EuTi0_3是直接带隙半导体材料,在液氦温度附近呈现反铁磁性,且具有较大的磁熵变,但是当其转变为铁磁性时,可以有效提高低磁场下的磁熵变.本文通过元素替代,研究晶格常数的变化和电子掺杂对磁性和磁热效应的影响.实验采用溶胶凝胶法制备EuTiO_3和Eu_(0.9)M_(0.1)TiO_3 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba, La, Ce, Sm)系列样品.结果表明:大离子半径的碱土金属离子替代提高了铁磁性耦合,有利于提高低磁场下的磁热效应.电子掺杂可以抑制其反铁磁性耦合从而使其表现为铁磁性.当大离子半径的稀土La和Ce离子替代Eu离子时,既增大了晶格常数也实现了电子掺杂,表现出较强的铁磁性.在1 T的磁场变化下,Eu_(0.9)La_(0.1)TiO_3和Eu_(0.9)Ce_(0.1)TiO_3的最大磁熵变分别为10.8和11 J/(kg·K),均大于EuTi0_3的9.8 J/(kg·K);制冷能力分别为39.3和51.8 J/kg,相对于EuTi0_3也有所提高.

利用二次量子化方法研究了由相同面心立方结构(100)材料构成的铁磁性双层薄膜,重点讨论了磁场及体各向异性对面心立方双层铁磁薄膜能带的影响.结果表明,无论界面为铁磁性界面交换作用或反铁磁性界面交换作用,磁场及各向异性场对对称薄膜中的自旋波存在方式及整个能带形状没有影响,只是影响整个激发模的能量.磁场和各向异性常数越大,自旋波能量越高.     

中心对称的阻挫磁体中斯格明子直径的调节

在带有垂直各向异性的二维三角晶格磁体中,当同时存在最近邻铁磁性和第三近邻反铁磁性交换作用时,垂直于膜面施加外磁场会使体系内自旋沿着非共面的方向排列,甚至出现拓扑稳定的斯格明子自旋结构.基于蒙特卡罗模拟方法,本文研究了在该二维阻挫磁体中,竞争性交换作用和外磁场对斯格明子直径的影响.与常规非中心对称的手性磁体中的斯格明子性质类似,外磁场会磁化斯格明子外围自旋而减小斯格明子直径.但是,磁体中反铁磁性交换作用的增强会整体压缩斯格明子.本文结合自旋波理论和蒙特卡罗模拟,首次量化了此类阻挫磁体中斯格明子的直径.结果表明:在弱的反铁磁性交换作用磁体中,斯格明子直径随磁场增大而快速线性减小;随着反铁磁性交换作用的增大,斯格明子直径随外磁场增大的减小变得相对平缓,但在强磁场下也会造成斯格明子直径的加速减小;随着反铁磁性交换作用的增强,斯格明子在不同外磁场下的直径的最大值和中值均从逐渐减小到渐趋稳定,而直径的最小值则从快速减小到表现出很大的涨落.这些现象都可以通过分析斯格明子在不同交换作用和外磁场下的构型和磁能变化加以解释.该项工作阐明了在中心对称的阻挫磁体中斯格明子直径的可调节性,不仅完善了我们对斯格明子本身物理机理的认识,同时也为发展基于斯格明子的新一代存储和逻辑器件提供了理论支撑.     

