HPM Generation by Tri-Anode Coaxial Vircator

100%
EN
A novel type of coaxial vircator with 3 anodes is proposed. The advantages on high power microwave generation is tested by particle-in-cell simulation and theoretical analysis model is set up as well. The tri-anode coaxial vircator behaves a very stable frequency in the pulse duration. In the tri-anode coaxial vircator, the injecting electron beam is well premodulated in the first anode cavity and forms an inerratic bunch-dispersion mechanism in the second anode cavity; the energy-loss electrons penetrate through the third anode and absorbed by the dumping cavity locates in the centre electrode, which helps keeping the bunch-dispersion cycle undisturbed. A 3.8 GHz tri-anode coaxial vircator is theoretically designed and optimized by particle-in-cell simulation, which gives beam-wave conversion efficiency of over 20% with a stable predominant frequency, in accordance with the particle-in-cell simulation and analytic model.

A ^{55}Mn NMR study of ^{16}O and ^{18}O containing La_{0.33}Nd_{0.33}Ca_{0.34}Mn O_3 is reported. The spin-echo spectra measured at 4.2 K and zero field consist of a double exchange line corresponding to the ferromagnetic metallic regions. The line intensity is more than an order of magnitude lower for the ^{18}O compound, which indicates an order of magnitude lower content of the ferromagnetic metallic phase in this compound. The frequency dependence of the spin-spin relaxation time T_2 shows a pronounced minimum at the center of the double exchange line of both compounds due to the Suhl-Nakamura interaction, which indicates that the ferromagnetic metallic regions are at least 10~nm in size. The results are discussed in terms of the influence of oxygen isotopic substitution on phase segregation.

An NMR study of polycrystalline Pr_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}Mn_{1-x}Ga_xO_3 (x=0 and 0.03) at 3 K is presented. Zero field spin-echo spectra of the Ga doped compound consist of an overlapping ^{69,71}Ga signal at 74~MHz (hyperfine field of 5.3 T), a ^{55}Mn double exchange line at 375 MHz (35.5 T) and a weak Mn^{3+} signal between 400 and 550 MHz. Measurements in an applied field show a step-like increase in the double exchange line intensity, which corresponds to an increase in the amount of the ferromagnetic metallic phase. This coincides with a step-like feature in the bulk magnetization measurements. The effect is similar to that in the previous field dependent ^{55}Mn NMR measurements of Pr_{0.67}Ca _{0.33}MnO_3. At the demagnetized and remanent state, a variation of spin- spin relaxation time, T_2, across the ^{55}Mn line, due to the Suhl-Nakamura interaction is observed, which suggests that the ferromagnetic metallic double exchange regions, at liquid helium temperatures, are at least 4 nm in size.

Tunneling conductance spectra of point-contact junctions formed by a sharp Ag tip and two optimally doped manganites La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO_3 and Nd_{0.67} Sr_{0.33}MnO_3 are measured and analyzed. It was found that the analytical dependence of the differential conductance on voltage strongly depends on the bias sign and dramatically changes after voltage treatments. The data obtained are explained in terms of the Glasman-Matveev model for tunneling across two localized states settled in the barrier near the manganite bulk. Effective functions of electron-boson interaction extracted from self-energy contributions to the experimental characteristics contain signs of phonon and magnon excitations, higher-energy satellites as a result of possible orbital ordering and a hallmark of localized states in the near-barrier region in the form of strong not-well reproduced peaks.

The elastic behavior of the sol-gel prepared double-layered manganite system La_{1.2}Sr_{1.8-x}Ba_xMn_2O_7 (x = 0.0-0.4) was investigated at 300 K, employing ultrasonic pulse transmission technique at 1 MHz. The values of elastic moduli and acoustic Debye temperature (θ_D) were computed from longitudinal and shear velocities. The measured values were corrected to zero porosity using Hasselman and Fulrath's formula. The elastic constants of the samples, estimated using Modi's heterogeneous metal-mixture rule, were also reported. The variation of elastic moduli with Ba concentration was interpreted in terms of strength of interatomic bonding.

The resistance, magnetoresistance, and resistance response under microwave irradiation (f=10 and 35 GHz) were measured for epitaxial and polycrystalline La_{0.67}Ca_{0.33}MnO_3 and La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO_3 thin films in the temperature range 78÷300 K. The microwave induced resistance increase observed for the epitaxial films in a narrow temperature range below the ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition temperature T_c certifies coexistence of low resistance (ferromagnetic) and high resistance (paramagnetic) regions in the manganites. Resistance of polycrystalline films decreased under microwave irradiation in a wide temperature range below T_c. The effect was explained in terms of microwave assisted hopping of carriers in high resistance regions formed at grain boundaries of the polycrystalline films.

