Item type: Item , COEXISTENCE OF SUPERPARAMAGNETIC AND FERROMAGNETIC COMPONENTS IN (CuGa) 1-x Fe x Se 2-x SOLID SOLUTIONS WITH x=0.1, 1/3 and 1/2 ( COEXISTENCIA DE COMPONENTES FERROMAGNÉTICA Y SUPERPARAMAGNÉTICA EN SOLUCIONES SÓLIDAS (CUGA) 1-X FE X SE 2-X CON X=0.1, 1/3 Y 1/2 )(2018) P. Grima; Luis Nieves; Miguel Angel Alfaro Soto; Miguel Quintero; Humberto Cabrera; Inti Zumeta‐Dubé; Alejandro Rodríguez; Jennifer A. Aitken; P. RaicsThe magnetic behavior of (CuGa) 1-x Fe x Se 2-x solid solutions with compositions x=0.1, 1/3 and 1/2 has been investigated using SQUID techniques. DC magnetic susceptibility was measured in the temperature range 2 < T < 300K using Zero Field Cooling (ZFC) – Field Cooling (FC) protocol. It has been observed that the experimental curves can be analyzed as the sum of two magnetic components, one superparamagnetic and the other one ferromagnetic. The ferromagnetic component persist up to temperatures higher than room temperature making this report the first observation of room temperature ferromagnetism in A I B III C VI 2 compounds doped (or alloyed)with transition metals. El comportamiento magnetico de las soluciones solidas (CuGa) 1-x Fe x Se 2-x con composiciones x=0.1, 1/3 y 1/2 fue investigado por medio de la tecnica de SQUID. Las susceptibilidades DC fueron medidas en el rango de temperatura 2 < T < 300K usando el protocolo Enfriamiento a Campo Zero (ECZ) – Enfriamiento con Campo (EC). Se observo que las curvas experimentales podian ser analizadas como la suma de dos componentes magneticas, una superparamagnetica y otra ferromagnetica. La componente ferromagnetica persiste a temperaturas por arriba de la temperatura ambiente siendo este reporte la primera observacion de ferromagnetismo a temperatura ambiente en compuestos A I B III C VI 2 dopados (o aleados) con metales de transicion.Item type: Item , DIAGRAMA DE FASES DE LAS ALEACIONES (CuGaSe 2 ) 1-x (FeSe) x (0≤x≤0.5) ( PHASE DIAGRAM OF (CuGaSe 2 ) 1-x (FeSe) x (0≤x≤0.5) ALLOYS )(2012) Miguel Humberto Soto Dávila; P. Grima; Miguel Quintero; Menjamín Salas; Marcos Muñoz; Sonia Durán; Luis Nieves; Ekadink Moreno; Miguel Ángel Sánchez Ramos; J.M. BriceñoSe prepararon muestras policristalinas del sistema de aleaciones (CuGaSe 2 ) 1-x (FeSe) x en el rango de composiciones (0≤x≤0,5) por la tecnica de fusion y recocido. Los productos fueron analizados usando las tecnicas de Difraccion de Rayos X (DRX) y Analisis Termico Diferencial (ATD). Del analisis de los resultados experimentales se propone un diagrama de fases, T-x, en la region de composiciones cercana al CuGaSe 2 . Polycrystalline samples of the (CuGaSe 2 ) 1-x (FeSe) x alloy system in the composition range (0≤x≤0.5) were prepared by the melt and anneal technique. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) techniques were used to characterize the products. From the analysis of the experimental results a T-x phase diagram is proposed in the CuGaSe 2 -rich field (0≤x≤0.5).Item type: Item , ESTUDIO ESTRUCTURAL Y DIAGRAMA DE FASES DEL SISTEMA DE ALEACIONES Cu2Zn1-zMnzSnSe4(2021) Manuel Antonio Villarreal Uzcátegui; Ekadink Moreno; Miguel Quintero; Eugenio Quintero; M. Morocoima; Gerzón E. Delgado; Jines E. Contreras; M. ChourioThe structural study and phase diagram of the alloy system Cu2Zn1-zMnzSnSe4 are reported. Polycrystalline samples were synthesized using the direct fusion and annealing technique from the constituent elements. