Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract—

We have synthesized a GaSb–Fe3Ga4 semiconducting eutectic composite. It has been characterized by X-ray diffraction at different temperatures, and we have determined the elemental composition of its matrix, metallic inclusions, and the interfacial zone. Its specific magnetization and magnetic susceptibility have been measured by a ponderomotive method in the temperature range ~80–750 K and a vibrating sample method at 4.6 and 295 K in magnetic fields of up to B = ±14 T. The GaSb–Fe3Ga4 eutectic composite has been shown to have properties of a magnetic material with a Curie temperature TC = 355 K. At liquid-nitrogen temperature, the specific magnetization of the eutectic composite is σ ≈ 1.5 A m2/kg and its average magnetic moment is µ ≈ 0.17µВ. The magnetic characteristics of the composite have been shown to be stable to thermal loads up to 750 K and insensitive to the external magnetic field up to 14 T.
