowthofparticlesizeofthenanocrystallineLa2Mo2O9wasobserved,accompanyingbyatremendousincreaseofthermalexpansionwithapeakvalueofthirdhigherthanthatofLa2Mo2O9.
简介:Basedonthethermodynamicallyself-consistentanalysisandoptimizationofthreesub-binarysystemsoftheternarysystemPrCl3-CaCl2-MgCl2,thethermodynamicsofthisternarysystemhasbeenstudied.UsingHillertmodelandtakingMgCl2asanasymmetriccomponent,thePrCl3-CaCl2-MgCl2phasediagramhasbeencalculated.Theagreementbetweencalculatedandmeasuredcompositionsandtemperaturesatdeflectingpointsonliquidusisgood.Thesystemisasimpleeutecticonewithaeutecticpointat26.0mol%PrCl3,41.5mol%CaCl2,32.5mol%MgCl2;560℃(calculated)and26.0mol%PrCl3,39.4mol%CaCl2,34.6mol%MgCl2;546℃(measured),respectively.
