Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposal is for a feasibility study to prepare bulk samples of Fe16N2 and isostructural alloy nitrides and carbonitrides. The materials will be prepared at Strathclyde by novel methods to give the maximum yield and purity of phases. Magnetic properties measurements will be made by Philips Research Laboratories (Eindhoven) and Seagate Technology (Londonderry) and correlated with X-ray structural and EM microstructural characterisations, if the potential of these phases as magnetic materials is confirmed then a further development programme will be proposed.The investigators have visited by invitation Seagate Technology (Ireland), a division of the world's largest disc drive manufacturer. Seagate is itself investigating iron nitrides as magnetic memory materials and so is keenly interested in the present proposal; it has offered to make magnetic property measurements on any samples provided. Professor Jack is, and has been for several years, in active discussion with magnetic research groups in Japan (Hitachi Limited; Tohoku University), in the USA (Carnegie Mellon Research Institute; IBM Almaden Research Centre; Carpenter Technology Corporation; Hoeganaes), the Netherlands (Philips Research) and more recently in China (Tianjin University). He has accepted invitations to visit the groups in China and Japan in October 1997.