X-ray imaging technology is a useful and leading medical diagnostic tool for health care professionals to diagnose disease in human body. Carbon nanotube based X-ray source, which we have developed in this study, could be also useful and supply integrated diagnostic X-ray imaging tool in diagnosis. Conventionally, thermionic type of tungsten filament X-ray tube is widely employed in the field of biomedical and industrial application fields. However, intrinsic problems, such as poor emission efficiency, low imaging resolution, and high electrical energy consumption etc., may cause the limitation of using the X-ray tube. To fulfill the current market requirement, specifically for medical diagnostic field, we have developed rather a portable and compact carbon nanotube based X-ray device in which microfocus high imaging resolution can be feasible.

We report thin films of ferromagnetic Fe_3O_4 (magnetite) grown by a reactive magnetron sputtering at T=300÷450°C on lattice-matched MgO, and bilayer structures composed of Fe_3O_4 and underlying epitaxial films of highly conductive electron-doped In_2O_3〈Sn〉, LaNiO_3, and antiferromagnetic CoO. The prepared Fe3O4/MgO films and the bilayer structures demonstrated clearly defined resistance anomaly at Verwey transition point (T_V≈100-120 K). Formation of high resistance interlayer was indicated between the adjacent conducting Fe3O4 and LaNiO3 layers. However, relatively low interface resistivity of about 0.1 Ω cm^2 (at T=300 K) was estimated for the patterned Fe3O4/In2O3〈Sn〉 bilayer structures. Vertical electrical transport measurements revealed strong nonlinearity in the I-U dependences of the Fe3O4/In2O3 〈Sn〉 interface at T

Fast Electrical Switching of Thin Manganite Films

51%
EN
The effects of strong pulsed electric field on the electrical properties of thin epitaxial La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_3 films were investigated. The fast electrical switching from high resistance off-state to low resistance on-state was obtained at current densities higher than 10^6 A/cm^2. This current was able to induce an irreversible damage of the sample in the regions at the edges of the electrodes of the film. It was demonstrated that thermal effects are responsible for appearance of delay time and asymmetrical shape of current channel in on-state, however, the fast switching from off- to on-state is a result of electronic effects appearing when critical power is reached in the film.

Resistivity, Hall and Seebeck effects have been studied on single crystals of Ca_{1-x}Eu_{x}B_{6} (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) at temperatures 2-300 K and in magnetic fields up to 8 T. An insulating ground state is found to be limited by narrow range of Eu doping 0.6 ≤ x ≤ 0.8. This region is characterized by an enhanced colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), which reaches values of ρ(0)/ρ(7T) > 10^{6} for x = 0.63 at T < 10 K. Decreasing of Eu content in Ca_{1-x}Eu_{x}B_{6} below x* ≈ 0.6 restores the metallic ground state with moderate resistivity (ρ ~ 1 ÷ 5 mΩ·cm) and CMR amplitude (ρ(0)/ρ(7T) < 7). The second metal-insulator transition (MIT) in Ca_{1-x}Eu_{x}B_{6} is observed beyond the whole conductivity region found earlier in the narrow range of Eu doping (0.7 ≤ x ≤ 0.8). The correlation between the enhanced CMR amplitude, the onset of positive diffusive thermopower and the elevation of anomalous Hall effect, determined for Eu content 0.6 ≤ x ≤ 0.85, favors the idea that a smooth change of band structure is the main factor governing the reentrant MIT in Ca_{1-x}Eu_{x}B_{6}.

Here are presented the results of an electrodynamical analysis of the SiC waveguides with two different radii R=1.5 mm and R=2.5 mm. We have investigated the dispersion characteristics of these waveguides as well as the electric field distributions in the waveguide cross-sections at f=50 and 25 GHz.

The results on the study of grain boundary effects and influence of film deposition conditions on the magnetoresistance and its anisotropy in polycrystalline La_{0.83}Sr_{0.17}MnO_3 films are presented. The magnetoresistance was measured in high pulsed magnetic fields up to 25 T (pulse duration ≈ 0.6 ms) in the temperature range of 120-300 K. A modified Mott hopping model was applied to describe the main behavior of high-field magnetoresistance for both ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of the polycrystalline films by taking into account the demagnetization field of the films measured in low magnetic fields perpendicular to film plane. It was also found that to obtain the higher magnetoresistance saturation field at room temperature it is necessary to use the films with smaller crystallites (D ≈ 100 nm). Such films could be used for design of megagauss pulsed magnetic field sensors.

