Abstract [en]

We report on the discovery of a boundary-induced body-centered tetragonal iron phase in thin films deposited on MgAl2⁢O4 (001) substrates. We present evidence for this phase using detailed x-ray analysis and ab initio density functional theory calculations. A lower magnetic moment and a rotation of the easy magnetization direction are observed, as compared with body-centered cubic iron. Our findings expand the range of known crystal and magnetic phases of iron, providing valuable insights for the development of heterostructure devices using ultrathin iron layers.

Abstract [en]

We describe the effect of the Fe layer thickness on the antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling in [Fe/MgO]𝑁 superlattices. An increase in coupling strength with increasing Fe layer thickness is observed, which highlights the need for including the extension of both layers when discussing the interlayer exchange coupling in superlattices.

Abstract [en]

Applying nitriding in laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing at custom build positions requires knowledge of the spatially and temporally resolved nitriding behaviour. Here we take steps toward this goal by sequential analysis of spatially resolved structural, chemical, and mechanical information throughout the melt pool, which is not available in previous studies. Single laser nitriding tracks are produced in a laser powder bed fusion system. By re-nitriding the initially nitrided track two more times, the effect of multiple sequential nitriding steps on the spatially resolved evolution of composition, structure, morphology and mechanical properties is captured. Characterisation is carried out by X-ray diffraction on the top of the laser tracks as well as laser optical microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, and nanoindentation on the melt pool cross sections. Nitrogen incorporation and TiN formation is observed at > 200 μm melt pool depth and it is evident that multiple sequential laser passes increase the TiN fraction. The nitrogen incorporation results in a gradient of the mechanical properties with enhanced hardness and elastic modulus depending on the local nitride fraction. A maximum local hardness of ∼ 20 GPa is observed and a melt pool hardness of 7.3 ± 1.7, 9.3 ± 3.5, and 10.3 ± 5.2 GPa is attained for one, two and three melts. Compared to the Ti substrate with a hardness of ∼ 2.5 GPa, substantial local modifications are obtained.

Abstract [en]

Additive manufacturing makes the production of bulk metallic glasses possible in thicknesses exceeding the critical casting thickness. However, a crucial challenge is the build-up of thermally induced stress, often resulting in printed parts suffering from cracking. In this study, the process parameters are optimised for printing soft-magnetic metallic glass samples of an Fe-based alloy (Fe73.8P10.6Mo4.2B2.3Si2.3C6.7), using laser beam powder bed fusion. In addition, the structural and magnetic properties of as-received and heat-treated powder are investigated and compared to those of the printed samples. Kerr microscopy is used for imaging the magnetic domains on single track cross-sections produced on top of a polished printed sample. This reveals the shape of the melt pool of a single laser track, as well as the magnetic domains around it and in other regions of the printed sample. The shape and size of the magnetic domains reflect the residual stress in the sample through the effect of magneto-elastic coupling. This magnetic contrast could be used to get further insights into how to control the development of stress during the printing process.

Abstract [en]

Metallic disks engineered on the 100 nm scale have an internal magnetic texture which varies from a fully magnetized state to a vortex state with zero moment. The interplay between this internal structure and the interdisk interactions is studied in magnetic metamaterials made of square arrays of the magnetic disks. The texture is modeled by a mesospin of varying length with O(2) symmetry and the interdisk interaction by a nearest-neighbor coupling between mesospins. The thermodynamic properties of the model are studied numerically and an ordering transition is found which varies from Kosterlitz-Thouless to first order via an apparent tricritical point. The effective critical exponent characterizing the finite-size magnetization evolves from the value for the 2D XY model to less than half this value at the tricritical point. The consequences for future experiments both in and out of equilibrium are discussed.

