Ie transmission properties of stratified chiroferrite media with obliquely incident plane wave

A parameter study of electromagnetic wave propagating through the air-chiro ferrite inter face and through a chiro ferrite slab is presented, and such bianisotropic medium can be made from chiral and gyrotropic ferrite materials artifically. The partial differential equations of the fourth order defining the field components E_y and H_y in chiroferrite are derived. The influence of different constitutive parameters on the transmission coefficients and refraction angles of transmitted fields are demonstrated. The results show that chirality causes strong effect of energy conversion between mode 1 and 2.     

Analysis of Dispersion in Ferrite-superconductor Layered Structures

This paper studies electromagnetic wave propagation in hybrid structures consisting of ferrite and superconducting films. Dispersion relations for transverse electric mode of propagation are derived. Numerical results are presented for two specific structures viz. a ferrite/superconductor structure and a ferrite/superconductor/ferrite structure and dependence of propagation on various structural parameters and frequency are determined. The non-reciprocal nature of propagation is also established.     

Handedness of magnetic-dipolar modes in ferrite disks

For magnetic-dipolar modes in a ferrite, components of the magnetic flux density in a helical coordinate system are dependent on both an orientation of a gyration vector and a sign of a pitch. It gives four types of helical harmonics for magnetostatic-potential wave functions in a ferrite disk. Because of the reflection symmetry breaking, coupling between certain types of helical harmonics takes place in the reflection points. The reflection feature leads to exhibition of two types of resonances: the “right” and “left” resonances. These resonances become coupled for a ferrite disk placed in a homogeneous tangential RF magnetic field. One also observes such resonance coupling for a ferrite disk with a symmetrically oriented linear surface electrode, when this ferrite particle is placed in a homogeneous tangential RF electric field. In a cylindrical coordinate system handedness of magnetic-dipolar modes in a ferrite disk is described by spinor wave functions.     

Electromagnetic wave absorption properties of carbonyl iron-ferrite/PMMA composites fabricated by hybridization method

The surface of carbonyl iron powder or a mixture of carbonyl iron and ferrite was coated with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres by a hybridization method to make hybrid powders, and then electromagnetic wave absorption properties of the hybrid composites prepared with these hybrid powders have been investigated. As for the carbonyl iron/PMMA hybrid composite, the reflection loss less than −20 dB could be achieved in a frequency range of 1.7–5.0 GHz when the composite thickness was below 5.00 mm. In the case of the carbonyl iron-ferrite/PMMA hybrid composite, a similar reflection loss was observed in a frequency range of 4.3–13.0 GHz. Thus, the addition of ferrite was found to be useful for achieving a large absorption in a wide frequency range, especially for higher frequency values. Simulated values for the minimum reflection loss are well agreed with actually measured ones, because of homogeneous distribution of carbonyl iron and/or ferrite in these hybrid composites.     

Synthesis and hyperthermia property of hydroxyapatite-ferrite hybrid particles by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis

Biocompatible hybrid particles composed of hydroxyapatite (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂, HAp) and ferrite (γ-Fe₂O₃ and Fe₃O₄) were synthesized using a two-step procedure. First, the ferrite particles were synthesized by co-precipitation. Second, the suspension, which was composed of ferrite particles by a co-precipitation method, Ca(NO₃)₂, and H₃PO₄ aqueous solution with surfactant, was nebulized into mist ultrasonically. Then the mist was pyrolyzed at 1000 °C to synthesize HAp-ferrite hybrid particles. The molar ratio of Fe ion and HAp was (Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺)/HAp=6. The synthesized hybrid particle was round and dimpled, and the average diameter of a secondary particle was 740 nm. The cross section of the synthesized hybrid particles revealed two phases: HAp and ferrite. The ferrite was coated with HAp. The synthesized hybrid particles show a saturation magnetization of 11.8 emu/g. The net saturation magnetization of the ferrite component was calculated as 32.5 emu/g. The temperature increase in the AC-magnetic field (370 kHz, 1.77 kA/m) was 9 °C with 3.4 g (the ferrite component was 1.0 g). These results show that synthesized hybrid particles are biocompatible and might be useful for magnetic transport and hyperthermia studies.     

Localized defect modes in finite magnetic two-dimensional photonic crystals

We present a detailed study of localized defect modes in finite two-dimensional magnetic photonic crystal consisting of cylindrical ferrite material in air background by using the scattering matrix method. It is shown that due to having positive and negative value of the effective magnetic permeability in interested photonic band gap, the defect modes present different behavior. Our results show that the modes appeared in positive permeability region have features similar to the modes supported by the dielectric photonic crystal while those created in the negative permeability region are strongly localized at the interface of defect ferrite rod with air background. Moreover, results indicate that defect modes occurred in the negative region are sharper than those appeared in the positive one which means the quality factor of former case is extremely high.

