Title: Growth of PrCo₂ single crystals with a Boron Nitride crucible

Abstract

Single crystals of PrCo₂ have been grown from flux starting from Pr_0.44Co_0.56 that was synthesized by arc melting of stoichiometric mixtures of the elements. The Pr_0.44Co_0.56 ingot was loaded in a Boron Nitride (BN) crucible and sealed inside a quartz tube under vacuum. The quartz ampoule was heated to 1203 K, and then slowly cooled down to 923 K at a rate of 2 K/h. The obtained crystals have octahedral shapes and are of cubic C15 Laves phase structure confirmed by room temperature powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. Magnetic susceptibility data show the Curie temperature T_C = 46.7 K. The experimental value of saturation magnetization M_s = 3.2 μ_B/f.u is consistent with our theoretical calculations.

PrCo{sub 2}Al{sub 8} and Pr{sub 2}Co{sub 6}Al{sub 19}: Crystal structure and electronic properties

Journal Article Tougait, O ; Kaczorowski, D ; Noel, H - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The praseodymium cobalt aluminides, PrCo{sub 2}Al{sub 8} and Pr{sub 2}Co{sub 6}Al{sub 19}, were prepared by reaction of the elemental components in an arc-melting furnace, followed by heat treatment at 900 deg. C for several days. Their chemical composition was checked by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy, and their crystal structure was refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. PrCo{sub 2}Al{sub 8} adopts the CaCo{sub 2}Al{sub 8} type of structure, crystallizing with the orthorhombic space group Pbam, with four formula units in a cell of dimensions at room temperature: a=12.4623(3)A, b=14.3700(4)A, c=4.0117(1)A.

Effect of Ga substitution on the magnetic properties of Nd/sub 2/Fe/sub 14/B, Pr/sub 2/Fe/sub 14/B, and PrCo/sub 5/

Journal Article Pedziwiatr, A T ; Sankar, S G ; Wallace, W E - J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)

R/sub 2/Fe/sub 14-//sub x/Ga/sub x/B (R = Pr and Nd) and PrCo/sub 5-//sub x/Ga/sub x/ alloys were synthesized and examined by powder x-ray diffraction at room temperature and by magnetometry in the temperature range 4.2--1100 K. Lattice parameters, Curie temperature, spin-reorientation temperatures, anisotropy fields, and saturation magnetizations were determined. Phase analysis revealed that single-phase materials exist only for xless than or equal to1 in the case of 2:14:1 alloys and for xless than or equal to2 for 1:5 alloys. An increase in lattice parameters is observed upon Ga substitution in all cases. About 20 K increase in the Curie temperaturemore »« less

An analysis of the Pr contribution to the spin-reorientation phenomenon in PrCo sub 5

Journal Article Ma, B M ; Kawai, T ; Sankar, S G ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics; (United States)

Spin-reorientation phenomenon in the PrCo{sub 5} compound has been analyzed over the temperature range 0 to 300 K using a Hamiltonian consisting of the crystal-field term and the 4{ital f}--3{ital d} exchange interaction. We have performed a careful analysis by including the second- and the fourth-order interaction terms to the crystal-field Hamiltonian. In general, the crystal-field {ital B}{sup 0}{sub 2} term favors the planar anisotropy while {ital B}{sup 0}{sub 4} term promotes an axial anisotropy. The combination of these two terms yield the off-axial anisotropy of the Pr sublattice. The magnitudes of {ital B}{sup 0}{sub 2} and {ital B}{sup 0}{submore »« less

Synthesis and electrical conductivity of perovskite-type PrCo{sub 1-x}Mg{sub x}O{sub 3}

Journal Article Yinzhe, Ren ; Baoan, Li ; Jianying, Wang ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Oxides in the system PrCo{sub 1-x}Mg{sub x}O{sub 3} (x=0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25) were synthesized by citrate technique and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. All compounds have a cubic perovskite structure (space group Oh1-Pm3-bar m). The maximum ratio of doped Mg in the system PrCo{sub 1-x}Mg{sub x}O{sub 3} is x=0.2. Further doping leads to the segregation of Pr{sub 6}O{sub 11} in PrCo{sub 1-x}Mg{sub x}O{sub 3}. The substitution of Mg for Co improves the performance of PrCoO{sub 3} as compared to the electrical conductivity measured by a four-probe electrical conductivity analyzer in the temperature range frommore »« less

Magnetic relaxation effects in PrCo/sub 5/ and Sm(x)nd(1-x)Co/sub 5/ induced by hydrogen and deuterium. Final report, 3 Dec 1973--30 Sep 1974

Technical Report Maartense, I

Measurements of the ac susceptibility of PrCo/sub 5/ powder parallel to its c-axis show the existence of two relaxation processes which are present in samples exposed to hydrogen or deuterium but not in degassed samples. The two relaxations have time constants of 10 s at 165 and at 200/sup 0/K and are described by effective activation energies of 0.37 eV and 0.51 eV, respectively. Sm(x)Nd(1-x)Co(x) crystals treated with hydrogen show a magnetic relaxation equivalent to the higher energy process in PrCo/sub 5/; between -20 and 50/sup 0/C, a strong Barkhausen effect dominates the magnetic behavior.
