The effect of the annealing temperature on the magnetostrictive properties of Fe–Co alloy thin films on quartz glass was systematically investigated. The saturation magnetostriction was 56 ppm for the Fe32Co68-sputtered thin film quenched from 673 K, and it increased to 159 ppm with increasing annealing temperature up…

The phase formation behaviour of the magnetoelectric multiferroic 0.8BiFeO 3 –0.2PbTiO 3 was studied as a function of heat treatment at different temperatures of a sol–gel derived powder. While under ordinary synthesis conditions this composition exhibits antiferromagnetic ordering and a rhombohedral structure; the so…

Abstract A two‐step liquid oxidation approach was developed for the activation of carbon materials. Following nitric acid treatment and subsequent liquid oxidation by a mild oxidant such as H2O2, the number of surface acidic functional groups was increased without destroying the physical structures of the carbon mater…
