摘要： We report changes on the magnetic behavior of the Heavy-Fermion ferromagnetic YbNi2 alloy when reducing the size of the particles to the nanometer scale by high-energy ball milling. The milling process induces a reduction on the particle size of the bulk alloy down to 10 (2) nm and a lattice strain of 1.8 (2)%, for 30 h of milling time, as calculated from the x-ray diffraction data. The ferromagnetic transition at TC =10.5 K in the bulk alloy tends to disappear whereas other magnetic transitions arise at lower temperatures with the milling process. The AC magnetic susceptibility of the 30 h milled sample shows a frequency independent peak at 3 K, in a wide range of frequencies, consistent neither with superparamagnetic nor simple freezing of the magnetic moments, and as expected for a ferromagnetic behavior. However, from the specific heat measurements in the 30 h milled sample, a peak at 3.6 K is shifted respect to that observed in the AC magnetic susceptibility, as found in spin glasses. Additionally, the specific heat on nanometric samples show reduced magnetic contributions respect to the bulk alloy with ?cmax around 0.45 J/molK. The results are explained by the influence of magnetic inhomogeneities and disorder of the alloys enhanced by the milling process in the ensemble of nanoparticles.

Enhanced heat capacity of binary nitrate eutectic salt-silica nanofluid for solar energy storage
摘要： In concentrating solar power plants, the heat capacity of thermal storage media is a key factor that affects the cost of electricity generation. This work investigated the effective specific heat capacity of binary nitrate eutectic salts seeded with silica nanoparticles, using both experimental measurements and molecular dynamics simulations. The effects of the mass concentration (0–2.0 wt%) and average size (10, 20, and 30 nm) of the nanoparticles on the specific heat capacity value of nanofluids were analyzed. The results show that specific heat capacity increases when adding 10 nm silica nanoparticles up to 1.0 wt%, and then it decreases at higher concentrations. At this optimal mass concentration, the 20 nm nanoparticles displayed a maximum enhancement in the average specific heat capacity (by ~26.7%). The simulation results provided information about the different energy components in the system. The rate of potential energy change versus nanoparticle mass concentration was found to be maximized at 1.0 wt% concentration, which agrees with the experimental measurements. The potential energy components in the simulation system indicate that the change of Coulombic energy contributes the most to the variation of specific heat capacity.

Thermophysical Properties of Silicon-Carbide-Based Ceramic Composite Materials Obtained by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS)
摘要： The factors influencing the thermal conductivity of SiC-based ceramic composite materials obtained by the spark plasma sintering technology with relative density 99% and B4C, AlN, Si3N4, Y2O3, Al2O3, and HfB2 as additives are examined. The thermophysical properties were determined in the temperature range 20 – 1300°C: specific heat, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity of composites. The thermal diffusivity and specific heat were measured by the laser-spark method. The measurements of specific heat are supplemented by measurements performed with a DSC and adiabatic calorimeter. The thermal conductivity is calculated using data on the thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and density.

Single-crystal investigation of the proposed type-II Weyl semimetal CeAlGe
摘要： We present details of materials synthesis, crystal structure, and anisotropic magnetic properties of single crystals of CeAlGe, a proposed type-II Weyl semimetal. Single-crystal x-ray diffraction con?rms that CeAlGe forms in a noncentrosymmetric I 41md space group, in line with predictions of nontrivial topology. Magnetization, speci?c heat, and electrical transport measurements were used to con?rm antiferromagnetic order below 5 K, with an estimated magnon excitation gap of (cid:2) = 9.11 K from heat capacity and hole-like carrier density of 1.4 × 1020 cm?3 from Hall effect measurements. The easy magnetic axis is along the [100] crystallographic direction, indicating that the moment lies in the tetragonal ab plane below 7 K. A spin-?op transition to less than 1 μB /Ce is observed to occur below 30 kOe at 1.8 K in the M (H ) (H(cid:2)a) data. Small magnetic ?elds of 3 and 30 kOe are suf?cient to suppress magnetic order when applied along the a and c axes, respectively, resulting in a complex T –H phase diagram for H(cid:2)a and a simpler one for H(cid:2)c.
