In order to experimentally probe into the complicated interaction between charge ordering and spin ordering in manganites,two sets of samples Nd0.5Sr0.5Mn1-xGaxO3(NSMGO) and Nd 0.5Sr0.5Mn1-y CryO3(NSMCO)(0.0 x,y 0.075),have been studied by means of electrical transport,magnetization,electron spin resonance and transmission electron microscopy analysis.By comparing the influence of Cr-doping and Ga-doping in the Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3(NSMO) system,large difference between the evolution of charge ordering temperature T co in the Cr-doping and the Ga-doping cases is found.In the NSMCO system,the CE-type antiferromagnetic(AFM)/charge ordering(CO) phase disappears with only 2.5 percent Cr doping;but in the NSMGO system,the CE-type AFM/CO phase always exists.This phenomenon indicates that the charge ordering formation is dominated by the spin ordering.As a result,it is experimentally proved that there is strong coupling interaction between charge ordering and spin ordering in NSMO system.
To optimize field emission (FE) property of carbon nanotube (CNT) array on a planar cathode surface, the Fowler-Nordheim formula has been used to discuss the maximum of the emission current density with the floating sphere model in this paper. The emission current density is dominating as the analytical Fowler-Nordheim function of the intertube distance, and the maximum of the emission current density is deduced and discussed. The results indicate that the intertube distance in CNT array critically affects the field enhancement factor and the emission current density, whose maximum occurs at the intertube distance approximating a tenth of the tube height. Considering the emission current density and the field enhancement factor, the FE can be optimized analytically when the intertube distance is about a tenth of the tube height.
