The structure type of Ni55.5Fe18Ga26.5-xSix alloys is determined by x-ray diffraction (XRD), and the XRD patterns show the microstructure of Ni-Fe-Ga-Si alloys transformed from body-centred tetragonal martensite (with Si content x = 0) to body-centred cubic austenite (with x = 2) at room temperature. The martensitic transformation temperatures of the Ni55.sFelsGa26.5-xSi~ alloys decrease almost linearly with increasing Si content in the Si content range of x _~ 3. Thermal treatment also plays an important role on martensitic transformation temperatures in the Ni-Fe-Ga^Si alloy. The valence electronic concentrations, size factor, L21 degree of order and strength of parent phase influence the martensitic transformation temperatures of the Ni-Fe-Ga-Si alloys. An understanding of the relationship between martensitic transformation temperatures and Si content will be significant for designing an appropriate Ni-Fe-Ga-Si alloy for a specific application at a given temperature.展开更多

It is shown that at low illumination intensities L μ of electrons increases with a power law μ ~ L<sup>γ</sup>, first with the exponent γ > 1, then with γ ≈ 0.5, and their concentration n almost does not change. Starting from the intensity L > 12 - 15 lx, the electron concentration increases strongly n ~ L<sup>β</sup> from β ≈ 3.0, and the parameters n and μ reach relatively high values ~(10<sup>15</sup> - 10<sup>16</sup>) sm<sup>-3</sup> and ~(150 - 200) sm<sup>2</sup>/V·s, however further, at L > 50 lx, a weak dependence of n(L) and μ(L) with β, γ < 1.0 is found. The obtained experimental results are interpreted on the basis of a model of a semiconductor film with intergranular potential barriers when the concentration and barrier mechanisms of photoconductivity operate simultaneously.展开更多