Synthesis and properties of hybrid hydroxyapatite–ferrite (Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>) particles for hyperthermia applications

Hybrid ceramics consisting of hydroxyapatite Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂ and ferrite Fe₃O₄ were synthesized using a two-stage procedure. The first stage included the synthesis of Fe₃O₄ ferrite particles by co-precipitation and the synthesis of hydroxyapatite. In the second stage, the magnetic hybrid hydroxyapatite–ferrite bioceramics were synthesized by a thorough mixing of the obtained powders of carbonated hydroxyapatite and Fe₃O₄ ferrite taken in a certain proportion, pressing into tablets, and annealing in a carbon dioxide atmosphere for 30 min at a temperature of 1200°C. The properties of the components and hybrid particles were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The saturation magnetization of the hybrid ceramic composite containing 20 wt % Fe₃O₄ was found to be 12 emu/g. The hybrid hydroxyapatite (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂)–ferrite Fe₃O₄ ceramics, which are promising for the use in magnetotransport and hyperthermia treatment, were synthesized and investigated for the first time.     

Suppression of HOM's on a Prototype Superconducting Cavity by Absorbers

Higher-order modes (HOM's) excited in the Superconducting Cavity (SCC) can be damped through many ways. Microwave absorbers, HOM' s couplers, coaxial waveguides and other devices are used to achieve this aim. The recent status of the R&D on an 800MHz Prototype SCC being developed is presented in this paper. For the cavity, the HOM' s damping by absorbers is obtained with the large beam duct. A low power measurement on a prototype cavity has been carried out and the Q-values of HOM's are confirmed to be drastically reduced. Two types of ferrite as absorbers are investigated to achieve the function of damping the HOM' s. The modes we concerned focus in the range of 0.8-2.7GHz. By means of changing the parameters of the ferrite used in the cavity, a conclusion about the damping is acquired . Measurements indicate that most of the HOM' s in this range are effectively absorbed and damped at the presupposition that the basic mode is not affected. A few special modes are pointed out, which cannot be absorbed by means of absorbers because they cannot propagate out of the cavity. The two types of ferrite used in this project have similar property with the same value of B, equal to 1500Gs and the different values of e equal to 14, 16 respectively. In order to study the relation between the parameters of ferrite and the damping effect, further research will be carried out sequential- ly.     

Electron-interface-optical-phonon interaction in rectangular quantum wire and quantum dot

Under the dielectric continuum model and separation of variables, the interface optical (IO) phonon modes and electron-optical-phonon interaction in rectangular quantum wire and quantum dot embedded in a nonpolar matrix are studied. We found that there exist various types of IO phonon modes in rectangular nanostructures. The IO phonon modes in rectangular quantum wire include IO-propagating (IO-PR) and IO-IO hybrid phonon modes, while the IO phonon modes in rectangular quantum dot contain IO-IO-PR and IO-PR-PR hybrid phonon modes. The results of numerical calculation show that these hybrid phonon modes contain corner optical (CO) phonon modes and edge optical (EO) phonon modes. The potential applications of these results are also discussed.     

Scattering Properties of Cylindrical Ferrite Posts and Their Applications

The scattering field of a ferrite post and a cylindrical ferrite post containing conducting post illuminated by a plane wave is analyzed. The special interest is the scattering property of the ferrite posts, which is resonating at certain modes such as TM₁₁ mode. We hope to know the speciality it shows and find its applications. It is found that the scattering field pattern of a resonating ferrite post is similar to the rotation of the scattering field pattern of a dielectric cylindrical post, which has the same dimension as ferrite. The scattering properties of the ferrite may give us some inspirations to explore its applications in microwave components. This property is utilized to explain the mechanism of the operation of the circulators. It also may be used in microstrip patch antenna, coupler and filter to control their properties. Other applications may be possible too. Some calculation results are presented.     

On the Modified Resonance Theory of Waveguide Circulator with Various Ferrite Specimens

A modified resonance theory of waveguide circulator with ferrite specimen is presented. The kernal of this theory is a two-step analysis method of an H-plane Y-junction waveguide circulator. For the first step, the ferrite specimens of Y-junction waveguide circulators are treated as if it were dielectric resonators with no magnetic bias. This simplistic approach is used to design the ferrite specimens of the circulators. Simple formulas are developed for determining the center frequency of the circulators. For the second step, wave circulation is made possible when a pair of degenerate resonance modes experiences different changes when the ferrite specimens are being magnetized. A modified analysis of joint resonance theory and simple field theory is advanced to evaluate the performances of the circulators. Good agreements between the analytically obtained performance and experimental result of various MMW waveguide circulators are observed.     