Abstract [en]

omposition analysis at the nm-scale, marking the onset of clustering in bulk metallic glasses, can aid the understanding and further optimization of additive manufacturing processes. By atom probe tomography, it is challenging to differentiate nm-scale segregations from random fluctuations. This ambiguity is due to the limited spatial resolution and detection efficiency. Cu and Zr were selected as model systems since the spatial distributions of the isotopes therein constitute ideal solid solutions, as the mixing enthalpy is, by definition, zero. Close agreement is observed between the simulated and measured spatial distributions of the isotopes. Having established the signature of a random distribution of atoms, the elemental distribution in amorphous Zr59.3Cu28.8Al10.4Nb1.5 samples fabricated by laser powder bed fusion is analyzed. By comparison with the length scales of spatial isotope distributions, the probed volume of the bulk metallic glass shows a random distribution of all constitutional elements, and no evidence for clustering is observed. However, heat-treated metallic glass samples clearly exhibit elemental segregation which increases in size with annealing time. Segregations in Zr59.3Cu28.8Al10.4Nb1.5 > 1 nm can be observed and separated from random fluctuations, while accurate determination of segregations < 1 nm in size are limited by spatial resolution and detection efficiency.

Abstract [en]

ZrN formation in a Zr-based bulk metallic glass is observed after processing using reactive laser powder bed fusion. Two processing routes employing nitrogen as a reactive process gas are explored: (1) Standard inert processing in argon followed by reactive remelting in nitrogen and (2) reactive processing in nitrogen. Incorporation of nitrogen is depth-dependent and both approaches result in a dispersion of ZrN nanocrystals in the amorphous matrix close to the surface. The process parameters can be adjusted to control the volume fraction of crystalline phases formed. Hence, it is shown that reactive additive manufacturing can be utilised to form bulk metallic glass-ceramic composites in surface near regions. Thereby we demonstrate that the reactive gas atmosphere utilised during additive manufacturing enables local tailoring of structure, composition, and mechanical properties in the vicinity of the surface.

Abstract [en]

The need to acquire multiple angle-resolved electron energy loss spectra (EELS) is one of the several critical challenges associated with electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) experiments. If the experiments are performed by scanning a nanometer to atomic-sized electron probe on a specific region of a sample, the precision of the local magnetic information extracted from such data highly depends on the accuracy of the spatial registration between multiple scans. For an EMCD experiment in a 3-beam orientation, this means that the same specimen area must be scanned four times while keeping all the experimental conditions same. This is a non-trivial task as there is a high chance of morphological and chemical modification as well as non-systematic local orientation variations of the crystal between the different scans due to beam damage, contamination and spatial drift. In this work, we employ a custom-made quadruple aperture to acquire the four EELS spectra needed for the EMCD analysis in a single electron beam scan, thus removing the above-mentioned complexities. We demonstrate a quantitative EMCD result for a beam convergence angle corresponding to sub-nm probe size and compare the EMCD results for different detector geometries.

Abstract [en]

We provide experimental and numerical evidence for thermal excitations within and among magnetic mesospins, forming artificial spin ice structures. At low temperatures, a decrease in magnetization and increase in susceptibility is observed with increasing temperature, interpreted as an onset of thermal fluctuations of the magnetic texture within the mesospins. At elevated temperatures a pronounced susceptibility peak is observed, related to thermally induced flipping of the mesospins and a collapse of the remanent state. The fluctuations, while occurring at distinct length and energyscales, are shown to be tunable by the interaction strength of the mesospins.

Abstract [en]

The present work explored the use of the selective laser melting (SLM) technique to develop a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) and investigate the influence of the process parameters on obtaining different levels of surface roughness. Moreover, the potential of the additively manufactured BMG Zr59.3Cu28.8Al10.4Nb1.5 (trade name AMLOY-ZR01) as an implant material was studied by evaluating the osteoblastic cell response to the alloy and its stability under simulated biological environments. The materials were characterized in terms of degree of crystallinity, surface roughness, and morphology, followed by a systematic investigation of the response of the MC3T3-E1 preosteoblastic cell line to the as-printed samples. The materials supported cell proliferation and differentiation of the preosteoblastic cells, with results comparable to the reference material Ti-6Al-4V. The surface microroughness and surface morphology (porous or groove-type laser tracks) investigated in this study did not have a significant effect on modulating the cell response. Ion release experiments showed a large increase in ion release under inflammatory conditions as compared to regular physiological conditions, which could be attributed to the increased local corrosion under inflammatory conditions. The findings in this work showed that the surface roughness of the additively manufactured BMG AMLOY-ZR01 can be tailored by controlling the laser power applied during the SLM process. The favorable cell response to the as-printed AMLOY-ZR01 represents of a significant advancement of the investigation of additively manufactured BMGs for orthopedic applications, while the results of the ion release study highlights the effect that inflammatory conditions could have on the degradation of the alloy.
