The effect of nonmagnetic Y partial substitution at the Dy site in Dy(1-x)Y(x)MnO(3) up to x=0.2 on magnetism, specific heat, and ferroelectricity is investigated, which resulted in a preliminary multiferroic phase diagram. It is revealed that the Y partial substitution suppresses the Dy-spin ordering point (T(Dy)) and ferroelectric ordering point (T(FE)) but enhances the Mn-spin ordering point (T(N)). The interaction between the spins of Dy and Mn is remarkably affected by Y substitution. The measured electrical polarization depends on the Y substitution in a complex way because the ferroelectricity is sensitive to the interaction between the spins of Dy and Mn.

The glass-forming ability (GFA) of Nd(70-x)Fe(20)Al(10)Y(x) and Nd(60-x)Fe30Al(10)Y(x) (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to15) alloys produced by Cu mold casting was investigated. Except Y = 5 at. pct, bulk amorphous Nd(70-x)Fe(20)Al(10)Y(x) alloys up to 2 mm in diameter were obtained. The GFA for Nd(60-x)Fe(30)Al(10)Y(x) alloys, however, was found to decrease with increase of Y due to the increasing compositional deviation from the original eutectic point of Nd(60)Fe(30)Al(10) alloy. The Nd(60)Fe(20)Al(10)Y(10) and Nd(60)Fe(30)Al(10) alloy exhibit the largest GFA and can be cast into bulk amorphous cylindrical specimens of 3 mm in diameter. The melting temperature or/and the reduced crystallization temperature is closely related to the GFA of Y-containing alloys. The bulk amorphous cylinder for the Nd(55)Fe(20)Al(10)Y(15) alloy shows a distinct glass transition temperature and a wide supercooled liquid region before crystallization. The crystallization temperature, T(g), and the supercooled liquid region, DeltaT(x), are 776 K and 58 K, respectively, The GFA and thermal stability of the Nd-Fe-Al-Y alloys were discussed.

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of Tb(1-x)Y(x)CoC(2) (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) compounds have been investigated systematically. All the compounds undergo second-order transitions from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic states without thermal and magnetic hysteresis. With increasing Y content from 0 to 0.4, the Curie temperatures decrease nearly linearly from 28 to 18 K. The nature of the second-order phase transitions can be confirmed by Arrott plots. For Tb(0.6)Y(0.4)CoC(2) compound, the maximum value of the magnetic entropy change -Delta S(M) at 20 K is 9.35 J kg(-1) K(-1) for an external field change of 5T (5.14 J kg(-1) K(-1) for 2T). The large reversible magnetic entropy change makes Tb(0.6)Y(04)CoC(2) compound an attractive candidate for the application at hydrogen liquefaction temperature. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

In applying the microwave radiation to extractive me- tallurgy,it is essential first of all to find the extent of microwave energy absorbed by various minerals experi- mentally.In this paper,more than 25 kinds of common useful minerals have been individually irradiated by a 500 W,2450 MHz microwave source in an enclosed quartz crucible to ascertain their heating temperature in a definite time.In addition,the reduction and cbloridization tests were also carried out on the titanomagnetite concentrate and pentlandite with microwave heating,respectively. These experiments indicate potential applications of util- izing microwave energy in extractive metallurgy.

The dynamic hysteresis in a planar X-Y model as a function of frequency and amplitude of external field, at a temperature far below its Curie point, is studied by means of Monte Carlo (MC) method. The evolution of hysteresis dispersion is simulated in details and the earlier proposed scaling on the hysteresis dispersion is confirmed in the present system. It is predicted that the unique characteristic time for domain reversal is inversely proportional to the field amplitude once the amplitude is not very small. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