Ge纳米结构的形貌与铁磁性研究

利用等离子体增强化学气相沉积技术制备了厚度不同的Ge薄膜, 随着样品厚度的减小, 样品表现出了室温铁磁性. 厚度为12 nm样品经过300 ℃退火后, 由于颗粒细化, 颗粒之间的界面增加, 界面缺陷增加, 样品表现出最大的铁磁性 (50 emu/cm³). 场冷却和零场冷却曲线测试表明居里温度约为350 K. 进行600 ℃退火后, 颗粒团聚, 样品的铁磁性最小. 当样品厚度进一步减小为6 nm时, 沉积态样品表现出铁磁性和顺磁性共存. 对6 nm厚的样品进行300 ℃退火后, 样品只具有铁磁性. 进行600 ℃退火后, 样品却只具有顺磁性. 12 nm 和6 nm 厚的Ge纳米结构薄膜随退火温度变化表现出不同的磁性规律, 我们认为是由于样品的颗粒大小和颗粒分布不同造成的. 样品越薄, Si基底与Ge薄膜之间的界面缺陷越明显, 界面缺陷以及Ge颗粒之间的界面缺陷为样品提供了未配对电子, 未配对电子的铁磁性耦合强度与样品颗粒的分布以及颗粒之间的结合有一定的关系. 颗粒之间分散或颗粒之间的融合程度大都将会降低样品的铁磁性.

磁矩进动阻尼引起相位滞后的实验测量和理论分析

由于磁矩进动时阻尼作用的存在，脉冲磁场在金属材料中所产生的磁通量一般滞后于场，从而使穿过金属材料的脉冲磁场相位滞后.对于非铁磁性金属材料，这种相位滞后非常微弱，而且由于趋肤效应和涡流的影响，阻尼作用导致的相位滞后难以观测.给出了一种在有金属镀膜的陶瓷真空盒中测量这种相位滞后的实验方法及结果.这种方法采用超薄、有绝缘条纹的隔离分区镀膜技术，在测量中适当选择测量点的位置，因而将趋肤效应和涡流的影响降低到最小.同时对实验测量结果进行了理论分析. 关键词： 相位滞后 磁矩进动阻尼 趋肤效应 涡流

磁学发展简述

一、磁性的意义和分类 所渭磁性,从广义上讲,是指物体在不均匀磁场中受力的性质。由受力的强弱又分为强磁性和弱磁性。一般常把强磁性称为磁性(狭义)或铁磁性,而不恰当地把弱磁性称为“无磁性”或“非磁性”。弱磁性又分为抗磁性和顺磁性。在不均匀磁场中物体沿磁场减弱方向受力的性质称为抗磁性,这是一切物体都具有的性质,但有时为其它更强的磁性所掩盖;如水、铜和绝大多数有机分子和生物大分子都是抗磁性物质。在不均匀磁场中,物质沿磁场增强方向受力的性质称为顺磁性,如铝、氧化和未氧化的血红蛋白都是顺磁性物质。在不均匀性磁场中,物体沿磁场增强方向受力且比顺磁性强几万甚至几百万倍以上的性质称为强磁性,一般常称为铁磁性。强磁性是由于物体中磁性原子的磁矩,在一定条件下受一种强的相互作用而排列有序时产生的。根据磁有序类型的不同,又分为铁磁性(原子磁矩平行排列)、亚铁磁性(两类或更多种大小不同的磁矩反平行排列)和其它更为复杂的磁有序性:但如果磁有序的原子磁矩互相抵消,则不显强磁性,称为反铁磁性。常见的铁磁性物质有铁、钴、镍及其一些合金和化合物;常见的亚铁磁性物质有磁铁矿和多种铁氧体材料;FeO、CoO、NiO则是反铁磁物质。研究广义     

Application of high gradient magnetic separation principles to magnetic drug targeting

A hypothetical magnetic drug targeting system, utilizing high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) principles, was studied theoretically using FEMLAB simulations. This new approach uses a ferromagnetic wire placed at a bifurcation point inside a blood vessel and an externally applied magnetic field, to magnetically guide magnetic drug carrier particles (MDCP) through the circulatory system and then to magnetically retain them at a target site. Wire collection (CE) and diversion (DE) efficiencies were defined and used to evaluate the system performance. CE and DE both increase as the strength of the applied magnetic field (0.3–2.0 T), the amount of ferromagnetic material (iron) in the MDCP (20–100%) and the size of the MDCP (1–10 μm radius) increase, and as the average inlet velocity (0.1–0.8 m s⁻¹), the size of the wire (50–250 μm radius) and the ratio (4–10) of the parent vessel radius (0.25–1.25 mm radius) to wire radius decrease. The effect of the applied magnetic field direction (0° and 90°) on CE and DE was minimal. Under these plausible conditions, CEs as high as 70% were obtained, with DEs reaching only 30%; however, when the MDCPs were allowed to agglomerate (4–10 μm radius), CEs and DEs of 100% were indeed achieved. These results reveal that this new magnetic drug targeting approach for magnetically collecting MDCPs at a target site, even in arteries with very high velocities, is feasible and very promising; this new approach for magnetically guiding MDCPs through the circulatory system is also feasible but more limited. Overall, this study shows that magnetic drug targeting, based on HGMS principles, has considerable promise as an effective drug targeting tool with many potential applications.     

