In order to improve the magnetic properties of soft magnetic composites (SMCs), the Fe-based amorphous powder cores (AMPCs) based on spherical FeSiBCCr amorphous magnetic powders coated with inorganic-organic (TiO2-epoxy resin) hybrid insulating layer were prepared. The influence of annealing temperature on the soft magnetic properties of the AMPCs has been systematically researched in this work. It was found that the reasonable annealing temperature could increase the permeability and decrease the core loss of the AMPCs. The AMPCs annealed at 480 degrees C showed a constant permeability of 81.5 up to 10 MHz, and low total core loss of 275 mW/cm(3). This study demonstrated that the present Fe-based AMPCs with inorganic-organic hybrid insulating layer have a great promising future in the field of medium and high frequency for the various electronic components.

Dynamic structures and electrochemical behavior during the formation of trivalent chromium-based conversion coating on Zn

Xiahe Liu, Laibin Wang, Mei Wang, Fenghua Li, Junjie Gao, Jiawei Li

Summary: The growth processes of trivalent chromium-based conversion coatings on galvanized steel at room temperature were investigated. The results revealed that the integrity of bi-layers formed at a specific stage enhanced corrosion resistance and film compactness. However, the protection of the surface film weakened after a certain stage, leading to the formation of defective bi-layers with mixed kinetic-diffusion control. The thermodynamic stability, layer growth, and structural evolution of the film formation on zinc were discussed using various methods.

Effect of Ge doping on the magnetic properties of Fe-6.5Si soft magnetic composites

Xubin Li, Jianjun Huang, Yaqiang Dong, Xincai Liu, Ronglin Zhao, Shouding Wu, Hang Wu, Wei Gao, Aina He, Jiawei Li

Summary: This work systematically investigates the effect of Ge content on the soft magnetic properties and microstructure of FeSiGe soft magnetic powder cores (SMPCs). The results show that the addition of Ge increases the electrical resistivity of Fe93.5-xSi6.5Gex SMPCs and influences the coercivity. Optimal magnetic properties are achieved with 2 wt% Ge content, including stable effective permeability of 78.4 up to 1 MHz, low core loss of 589.5 mW/cm3 at a maximum magnetic induction of 0.1 T and frequency of 50 kHz. Doping with Ge reduces micro-vortex dots and facilitates domain wall movement, leading to improved magnetic properties.

Effects of different elements on the passivation behaviour of Fe-based metallic glasses in the NaCl solution

Haoran Ma, Yanxin Liu, Shuang Zheng, Xiahe Liu, Jiawei Li

Summary: The passivation and microstructure of Fe-based metallic glasses (MGs) with different contents of essential elements in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution were investigated. It was found that the strongly Cr-enriched passive film on Fe48Cr15Mo14C15B6Y2 (Cr15Mo14) generated a higher resistance than that of Fe63Cr8Mo3.5C4B4Ni5P10Si2.5 (Cr8Mo3.5) with a Fe-rich film in the low passive potential region. However, as the potential increased, the enhanced hydration caused a film degradation of Cr15Mo14 while the stable Si-oxide enriched and maintained the high film protection of Cr8Mo3.5. Thus, the corrosion resistance of Cr8Mo3.5 became better than that of Cr15Mo14 in the high passive potential region.

Soft magnetic properties and giant magneto-impedance effect of Co68.15Fe4.35Si12.5B15-xCrx amorphous ribbons

Limeng Hu, Chunyang Mu, Haoran Ma, Aina He, Yaqiang Dong, Deren Li, Qikui Man, Jiawei Li

Summary: The effects of Cr doping and annealing temperature on the microstructure, soft magnetic properties, giant magneto-impedance (GMI) effect and corrosion resistance of Co68.15Fe4.35Si12.5B15-xCrx (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 at.%) ribbons were investigated. Appropriate Cr content (<= 3 at.%) effectively improves the thermal stability, magnetic softness, and GMI value of the ribbons, whereas more Cr deteriorates the magnetic properties owing to the precipitation of Co-Fe nanocrystals in the amorphous matrix. In addition, the corrosion resistance increases gradually with the increase of Cr content. The x = 3 ribbon annealed at 753 K exhibits low coercivity of 0.45 A/ m, high permeability of 22,000 at 1 kHz, large GMI value of 196% at 5 MHz, and great sensitivity of 118%/Oe, which is superior to other ribbons. The variation of magnetic properties was explained by the change of magnetic anisotropy and permeability owing to the Cr doping and isothermal annealing.

Correlation Mechanism of Microstructure, Magnetic Domain, and Magnetic Softness of Fe-6.5 wt.%Si Composites with High Saturation

Fangyi Wu, Zhonghao Liu, Yaqiang Dong, Ruiheng Zhang, Aina He, Yufan Ling, Jiawei Li, Xincai Liu

Summary: This paper systematically studied the effects of silicone resin content, compaction pressure, and annealing temperature on the magnetic properties, microstructure, and magnetic domains of Fe-6.5 wt.%Si SMPCs. The results showed that SMPCs with 1 wt.% SI content and pressed at 1800 MPa exhibited low total loss and high B-s. Annealing at 850 degrees C resulted in dense recrystallized grains with large-angle grain boundaries and easily mobile domain walls, leading to low hysteresis and total loss. A higher temperature of 950 degrees C slightly increased hysteresis and eddy loss.

Novel CoFeAlMn high-entropy alloys with excellentsoft magnetic properties and high thermal stability

Wei Gao, Yaqiang Dong, Xingjie Jia, Liping Yang, Xubin Li, Shouding Wu, Ronglin Zhao, Hang Wu, Qiang Li, Aina He, Jiawei Li

Summary: Co4Fe2Al1.5Mn1.5 high-entropy alloy with exceptional soft magnetic properties was investigated. It exhibited the highest saturation magnetization strength (161.3 emu g -1) reported for magnetic HEAs, low coercivity (1.9 Oe), high electrical resistivity (173 mu S2 cm), and superior thermal stability up to 600 degrees C. Microstructure of B2 nanoparticles in a DO3 matrix phase and the transition of Mn from antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism with the assistance of Al contributed to these properties. This study paves the way for the development of soft magnetic HEAs with promising applications.

Alexander Ya. Simonovskii, Alexander A. Yanovskii, Arthur R. Zakinyan

Summary: In this study, the departure frequency of vapor bubbles during boiling of ferrofluid in a horizontal magnetic field is experimentally investigated. Two methods, visual and inductive, are used to measure the frequency of bubble departure. The results show that the bubble departure frequency can decrease with increasing magnetic field strength and increase with increasing temperature of the heat-emitting surface. A linear stability analysis is conducted to analyze the influence of the magnetic field on the frequency of bubble formation during ferrofluid boiling.

Thermodynamic, entanglement and spin Hall conductivity on kagome-honeycomb lattice system

Leonardo S. Lima

Summary: This study investigates the thermodynamic quantities, such as entropy, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility, in the next-nearest-neighbors Heisenberg model on a honeycomb-kagome lattice. The linear spin-wave approach is applied to obtain the temperature-dependent behavior of these quantities. Additionally, the entanglement negativity, a quantifier of quantum entanglement, and the spin Hall conductivity are also studied. The results show that all the thermodynamic quantities, as well as the entanglement negativity and spin Hall conductivity, exhibit an increasing trend with temperature. Furthermore, it is found that all the analyzed quantities approach zero in the low-temperature limit, consistent with experimental observations.
