磁性液体磁表面张力测试及其液膜拉脱过程受力分析

使用拉脱法测量了磁性液体的磁表面张力,根据计算机实时采集电压随时间的变化数据得到U-t曲线,进而将液膜拉脱过程分为6个阶段,分别研究了每个阶段的电压变化原因.无外加磁场作用时2F号磁性液体存在一电压变化较平缓的阶段,而白油和1F磁性液体并未出现此现象,这主要是因为白油和1F磁性液体表面张力较大,2F号磁性液体的表面张力较小造成.有外加磁场作用时,磁性液体的磁表面张力增加,主要是由于外加磁场增强了磁性颗粒之间的相互作用.     

磁性液体的介电特性

在外加磁化场的作用下,磁性液体的介电特性表现出与一般物质所不同的新效应——磁电方向效应,即介电常数不但依赖于外加磁化场的大小,而且还依赖于外加磁化场与电场之间的相对方向。根据实验观察到的磁性液体中的磁性颗粒呈球形,在外加磁化场的作用下,磁性颗粒呈长链形分布的这一实验事实,我们用长链模型进行理论分析,合理地解释了磁电方向效应。理论与实验结果符合。 关键词：     

均匀磁场中磁性液体的磁表面张力系数实验研究

基于特殊性能的磁性液体增设了综合性设计性实验项目,根据项目式教学法初步实现了以学生自我训练为主的教学模式.本文设计了磁性液体磁表面张力系数智能测试仪,研究了均匀磁场中4种不同类型磁性液体的磁表面张力系数随磁感应强度的变化规律.随外加磁场磁感应强度的增强,磁性液体的磁表面张力系数增大,主要是磁场增强了磁性颗粒之间的相互作用力.磁感应强度相同时,载液质量对磁性液体的磁表面张力系数影响较大,载液质量越小,单位体积内融入的磁性颗粒数量越多,导致磁性液体的磁表面张力系数越大.表面活性剂种类对磁性液体磁表面张力系数的影响也较大,由于油酸对磁性颗粒的吸附作用比PBSI-941表面活性剂强,油酸官能团较早吸附在磁性颗粒表面,限制了磁性颗粒进一步长大,导致MFO-4磁性液体磁表面张力系数较小.

氧化镁纳米多晶的微结构和磁性

实验发现,宏观晶体是非磁性的氧化镁时,其多晶样品有弱铁磁性.本文用第一性原理电子结构方法研究了氧化镁表面、纳米颗粒和晶界的磁性.计算结果表明:绝缘的氧化镁表面可以是导电的,并且有与之相关的铁磁性;磁性表面的共同特征是在表面上有氧原子富集,包括(111)表面的纯氧原子层,(114)表面的氧原子链;其他高晶面指数表面也会有氧原子富集区域;氧化镁纳米颗粒的磁性出现在高晶面指数表面以及不同晶面交界的棱及其顶角等有氧原子富集的区域,这种由氧原子富集而形成的磁性有巡游特征.氧化镁Σ7[111]和Σ5[001]晶界的计算结果表明:在没有氧原子富集的情况下,多晶样品中晶界的磁性很弱,而在有氧原子富集的情况下,晶界磁性比较强.因此可以推断多晶样品的磁性主要出现在多晶表面、晶粒包围孔隙、微裂纹界面、晶界和其他晶体缺陷等有氧原子富集的区域.这种残余磁性可以通过热处理等结构优化过程而削弱甚至消除.     

Magnetic properties in BaFe12O19 nanoparticles prepared under a magnetic field

It was observed that the nanocrystallites of BaFe₁₂O₁₉ formed at 140°C under a 0.25 T magnetic field exhibited a higher saturation magnetization (6.1 emu/g at room temperature) than that of the sample (1.1 emu/g) obtained under zero magnetic field. Both of the two approaches yielded plain-like particles with an average particle size of 12 nm. However, the Curie temperature (T_c), a direct measuring of the strength of superexchange interaction of Fe³⁺–O²⁻–Fe³⁺, increased from 410°C for the nanoparticles prepared without an external field applied to 452°C for the particles formed under a 0.25 T magnetic field, which indicates that external magnetic fields can improve the occupancy of magnetic ions and then increase the superexchange interaction. This was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance and Mössbauer spectrum analysis. The results present in this paper suggest that in addition to oxygen defects, surface non-magnetic layer and a fraction of finer particles in the superparamagnetic range, cation vacancies should be responsible for the decreasing of saturation magnetization in magnetic nanoparticles.