Nonuniform Distribution of Electric Properties in Ferrite Ceramics

Electric and magnetic properties of Li–Ti ferrite ceramics depending on sintering modes and controlled by the diffusion-based specimen-to-environment oxygen exchange are considered. The relationship between the properties of ceramics and the character of nonuniform distribution of oxygen in the bulk of a specimen is determined. A physical model of the processes giving rise to nonuniform distribution of oxygen in polycrystalline ferrite ceramics is proposed. The empirical dependences of specific conductivity on sintering time at 1373 K are obtained.     

The influence of magnetoelastic coupling of exchange spin waves on the spectrum of magnetoacoustic vibrations in planar structures

The influence of coupling between exchange spin waves and acoustic waves on the spectrum of magnetoelastic vibrations in planar structures (such as a ferrite film-dielectric substrate structure) is investigated theoretically. A strong magnetoelastic coupling is observed in a narrow spectrum of magnetoacoustic modes that corresponds to the phase matching of the exchange magnetostatic and acoustic modes. An explanation is offered for the experimental results obtained earlier by the authors, according to which the linear excitation of exchange acoustic and dipole exchange acoustic modes occurs in a spectral range corresponding to the resonance magnetoelastic coupling of exchange modes irrespective of the degree of pinning of surface spins in the ferrite film. It is demonstrated that the exchange acoustic and dipole exchange acoustic modes can be excited in films with free surface spins due to a substantial transformation of the structure of normal modes of the magnetization vector and elastic displacements in the range of the phase matching of the exchange spin and acoustic modes.     

Characteristics analysis of hybrid plasmonic waveguide for low-loss lightwave guiding

It has been experimentally demonstrated that a low-loss guided hybrid mode is supported if a metal strip is embedded in a low index polymer layer surrounded by two high index slabs. In this paper, further numerical analyses on the guided hybrid modes are reported to fully elucidate the characteristics of the hybrid plasmonic waveguide. For a one-dimensional slab structure with a metal film of infinite width, simulation results exhibit that low-loss guided hybrid modes are associated with surface plasmon modes and dual dielectric slab modes. The optical properties of the guided modes are improved by increasing the field intensity which is confined into lossless dielectric layers by decreasing the metal film thickness and increasing the refractive index and thickness of the high-index slabs. The finite element method is used to investigate the lateral mode confinement of the optical guided modes by the corresponding metal strip. By reducing the metal film width, the guided modes are confined in the plane transverse to the direction of propagation and the characteristics are significantly improved. The hybrid plasmonic waveguide can be exploited for long-range propagation-based application such as optical interconnection.     

Numerical simulation of quasisurface magnetostatic waves in a ferrite film with two magnetic channels

Quasisurface magnetostatic waves propagating in a ferrite film along two magnetized channels are simulated numerically. It is shown that the interaction between the channels is manifested differently, depending on the wavelength. In the long-wavelength region the interaction between the channels has a distributed character; in the short-wavelength region the interaction between the channels appears as if it takes place at their boundary. The magnetized region of the ferrite film between the channels behaves both as a conductor of the alternating field and as a medium with eigenmodes, so that under certain conditions the waveguide can be transformed into a three-channel structure. The dispersion curves of the magnetostatic wave modes of a two-channel waveguide lie in zones bounded by the dispersion curves of the corresponding modes of a one-channel waveguide of double width. As the gap between the channels increases, the dispersion curves of the odd modes shift toward shorter wavelengths, and those of the even modes shift toward longer wavelengths. Zh. Tekh.

Detailed study of the flat bands appeared in two-dimensional magnetic photonic crystals with square symmetry

By virtue of the efficiency of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map method, the details of the band structure of a two-dimensional magnetic photonic crystal having a square array of parallel circular ferrite rods in air background influenced by an external static magnetic field applied in the rod direction has been investigated. We show that there are two sets of flat bands at the band structure of the system for TM-polarization. These flat bands are created around the magnetic surface plasmon frequency and frequency in which the magnetic permeability has singular value. For the frequency around the magnetic surface plasmon, the modes are highly localized at the interface of the cylindrical ferrite rods and air background and also by approaching the modes to the magnetic surface plasmon frequency the localization length decreases and the number of field's nodes increases considerably. Moreover, we realized that the modes with frequencies lying immediately below the singular value act similar to as resonance cavity modes created in a single metallic cylindrical waveguide.

The paper is devoted to the problem of scattering of plane electromagnetic wave by transversely magnetized ferrite cylinder. Exact analytical expressions for all partial cylindrical modes are obtained by solving Maxwell’s equations for transversely magnetized ferrite medium in cylindrical coordinate system. They are represented as the power series expansion and then are used to formulate and to solve the boundary problem. Numerical calculations of scattering patterns are also presented. Particular attention is paid to the possibility to control the scattering pattern by the external magnetic field.
