Latest Patents
Ping Chai holds a patent for a method titled "Method for tuning the ferromagnetic ordering temperature of aluminum iron boride." This patent describes a series of solid solutions AlFeMnxB that have been synthesized through arc-melting and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The compounds adopt the parent AlFeB-type structure, featuring infinite zigzag chains of B atoms connected by Fe atoms into [FeB] slabs that alternate with layers of Al atoms along the b axis. The parent AlFeB is a ferromagnet with a temperature of T=282 K. A systematic investigation of solid solutions AlFeMn.B showed a non-linear change in structural and magnetic behavior. The ferromagnetic ordering temperature gradually decreases as the Mn content (x) increases. The substitution of Mn for Fe provides a convenient method for adjusting the ferromagnetic ordering temperature of AlFeB.
