NiZn-ferrite thin films were deposited onto silicon and glass substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The effects of the relative oxygen flow ratio on the structure and magnetic properties of the thin films were investigated. The study results reveal that the films deposited under higher relative oxygen flow ratio show a better crystallinity. Static magnetic measurement results indicated that the saturation magnetization of the films was greatly affected by the crystallinity, grain dimension, and cation distribution in the NiZn-ferrite films. The NiZn-ferrite thin films with a maximum saturation magnetization of 151 emucm-3, which is about 40% of the bulk NiZn ferrite, was obtained under relative oxygen flow ratio of 60%.
In this paper, we studied the dependence of temperature and weak localization (WL) effect on the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in strong disordered and poorly crystallized metal Co thin film deposited by high-pressure magnetron sputtering. The temperature coefficients of resistivity is positive at high temperatures and becomes negative at low temperatures, which is the typical characteristic of weak localization effect in dirty metal regime due to the strong disorder. The saturation anomalous Hall resistivity (ρAxy) have no scaling relation between ρxy and ρxx in weak localization region with temperature below 50 K. In metal region, temperature ranged from 50 K to 300 K, the relation between ρAxy and ρxxis ρAxy=A+bρ2xx, which indicates that the AHE in this Co thin film is scattering-independence at high temperature. The results also shows that the WL effect have a significant impact on the AHE of the Co thin film at low temperature.
Near-monodisperse Pd and PdCo nanoclusters were synthesized by physical vapor deposition using a plasma-gas-condensation cluster deposition system and tested for catalyzing formic acid oxidation. Under the condition of high vacuum and inert gas, NCs with clean surface and uniform size were obtained. The cyclic voltammetry tests revealed that the electrochemical surface area was increased from 49.7 m2g-1to 51.7 m2g-1and the peak current density of catalyzing FAO was raised from 0.115 mA cm-2to 0.125 mA cm-2when about 12wt. % Co element was added. Additionally, the tolerance to CO poisoning of Pd could also be improved by the addition of Co. The result indicated that this method offered a chemical-free way to prepare clean and efficient Pd-based nanoscale catalytics and encouraged deeper exploration for electrochemichal catalytic reactions.
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.