Ferromagnetic seeding for the magnetic targeting of drugs and radiation in capillary beds

A new implant assisted-magnetic drug targeting approach is introduced and theoretically analyzed to demonstrate its feasibility. This approach uses ferromagnetic particles as seeds for collecting magnetic drug carrier particles at the desired site in the body, such as in a capillary bed near a tumor. Based on the capture cross section (λ_c) approach, a parametric study was carried out using a 2-D mathematical model to reveal the effects of the magnetic field strength (μ₀H₀=0.01–1.0 T), magnetic drug carrier particle radius (R_p=20–500 nm), magnetic drug carrier particle ferromagnetic material content (x_fm,p=20–80 wt%), average blood velocity (u_B=0.05–1.0 cm/s), seed radius (R_s=100–2000 nm), number of seeds (N_s=1–8), seed separation (h=0–8R_s), and magnetic drug carrier particle and seed ferromagnetic material saturation magnetizations (iron, SS 409, magnetite, and SS 304) on the performance of the system. Increasing the magnetic field strength, magnetic drug carrier particle size, seed size, magnetic drug carrier particle ferromagnetic material content, or magnetic drug carrier particle or seed saturation magnetization, all positively and significantly affected λ_c, while increasing the average blood velocity adversely affected it. Increasing the number of seeds or decreasing the seed separation, with both causing less significant increases in λ_c, verified that cooperative magnetic effects exist between the seeds that enhance the performance. Overall, these theoretical results were encouraging as they showed the viability of this minimally invasive, implant assisted-magnetic drug targeting approach for targeting drugs or radiation in capillary beds.     

Magnetization reversal of ferromagnetic nanoparticles under inhomogeneous magnetic field

We investigated remagnetization processes in ferromagnetic nanoparticles under inhomogeneous magnetic field induced by the tip of magnetic force microscope (MFM) in both theoretical and empirical ways. Systematic MFM observations were carried out on arrays of submicron-sized elliptical ferromagnetic particles of Co and FeCr with different sizes and periods. It clearly reveals the distribution of remanent magnetization and processes of local remagnetization of individual ferromagnetic particles. Modeling of remagnetization processes in ferromagnetic nanoparticles under magnetic field induced by MFM probe was performed on the base of Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation for magnetization. MFM-induced inhomogeneous magnetic field is very effective to control the magnetic state of individual ferromagnetic nanoparticles as well as to create different distribution of magnetic field in array of ferromagnetic nanoparticles.     

Determining the magnetic ground state of TbNi5 single crystal using polarized neutron scattering technique

The TbNi₅ compound shows an interesting magnetic phase transition with an incommensurate structure below 23 K, whose true nature remains unresolved. In order to solve this question, we have carried out polarized neutron diffraction experiments by measuring temperature and field dependence of the intensities of satellites and Bragg reflections. From the temperature dependence of both satellite peaks and Bragg reflection, we demonstrated that it has only one magnetic structure at a given temperature. Furthermore, unlike previous reports, we found that both ferromagnetic and modulated components of the Tb ion magnetic moments should be collinear to each other. Our data also show strong depolarisation effects that are most likely to arise from domain structure of ferromagnetic component. A critical field, which destroyers a modulated magnetic structure is found to be lower than a field value to saturate the ferromagnetic component, in which the intensity of Bragg ferromagnetic reflections reaches saturation.     

