The influence of the demagnetizing factor (N) on the magnetic entropy change (ΔSM) curves is studied for materials with a second order phase transition. For this purpose, a soft magnetic amorphous ribbon is measured for different orientations of the magnetic field with respect to the plane of the sample. For temperatu…

Nd–Fe–B nanoparticles have been obtained by using surfactant-assisted ball milling and subsequent size-selection technique. Structural analyses show that nanoparticles with two particle sizes around 10 and 100nm were obtained. The partially amorphous Nd–Fe–B nanoparticles give their room-temperature coercivities aroun…

Magnetically hard Sm2(Co0.8Fe0.2)17 and SmCo5 nanoparticles have been produced by using surfactant-assisted low- and high-energy ball milling techniques. Surfactants prevent the rewelding of the crashed particles during the milling process. Heptane was used as the milling medium and oleic acid as the surfactant. High-…

Abstract The aim of this work was to develop well dispersed nanocomposites, in a non water soluble polymer using a non aqueous, low polarity solvent as a dispersion medium. The nanoreinforcements were cellulose whiskers and layered silicates (LSs) and matrix was cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB). Before nanocomposite p…

We investigate the Brownian motion of hard-sphere colloids near a solid wall by Evanescent Wave Dynamic Light Scattering (EWDLS). We carried out measurements for various volume fractions of sterically stabilized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles over a range of scattering wave vectors, q. While in the dilute…

A new experimental method taking advantage of the sensitivity of dielectric spectroscopy (DS) and being able to probe the segmental dynamics of freely standing ultrathin polymer layers over a broad frequency range without altering or eliminating their two free surfaces, was studied. The polymer films were suspended ov…

Material failure by crack propagation essentially involves a concentration of large displacement-gradients near a crack's tip, even at scales where no irreversible deformation and energy dissipation occurs. This physical situation provides the motivation for a systematic gradient expansion of general nonlinear elastic…

Using the Arrott–Noakes equation of state it is shown that the Curie point (TC) and the temperature where the magnetic entropy change is maximum (Tpeak) coincide only in the mean field approximation, but the Heisenberg model implies that Tpeak>TC even for homogeneous materials. The distance between Tpeak and TC…
