We have found two distinctive structural modulations altering evidently along with the martensitic transition (MT) in the Ni 2 FeGa alloy. The first one ðq 1 Þ; corresponding to the well-known phonon anomalies in the ½zz0 TA 2 branch, occurs along the k110l direction. The second one ðq 2 Þ; an incommensurate modulation observed for the first time, occurs along the k211l-direction. Both modulations change gradually with the premartensitic phonon softening and discontinuously with the MT. Anomalies in magnetic properties emerging around the MT have been briefly discussed. q
Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) have come into the limelight in the field of microwave absorption since they can be developed into porous carbon-based MOF derivatives with a variety of features, such as controlled defects, tunable structures, and variable compositions. In this paper, Cu 3 [Co(CN) 6 ] 2 Prussian blue analogue (CuCo-PBA) precursors with a regular cubic morphology were synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method and converted into CuCo nanocube/N-doped carbon nanotube (CuCo/NCNT) derivatives by annealing them in argon. It was found that when the annealing temperature was 850 °C, the minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of CuCo/NCNT could reach −54.13 dB with an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.01 GHz. The excellent microwave absorption properties were attributed to the mutual synergy of conduction loss, interfacial polarization, magnetic resonance loss, and eddy current loss. Therefore, this work provides an effective preparation method for the design of lightweight carbon-based microwave-absorbing materials with heterogeneous interfaces using Prussian blue.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