Exchange couplings in magnetic films

Recent advances in the study of exchange couplings in magnetic films are introduced.To provide a comprehensive understanding of exchange coupling,we have designed different bilayers,trilayers and multilayers,such as anisotropic hard/soft-magnetic multilayer films,ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic trilayers,[Pt/Co]/NiFe/NiO heterostructures,Co/NiO and Co/NiO/Fe trilayers on an anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) template.The exchange-coupling interaction between soft-and hard-magnetic phases,interlayer and interfacial exchange couplings and magnetic and magnetotransport properties in these magnetic films have been investigated in detail by adjusting the magnetic anisotropy of ferromagnetic layers and by changing the thickness of the spacer layer,ferromagnetic layer,and antiferromagnetic layer.Some particular physical phenomena have been observed and explained.     

Analysis of magnetic drug carrier particle capture by a magnetizable intravascular stent—2: Parametric study with multi-wire two-dimensional model

A 2-D mathematical model was developed and used to examine the capture of magnetic drug carrier particles (MDCPs) by a magnetizable intravascular stent (MIS). The roles of both non-stent system parameters, i.e., the blood flow rate, magnetic field strength and direction and MDCP properties, and stent design parameters, i.e., the MIS radius, its wire radius, number of MIS loops, interwire loop spacing and MIS ferromagnetic material were evaluated over a wide range of plausible conditions. The results showed that the MIS could be a very effective magnetic drug targeting tool with many possible applications.     

Stray field magnetic resonance tomography using ferromagnetic spheres

The methodology for obtaining two- and three-dimensional magnetic resonance images by using azimuthally symmetric dipolar magnetic fields from ferromagnetic spheres is described. We utilize the symmetric property of a geometric sphere in the presence of a large externally applied magnetic field to demonstrate that a complete two- or three-dimensional structured rendering of a sample can be obtained without the motion of the sample relative to the sphere. Sequential positioning of the integrated sample-sphere system in an external magnetic field at various angular orientations provides all the required imaging slices for successful computerized tomographic image reconstruction. The elimination of the requirement to scan the sample relative to the ferromagnetic tip in this imaging protocol is a potentially valuable simplification compared to previous scanning probe magnetic resonance imaging proposals.     

Theoretical analysis of a transdermal ferromagnetic implant for retention of magnetic drug carrier particles

The use of a ferromagnetic wire implant placed near an artery to assist the collection of magnetic drug carrier particles (MDCPs) using an external magnet is theoretically studied. Three magnetic drug targeting (MDT) systems are evaluated in terms of their MDCP collection efficiency (CE): a permanent magnet and wire is better than a permanent magnet alone, which is better than a homogeneous magnetic field and wire.     

Towards dynamic control of magnetic fields to focus magnetic carriers to targets deep inside the body

Magnetic drug delivery has the potential to target therapy to specific regions in the body, improving efficacy and reducing side effects for treatment of cancer, stroke, infection, and other diseases. Using stationary external magnets, which attract the magnetic drug carriers, this treatment is limited to shallow targets (<5 cm below skin depth using the strongest possible, still safe, practical magnetic fields). We consider dynamic magnetic actuation and present initial results that show it is possible to vary magnets one against the other to focus carriers between them on average. The many remaining tasks for deep targeting in-vivo are then briefly noted.     

In vitro study of ferromagnetic stents for implant assisted-magnetic drug targeting

Implant-assisted-magnetic drug targeting (IA-MDT) was studied in vitro using a coiled ferromagnetic wire stent made from stainless steel 430 or 304, and magnetic drug carrier particle (MDCP) surrogates composed of poly(styrene/divinylbenzene) embedded with 20 wt% magnetite. The fluid velocity, particle concentration, magnetic field strength, and stent material all proved to be important for capturing the MDCP surrogates. Overall, this in vitro study further confirmed the important role of the ferromagnetic implant for attracting and retaining MDCPs at the target zone.