Influence of pressure on the phase transition temperature T_C and on the spontaneous magnetisation M_{0} of highly Sr substituted and oxygen nonstoichiometric La_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-δ} samples was investigated. An increase in T_C and M_0 with pressure in investigated samples was found, indicating strengthening of ferromagnetic double exchange interactions, and the expansion of volume of ferromagnetic phase as a~result of enhancement in ferromagnetic interactions in both cluster-glass and long range ferromagnetic states. We did not observe clear correlation between changes in pressure coefficient dT_C/dP and changes in the formal oxidation state of the Co ion.

The magnetoresistance of thin polycrystalline La_{1-x}Sr_{x}MnO_{3} films deposited on lucalox substrate using metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique was investigated in pulsed magnetic fields up to 18 T in the temperature range 100-320 K. The influence of film preparation conditions, ambient temperature variation and Sr content is analyzed in order to determine the optimal conditions for the design of CMR-B-scalar magnetic field sensor based on thin manganite film, operating at room temperature.

The destructive laboratory device, generating half-period sinus-shaped magnetic field pulses of 0.15-2 ms duration is investigated numerically. The coil was placed into a steel reinforcement cylinder to resist magnetic forces, while influence of thickness of the reinforcement cylinder is considered in detail. The time-dependent non-linear magneto-mechanical model and the finite element software ANSYS are employed. On the basis of the mechanical analysis, reasonable explanation of the destruction nature is provided. The numerically obtained operation threshold value was in good agreement with experimental measurements.

Charge Transport and Magnetism in Eu_{1-x}Ca_{x}B_6

EN
Transport, magnetic and thermal properties of substitutional solid solution Eu_{1 - x}Ca_{x}B_6 single crystals (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.244) have been studied at 1.8 ≤ T ≤ 300 K and in magnetic fields up to 8 T. Calcium doping is shown to result in a metal-insulator transition, which occurs at x_{MIT} ≈ 0.2. In vicinity of metal-insulator transition the effect of colossal magnetoresistance is found to be very sensitive to Ca content, the amplitude varying from Δ = [ ρ (0)- ρ (8T)]/ρ(8T) ≈1.4×10^2 to Δ ≈ 7.5 × 10^3 for 0.14 ≤ x ≤ 0.16. The analysis of magnetic contribution to heat capacity shows that a large amount of magnetic entropy ( ≈ 30%) releases in Eu_{0.845}Ca_{0.155}B_6 when moving from the Curie temperature T_{C} ≈ 5.5 K to the characteristic one T* ≈ 30 K. This observation as well as the large amplitude of low field colossal magnetoresistance effect and the deviation of magnetic susceptibility from the Curie-Weiss law detected for x = 0.155 compound in the interval T_{C} ≤ T ≤ T* seem to be associated with magnetic phase separation induced by Ca doping.

In the presented work we report electrical, magnetic and thermal properties of EuB_{6-x}C_{x} single crystals with an estimated value of x ≈ 0.07. Our studies reveal an antiferromagnetic phase transition at T_{N} ≈ 6.7 K. Electrical resistivity at zero magnetic field shows a pronounced resistivity maximum at T_{M} ≈ 7 K, just above the antiferromagnetic phase transition temperature. With increasing applied magnetic field the maximum moves to lower temperature and becomes totally suppressed at the field of 9 T. Observed magnetoresistance is negative in the whole studied temperature range 2-20 K, yielding a ratio of ρ(0 T, 7 K)/ρ(9 T, 7 K) ≈ 2.5. The origin of such magnetoresistance is associated with formation of mixed magnetic structure in the system due to fluctuation of carbon concentration.

We present new experimental evidence indicating the importance of magnetic field component of microwave field (f=9.4 GHz) for magnetoresistive properties of polycrystalline La_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}MnO_3 films. The microwave measurements revealed a different character of the temperature-dependent electrical resistance of polycrystalline La_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}MnO_3 films placed in the centre (maximal amplitude of H_{10} wave vector) and at a narrow wall of the wave-guide (reduced H_{10} amplitude). Theoretical estimations of the influence of substrate onto distribution of microwave electric and magnetic fields in the waveguide were performed using the finite-difference time-domain method.
