Liquid crystal nanoparticles using the low molecular weight liquid crystal E7 are prepared by a miniemulsion approach with a droplet size between 180 and 630 nm. The sizes of liquid crystal droplets prepared in this work are one of the smallest sizes ever reported for liquid crystals, and they are considerably depende…
Magnetization and in-field Mössbauer measurements were performed on copper ferrite nanoparticles with average sizes ranging from 3.5 to 10.4nm. Our results show that the nanoparticles are well-crystallized single domains with a magnetically disordered surface shell. A sharp increase in the saturation magnetization at…
Prealloyed powders of Mn54Al46 were mechanically milled, and the as-milled powders subsequently annealed at temperatures from 350to600°C to produce the ferromagnetic L10-structured τ phase. It was found that the magnetic properties are strongly dependent on both the fraction of τ phase and the grain size. Due to the n…
The stability of the cubic phase (c′) of Ce1−xZrxO2−y nanoparticles was studied by x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), time-resolved high temperature x-ray diffraction (XRD), and room temperature XRD. A clear relationship between the phase stability of the c′ phase and the Ce3+ concentration was found in…
Amphiphilic polyphosphate graft copolymers with varied densities of cholesteryl esters and hydrophilic graft chains were prepared, and the solution properties of the graft copolymers were evaluated. Polyphosphates were synthesized as backbones by ring-opening polymerization of 2-isopropyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane…
Large scale phase separation between ferromagnetic metallic and charge-ordered insulating states in La1−x−yPryCaxMnO3 (LPCMO) crystals and thin films is very sensitive to structural and magnetic changes and is responsible for the enhanced magnetoresistance in LPCMO compared to its parent compounds. By epitaxially grow…
Magnetic metallic glasses, having large magnetic moments and high Curie temperatures (TC), have not been widely studied as magnetic refrigerants. In this study, we report on the magnetocaloric effects of five FeCoCrZrB amorphous alloys [(FexCoyCrz)91Zr7B2, with Fe:Co:Cr ratios of 100:0:0, 90:15:5, 85:5:10, and 75:15:1…
The interest in barium hexaferrite thick films, particularly with high remanent magnetization, is driven by the development of small planar ferrite microwave devices. We report here processing and microwave characterization of BaFe12O19 ferrite thick films (100–400μm). The films were deposited on silicon and alumina s…
Bulk anisotropic composite Nd13.5Fe80Ga0.5B6∕α-Fe and Nd14Fe79.5Ga0.5B6∕Fe–Co magnets with (BH)max=45–50MGOe have been synthesized by blending a Nd–Fe–Ga–B powder with an α-Fe or Fe–Co powder followed by hot compaction at 600–700 °C and hot deformation (die upsetting) at 850–950 °C with a height reduction of 71%. The…
Magnetic properties and electronic structure of copper ferrites in both normal and inverse spinel structures are studied using a principle spin-polarized band structure calculation method with a modified Becke’s three-parameter exchange correlation. The calculated exchange constants show that the Néel configuration ma…
An electrochemical approach to the synthesis of Co-doped ZnO nanowire arrays on conducting substrates at 90 °C is reported. The structure and properties of as-grown and annealed nanowires were studied by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and vibra…
Efficient magnetic microactuators require a deposition and patterning of a permanent magnetic material. A material that can be deposited in the range of up to a couple of 10μm is sputtered SmCo. For the fabrication of magnetic microactuators, alternative substrate materials besides silicon are of great interest. There…
Polycrystaline Mn-doped zinc oxides (Zn1−xMnxO) were synthesized by coprecipitation method with x varying between 0.01 and 0.1. Raman spectroscopy indicates the appearance of an additional mode which is an indicator for the incorporation of Mn ions into the ZnO host matrix. The magnetic properties have been studied by…
The electronic properties of cobalt-doped ZnO were investigated through site-selective and element-sensitive x-ray-absorption spectroscopy in the vicinity of the Co L2,3 edge, the oxygen K edge, and at the Zn L3 edge. The spectroscopic measurements of the ferromagnetic cobalt-doped ZnO films appear to have additional…
The flexibility of the structure of Prussian blue analogues and its ability to incorporate a variety of competing magnetic interactions have allowed the design of mixed ferro-ferrimagnets, which span the whole spectrum of magnetic behavior, including the rare phenomenon of magnetization reversal in response to a chang…
Atomistic simulations are utilized to demonstrate a stress-induced martensitic phase transformation in intermetallic nickel aluminum (NiAl) nanowires. The martensitic phase transformation occurs by the propagation and annihilation of {101} twinning planes and transforms the initially B2 NiAl nanowires to a body-center…
A method for the preparation of magnetostrictive-piezoelectric particulate composites with enhanced magnetoelectric effect was developed. The composites were synthesized in situ forming a shell of barium titanate around nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite, varying the composition of the cobalt ferrite magnetostrictive pha…
We have studied the magnetocaloric effect in MnFe(P,Si,Ge) compounds. The structural properties of the compounds were determined by x-ray diffraction. The homogeneity and the stoichiometry of the compounds were checked by electron probe microanalysis. The Curie temperature is found to be near room temperature. Specifi…
We perform the first-principles density functional calculations of Co-based full-Heusler alloys, exploring 25 possible combinations of Co2YZ (Y=Ti, V, Cr, Mn, and Fe; Z=Al, Ga, Si, Ge, and Sn) in order to clarify the stability for the Co-related atomic disorder, because this type of disorder is considered to degrade t…
Giant magnetocaloric effect was observed in Mn1.1Fe0.9P1−xGex (x=0.2, 0.24) melt-spun ribbons. The maximum magnetic entropy change ∣ΔSM∣ of Mn1.1Fe0.9P0.76Ge0.24 reaches 35.4J∕kgK in a field change from 0 to 5 T at around 317 K. This value is superior to that reported for Mn1.1Fe0.9P0.76Ge0.24 synthesized by mechanica…
