The effect of magnetic field heat treatment on magnetostriction of Terfenol-D 2-2 composites

Based on the analysis of the magnetostriction for Terfenol-D composites, Terfenol-D 2-2 magnetostrictive composites have been prepared with laminations perpendicular to [1 1 2] axes. Then one of the samples was annealed in the vacuum at 423 K for 15 min at the magnetic field of 240 kA/m, which is along the direction of laminations and vertical to the [1 1 2] axes of the specimen. The static magnetostriction λ and dynamic magnetostrictive coefficient d₃₃ of samples were measured under the compressive stress of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 MPa. Effects of the compressive stress and the magnetic field heat treatment on the magnetostriction λ have been investigated. It is found that the magnetostriction of 2-2 composites can be improved under the compressive stress when the magnetic field is larger than 20 kA/m. The magnetostriction of 2-2 composites with the magnetic field heat treatment increases under compressive stress, and it can reach 1390×10⁻⁶ at the magnetic field of 200 kA/m and under the compressive stress of 4 MPa, much larger than the value of 860×10⁻⁶ without the magnetic field heat treatment. The highest magnetostriction of the 2-2 composite with the magnetic field heat treatment can reach 1530×10⁻⁶. The dynamic magnetostrictive coefficient d₃₃ of 2-2 composites with the magnetic field heat treatment have been improved, compared with that without magnetic field heat treatment. The maximum value of d₃₃ of the sample with magnetic field heat treatment is 71% larger than that without magnetic field heat treatment.

Synthesis and magnetic properties of platelet γ-Fe2O3 particles for medical applications using hysteresis-loss heating

Platelet γ-Fe₂O₃ particles of particle size less than 100 nm were prepared for medical applications that use the hysteresis-loss heating of ferromagnetic particles. The γ-Fe₂O₃ particles were obtained through the dehydration, reduction, and oxidation of platelet α-FeOOH particles, which were synthesized by the precipitation of ferric ions in an alkaline solution containing ethanolamine, and the crystals grown using a hydrothermal treatment. The γ-Fe₂O₃ particles contained dimples formed by the dehydration of α-FeOOH particles. The coercive force and the saturation magnetization of the γ-Fe₂O₃ particles were in the ranges 11.9 to 12.7 kA/m (150 to 160 Oe), and 70 to 72 Am²/kg (70 to 72 emu/g), respectively. The specific loss power of the γ-Fe₂O₃ particles, estimated from their temperature-raising property measured under a peak magnetic field of 50.9 kA/m (640 Oe) and at a frequency of 117 kHz, was 590 W/g. This value is higher than that of spherical cobalt-containing iron oxide particles having equivalent coercive force and saturation magnetization, reflecting the larger area of the minor hysteresis loop measured under a peak magnetic field of 50.9 kA/m (640 Oe).

Synthesis and anomalous magnetic properties of CoCr2O4 nanocrystallites with lattice distortion

Nanocrystalline Cobalt chromite (CoCr₂O₄) ceramic has been synthesized under a mild condition, rather than by a high-temperature sintering (e.g. >1673 K, in general). A shifted hysteresis loop with an exchange-bias field of 35.7 kA/m and a high coercivity of 627.9 kA/m at 4.2 K was achieved under the cooling field of 2.39×10⁶ A/m. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) results reveal that a strong lattice distortion and a large amount of surface defects exist in CoCr₂O₄ nanocrystallites (NCs). The anomalous magnetic properties, such as bias field and large coercivity, are attributed not only to the nanosize effect but also to the lattice distortion and crystal defects.     

Magnetic and transport properties of Cu2MnAl Heusler alloy prepared by rapidly quenched method

The Cu₂MnAl alloy was prepared by rapidly quenched (suction-casting and melt-spinning) methods with various thicknesses of 20, 40 and 1000 μm. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the fabricated samples show a single phase of Cu₂MnAl. All the samples reveal soft magnetic behavior with coercivity below 1.6 kA/m and Curie temperature of about 600 K. Resistance of the alloy behaves as a linear function of applied magnetic field. Magnetoresistance (MR) ratio depends on the thickness of the samples and achieves ∼0.8% at the field of 240 kA/m for the sample with thickness of 20 μm. The variation of the properties of the alloy can be interpreted by the difference of energy band structure caused by defects in the alloy.     

