Study of the correlation between the magnetic and electrical properties of the LaSrMnO compound.

In this work, we investigated the relationship between the electrical and magnetic properties of the superparamagnetic (SPM) LaSrMnO (S1C0) compound prepared by the sol-gel method. The (S1C0) sample displayed a ferromagnetic metallic (FMM) behavior at low temperatures and a paramagnetic semiconductor (PMSC) behavior at high temperatures. The FMM behavior was described by the Zener Double Exchange (ZDE) polynomial law containing the contributions of the electron-electron (e-e) interactions and the electron-magnon (e-m) scattering.

NbCT MXene reinforcement stimulated microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium.

In this study, NbCTx MXene reinforced commercially pure magnesium composite was processed using traditional blend-press-sinter technique. The added one volume percentage of NbCTx MXene was fairly dispersed around the magnesium particles despite having sporadic clustering. NbCTx MXene reinforcement was stable and developed defect free strong interfacial bonding with the magnesium matrix.
