To tune the coercivity of Fe-filled carbon-nanotube (CNT) arrays, the shape anisotropy of encapsulated Fe nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) was investigated. Four Fe-filled CNT-array samples with different Fe-NP aspect ratios were prepared by catalytic pyrolysis of acetylene using ferrocene as catalyst. The coercivity of the Fe-…

Solid solutions of Bi1 − x A x (Fe1 − x/2Nb x/2)O3, where A = Ca, Ba, and Pb, are obtained and their crystal structure and magnetic properties are investigated. It is shown that for A = Ca and x ≈ 0.15, the symmetry of the unit cell changes from rhombohedral (space group R3c) to orthorhombic (Pbnm). The transformation…

Simultaneously high permeability and permittivity results in a pronounced dimensional effect in Mn-Zn ferrite cores, which makes the measured complex permeability differ for cores with different dimensions. This paper provides a succinct method to solve an inverse problem of tracing dimension-independent or intrinsic…

We obtain the energy transport velocity distribution for a three dimensional ideal cloak explicitly. Near the operation frequency, the energy transport velocity has a rather peculiar distribution. The transport velocity along the direction pointing at the center of the cloak is found to be a constant, while the transp…