Magneto-electrogyration in cubic Sr(NO3)2, Ba(NO3)2, and Pb(NO3)2

The simultaneous application of electric and magnetic fields on single crystals of Sr-, Ba-and Pb-dinitrate yields an additional term to the pure electrogyration and Faraday effect. The symmetric part of the fourth-rank tensor of this magneto-electrogyration has been completely determined with the aid of a high-resolution computer-aided polarimetric device. In Pb(NO₃)₂ a maximum magneto-electrogyration of about 10% of the magnitude of electrogyration is observed when a magnetic field of 1000 kA/m (1.2 Tesla) is applied along [111]. The effects in Sr(NO₃)₂ and Ba(NO₃)₂ are much smaller. Index of refraction, electrogyration, Faraday effect, and the new magneto-electrogyration obey the same sequence: Pb(NO₃)₂ > Ba(NO₃)₂ > Sr(NO₃)₂.

Dependence of magnetic characteristics on sputtering-power and substrate-temperature in amorphous Tb40(FeCoV)60 films

The amorphous Tb₄₀(Fe₄₉Co₄₉V₂)₆₀ films were deposited at different sputtering powers and substrate temperatures. The microstructural and magnetic characteristics were investigated by means of field emission scan electron microscope, magnetic force microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer. Our results show that with increasing sputtering power, out-of-plane coercivity decreases monotonically while saturation magnetization has a maximum value of 231 kA/m for the sample prepared at 50 W. The as-deposited alloy films are amorphous, whereas the coercivity and saturation magnetization are strongly dependent on the substrate temperature. An out-of-plane hysteresis loop with coercivity below 22 mT and saturation magnetization over 290 kA/m is obtained combining dc power and substrate temperature. The dominant mechanism of room temperature coercivity appears to be domain wall pinning, rather than nucleation under all conditions measured. The variation of saturation magnetization is similar to that of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with either sputtering power or substrate temperature according to the difference of magnetic domain structure.     

Numerical simulation of magnetic fluid hyperthermia based on multiphysics coupling and recommendation on preferable treatment conditions

In this study, we established a multiphysics coupling model of magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH), using complex magnetic permeability to solve the magnetic losses of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The experiments were performed to verify the validity of numerical coupling method. The optimal treatment time (OTT) was regarded as the time required for the lowest temperature point of the tumor to attain the damage criteria. The OTT increased by about 42 s as the tumor radius increased by 1 cm, and decreased by 10 s for the increase in MNP dose per gram of tumor by 1 mg. To achieve cost-effective therapies under moderate treatment conditions, the preferable ranges of external magnetic field intensity H₀ and frequency f, MNP radius R and volume fraction $?$ are 3–11 kA/m, 200–500 kHz, 8–10 nm, and 5%–10%, respectively. It is greatly encouraged to adopt the combination of higher H₀ (8–11 kA/m) and lower f (200–300 kHz), and the conjunction of higher R and $?$. There was a slight thermal damage to normal tissues due to eddy current loss. In conclusion, MFH can provide an excellent therapeutic effect for deep tumors.

Effects of B and P content on structural and magnetic properties of cast iron based amorphous alloys

Mössbauer spectroscopy, DSC and magnetic measurements have been used to study the influence of B and P on structural; magnetic properties and thermal stability of cast iron based alloys. Results reveal that addition of B and P affects appreciably: (1) the crystallization temperature and supercooled liquid region ranging between 690–781 and 53–81 K respectively; (2) the spin texture, disorder and (3) the obtained magnetization parameters. Coercive field values range between 10.09 and 16.37 A/m, with lowest value of 10.09 A/m obtained for Ci_87.82B_12.17. Saturation induction (B _s) values vary between 1.32 and 1.85 T. Highest B _s value of 1.85 T is obtained for the Ci_95.65B_4.32 alloy which is at the edge of glass forming ability, with only 4.32 at.% of boron was added to the cast iron composition. Losses (at 50 Hz and 0.32 kA/m) for the studied samples range between 0.43 and 0.82 W/kg. Lowest losses of 0.43 W/kg was obtained for the Ci_91.3P_4.35B_4.35 alloy. Phosphorous and boron additions, helps in the bulk glass forming ability, suggesting perspective applications of these cheap cast iron based soft magnetic alloys as a substitute of the conventional materials.     

Magnetic properties and static-dynamic magnetostrictive characteristics for SmFe2/Fe exchange-coupled multilayers

Giant magnetostrictive SmFe₂/Fe exchange-coupled multilayers were fabricated by ion beam sputtering deposition on glass substrates. The effects of SmFe₂/Fe exchange coupling action and vacuum annealing on soft-magnetic property and static-dynamic magnetostrictive characteristics of SmFe₂/Fe multilayers were investigated. The results showed that the soft-magnetic, static-dynamic magnetostrictive characteristics were greatly improved by SmFe₂/Fe exchange coupling action and proper vacuum annealing treatment temperature. Compared with that of SmFe₂ single film, the coercivity in the direction of easy magnetization axis for SmFe₂/Fe exchange-coupled multilayers exhibited a greater decrease. Better soft-magnetic properties were achieved (H_c=2.54 kA/m, M_s=120.38 emu/g, and M_r/M_s=0.21) after vacuum annealing at certain temperature. The magnetostrictive coefficient for SmFe₂/Fe exchange-coupled multilayers was about 135 ppm at 16 kA/m magnetic field. At first order resonant frequency (99.2 Hz), the amplitude peak-peak value for the as-deposited SmFe₂/Fe exchange-coupled multilayers was 46 μm. After the vacuum annealing treatment at 250 °C, the amplitude peak-peak value increased to 650 μm.     