Two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations of structures of a suspension comprised of magnetic and nonmagnetic particles in uniform magnetic fields

The structures of suspensions comprised of magnetic and nonmagnetic particles in magnetic fields are studied using two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations. The magnetic interaction among magnetic particles, magnetic field strength, and concentrations of both magnetic and nonmagnetic particles are considered as key influencing factors in the present work. The results show that chain-like clusters of magnetic particles are formed along the field direction. The size of the clusters increases with increasing magnetic interaction between magnetic particles, while it keeps nearly unchanged as the field strength increases. As the concentration of magnetic particles increases, both the number and size of the clusters increase. Moreover, nonmagnetic particles are found to hinder the migration of magnetic ones. As the concentration of nonmagnetic particles increases, the hindrance on migration of magnetic particles is enhanced.     

Monte Carlo simulations of magnetic particle suspensions with a simple assessment method for the particle overlap between magnetic spheroids

We have developed a simple assessment method for the overlap between spheroidal particles, which neither requires the complex manipulation of vectors and matrices that is indispensable in the ordinary methods, nor is based on a model potential. Moreover, we have developed an evaluation method for the interaction energy arising from the overlap of the steric layer coating spheroidal particles. This is based on a sphere-connected particle model, but some modifications are introduced in order to express an appropriate repulsive interaction energy at the deepest overlapping position. We have investigated the phase change in a magnetic spheroidal particle suspension for a two-dimensional system by means of Monte Carlo simulations. In the case of no external magnetic field, if the magnetic particle-particle interaction is sufficiently strong to favour cluster formation, long raft-like clusters tend to be formed in a dilute situation. With decreasing values of area fraction, a chain-like structure in a dense situation transforms into a raft-like structure within a narrow range of the particle area fraction. Similarly, the raft-like clusters are preferred in a weak applied magnetic field, but an increase in the field strength induces a phase change from a raft-like into a chain-like structure.

Highlights of the present paper:

1. A simple assessment method has been proposed for the overlap between two spheroidal particles.

2. The particle overlap assessment is free from a complex mathematical manipulation regarding vectors and matrices.

3. A modified sphere-connected model has been proposed in order to more accurately evaluate a repulsive interaction due to the overlap of the steric layers coating spheroidal particles.

4. 2D Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to elucidate the phenomenon of a phase change by magnetic spheroidal particles on a material plane surface.

5. A phase change between a raft-like and a chain-like aggregate structure is able to be controlled by the area fraction of particles and an external magnetic field.

     

Anisotropy and relaxation processes of uniaxially oriented CoFe2O4 nanoparticles dispersed in PDMS

When a uniaxial magnetic field is applied to a non-magnetic dispersive medium filled with magnetic nanoparticles, they auto-assemble into thin needles parallel to the field direction, due to the strong dipolar interaction among them. We have prepared in this way magnetically oriented nanocomposites of nanometer-size CoFe₂O₄ particles in a polydimethylsiloxane polymer matrix, with 10% w/w of magnetic particles. We present the characteristic magnetic relaxation curves measured after the application of a magnetic field forming an angle α with respect to the needle direction. We show that the magnetic viscosity (calculated from the logarithmic relaxation curves) as a function of α presents a minimum at α=0, indicating slower relaxation processes associated with this configuration of fields. The results seems to point out that the local magnetic anisotropy of the nanoparticles is oriented along the needles, resulting in the macroscopic magnetic anisotropy observed in our measurements.