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that system crystallizes in the tetragonal stannite structure with a possible I4 2m space group. From differential thermic analysis (DTA) experiment the phase diagram was constructed for alloy system, which suggests that the region between 600 and 700 °C is biphasic coexisting stannite and wurtz-stannite phases (+). The peritectic decomposition of the system (L+ZnSe) in the region between z = 0 and z 0.80 occurs at 800 oC, for z > 0.80 the peritectic temperature decreases to 700 oC with z = 1.0. The transition of liquid L to (L+ZnSe) is given by the boundary line between 1075 oC with z = 0 and 770 oC with z 0.80. The region of the diagram below 600 oC corresponds to the appearance of the tetragonal stannite phase, as it indicated by the X-ray diffraction study at room temperature.Item type: Item , PREPARATION, CRYSTAL STRUCTURE, THERMAL ANALYSIS, SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY AND OPTICAL BAND-GAPS OF Cu 2 GeTe 4 AND Cu 2 SnTe 4 ALLOYS ( PREPARACION, ESTRUCTURA CRISTALINA, ANALISIS TERMICO, MICROSCOPIA ELECTRONICA DE BARRIDO Y BRECHA OPTICA DE ENERGIA DE LAS ALEACIONES Cu 2 GeTe 4 Y Cu 2 SnTe 4 )(2015) P.

Morocoima; A U Manuel Villarreal; Eugenio Quintero; P. Grima; R. Tovar; D. Caldera; Silvana Alvarez; P. BocarandaEn este trabajo se reportan las medidas de susceptibilidad magnetica c en funcion de la temperatura en el rango de 2-300 K de muestras policristalinas del sistema de aleaciones semiconductor magnetico Cu 2 Cd 1 − z Mn z SnSe 4 . La constante de Curie C aumenta linealmente con la concentracion z. La temperatura de Curie-Weiss q y la temperatura de Neel T N aumentan linealmente con la concentracion z, debido a un cambio de orden parcial a desorden total de los atomos de Mn 2+ en el sistema. En una primera aproximacion, se puede considerar que el sistema de aleaciones tiene un comportamiento tipico de vidrio de espin, lo que implica que los iones de Mn 2+ se encuentran de alguna manera desordenados en la red cationica del material. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility c as a function of temperature in the range 2-300 K on polycrystalline samples of Cu 2 Cd 1 − z Mn z SnSe 4 magnetic semiconductor alloy system are reported. The Curie constant C increase linearly with z. The Curie-Weiss temperature θ and Neel temperature T N increase linearly with z due to a partial order change to total disorder of the Mn +2 ions in the system. In a first approximation, it can be considered that this system has typical spin glass behavior (spin glass system), which means that ions Mn +2 are somewhat disorderly way cationic network of material.Item type: Item , SÍNTESIS, CARACTERIZACIÓN ESTRUCTURAL Y MAGNÉTICA DE LA ALEACIÓN CuAl 0.67 Cr 0.33 S 2 ( SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURAL AND MAGNETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ALLOY CuAl 0.67 Cr 0.33 S 2 )(2011) Manuel Antonio Villarreal Uzcátegui; P.

This paper reports the synthesis, structural and magnetic characterization of the alloy CuAl 0.67 Cr 0.33 S 2 . The sample was synthesized using the technique of direct fusion of the constituent elements. Chemical analysis (EDX) allowed establishing the stoichiometric ratios for this alloy. The powder diffraction pattern was indexed and the main phase crystallizes with tetragonal symmetry and unit cell parameters a = 5.3410(1) A, c = 10.4154(2) A. This material is isomorphic with the chalcopyrite structure which crystallizes in space group. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility and electronic paramagnetic resonance, depending on temperature, were performed in a SQUID magnetometer and a Bruker EMX X-band, respectively. The alloy exhibits a ferrimagnetic ordering with Neel temperature ~ 40 K. The EPR linewidth shows a paramagnetic behavior between 100 and 600 K, while the resonance field and the g factor show a slight variation with temperature.Item type: Item , Synthesis and crystal structure analysis of the magnetic ternary compound Mn2GeTe4(Universidad de Los Andes, 2015) Gerzón E.