磁性斯格明子的多场调控研究

斯格明子(skyrmion)的概念最早是由英国的粒子物理学家Tony Skyrme提出,它被用来描述粒子的一个状态,是一种拓扑孤立子.磁性斯格明子是一种具有拓扑行为的新型磁结构,其空间尺寸为纳米量级,空间距离从纳米到微米量级可调;其存在温度涵盖从低温、室温到高温的宽温区;其材料体系不仅包括早期发现的低温区B20型中心对称破缺的铁磁体和螺旋磁有序的弱铁磁材料,也包括近期发现的室温及以上的中心对称六角结构磁性MnNiGa金属合金和磁性薄膜/多层膜体系.利用磁性斯格明子的拓扑磁结构可以实现类似于自旋阀或者磁性隧道结中的自旋转移矩效应,即外加电流可以驱动斯格明子,其临界电流密度比传统翻转磁性多层膜体系中磁矩的电流密度(一般为10~7A/cm~2)要低5个数量级,约为10~2A/cm~2,该临界值远低于硅基半导体技术中沟道电流密度的上限,在未来的磁信息技术中具有广泛的应用前景.本综述简单介绍了磁性斯格明子的发展历程,归纳总结了磁性斯格明子的材料体系,介绍了观察磁性斯格明子的实验手段,重点介绍了多场(磁场、电流、温度场)调控作用下中心对称MnNiGa合金和Pt/Co/Ta磁性多层膜体系中磁性斯格明子的产生、消失以及外场调控演变等动态行为.     

Quasi-2D Monte Carlo simulations of the regime change in the aggregates of magnetic cubic particles on a material surface

We have investigated the aggregate structure of a suspension composed of magnetic particles with a cubic geometry by means of Monte Carlo simulations. From the viewpoint of application to the technology of surface modification, we have considered a quasi-two-dimensional suspension in thermodynamic equilibrium. As the magnetic interaction strength is increased, the effects of the thermal energy are reduced and the particles tend to aggregate together. These aggregates of cubic particles are not chain-like, but are designated as closely packed clusters. An applied magnetic field tends to enhance the formation of clusters along the field direction but does not significantly regularise the internal structure of the cluster. This is mainly due to the preference of a face-to-face contact configuration for the alignment of particles with cubic geometry. The regime of the internal structure of aggregates has a significant effect on the characteristics of the alignment of the magnetic moments with regard to the external magnetic field direction. Our simulations indicate that larger closely packed clusters are formed with increasing volumetric fraction, whereas the internal structure of the closely packed clusters is not found to be significantly influenced by the change in the volumetric fraction.     

激光驱动的冲击波自生磁场以及外加磁场的冲击波放大研究

冲击波是天体物理观测中常见的现象, 其对粒子的加速被认为是高能宇宙射线的来源. 宇宙中冲击波周围往往存在很强的磁场, 但人们对于此类强磁场的产生放大过程的理解并不充分. 本文利用二维粒子模拟程序研究了激光与磁化或者非磁化等离子体相互作用产生的冲击波现象, 给出了冲击波波前处磁场的产生放大特性. 研究发现, 作用过程中的自生磁场可以储存能量, 从而进一步加速电子; 当存在外加磁场时, 由冲击波加速的电子和离子的能量都比同条件下非磁化等离子体的能量高; 而且外加磁场藉由冲击波放大倍数则与其值有极大关系. 与天文观测中推断的磁场与背景磁场相比放大千倍这一研究结果的比较可以看出, 天体冲击波周围磁场放大主要是由局域内生磁场导致的.     

Two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations of a suspension comprised of magnetic and nonmagnetic particles in gradient magnetic fields

Distributions of particles in a suspension comprised of magnetic particles (MPs) and nonmagnetic particles (NPs) under gradient magnetic fields are vitally important for the preparation of magnetic-nonmagnetic functionally graded materials (FGMs). In the present study, the effects of magnetic field gradient, magnetic interaction between MPs and concentration of NPs on the distributions of particles in the suspension are investigated using a two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that a gradient distribution of MPs is formed under gradient magnetic fields and increases with increasing the field gradient. However, as the interaction between MPs increases, the distribution gradient decreases, accompanied by the formation of chain-like MP clusters. Moreover, NPs are found to hinder the translation of MPs along the field direction. As the NP concentration increases, the translation of MPs becomes difficult.