Thermomagnetically Responsive γ‐Fe2O3@Wax@SiO2 Sub‐Micrometer Capsules

A three steps synthesis route is proposed to generate thermosensitive and magnetically responsive γ‐Fe₂O₃@Wax@SiO₂ sub‐micrometer capsules with a paraffinic core and a solid and brittle shell. The process integrates Pickering‐based emulsions, inorganic and sol–gel chemistries to promote monodisperse in size wax droplets, γ‐Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles and mineralization of the wax/water interfaces. Hybrid capsules are obtained with an average size around 800 nm, representing the first example of sub‐micrometer capsules generated employing Pickering emulsions as templates. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) cationic surfactant added during mineralization at concentrations between 0.17 and 1.0 wt% impacts the shell density. The shell density seems to improve its mechanical strength while affording a low wax expansion volume without breaking for CTAB concentrations above 1.0 wt%. At lower CTAB concentration (0.17 wt%), the silica shell becomes less bulky and cannot resist the wax dilatation induced by the solid‐to‐liquid phase transition imposed by hyperthermia. The magnetically induced heating provided by the internal magnetic moments is sufficient to melt the wax core, expanding its volume, inducing thereby the surrounding silica shell rupture. Such γ‐Fe₂O₃@Stearic Acid@Wax@SiO₂ sub‐micrometer capsules allow a sustained wax release with time, whereby 20% of the wax is released after 50 min of alternating magnetic field treatment.     

Effect of thermal treatment on the magnetic properties and structure of (Nd, Pr)-(Tb, Dy, Gd)-(Fe, Co, Al, Cu, Re)-type magnets

Following the optimum heat treatment (1175 K, 7.2 ks + cooling V = 0.02 K/s+ 675 K, 3.6 ks), baked magnets have the following magnetic properties at 300 K: B _r = 9.93 T, _j H _c = 1640 kA/m, H _k = 1360 kA/m, BH _max = 168 kJ/m³, α < |0.01|% K in the temperature range of 223–373 K. Nanoheterogenic areas 8–12 nm in size are found in grains of R ₂(Fe,M)₁₄B-type magnetosolid phase by means of atomic force microscopy.     

Effect of a magnetic field on the thermal expansion of Ni<Subscript>2.08</Subscript>Mn<Subscript>0.96</Subscript>Ga<Subscript>0.96</Subscript> alloys

The effect of a magnetic field on the temperature dependence of thermal expansion of Ni_2.08Mn_0.96Ga_0.96 alloy in the range of structural-phase transformation is investigated. It is found that, when the sample is cooled in a magnetic field with an intensity of 110 kA/m, it shortens by 0.21% more strongly than upon cooling in the absence of the magnetic field. The additional shortening of the sample under the action of the magnetic field depends on the intensity of the magnetic field applied to the sample.     

Magnetic fluid thermochemotherapy of murine tumors

Four series of water-based dextran-ferrite (DF) magnetic fluids (MFs) containing Melphalan (MP) were prepared. Their saturation magnetization (M_s) was from 0.8 to 7.8 kA/m; specific power absorption rates were 240 W/g Fe. After nine courses of magnetic fluid thermochemotherapy with MP containing DF MF (M_s 7.5 kA/m, pH 6.6, ζ+15 mV) at 44–46 °C for 30 min in an AC magnetic field (0.88 MHz, 9.3 kA/m, 0.3 kW), complete P388 tumor regression was seen in 30% of BDF₁ mice. Furthermore, a life span increase of 180% was achieved.     

Coercivity enhancement of Nd−Fe−B thin film magnets by Dy buffer and capping layers

The Dy layer was inserted into the structure of SiO₂/Ti/Nd-Fe-B/Ti as the buffer or capping layer of the Nd-Fe-B layer. The insertions of Dy layers had no significant influence on the film texture with the easy axis mainly perpendicular to the film plane. The film without Dy layer gave the out-of-plane coercivity of 533 kA/m, maximum magnetic energy product (BH)_max of 245 kJ/m³. With a Dy buffer layer, the out-of-plane coercivity and (BH)_max were increased to 1074 kA/m, 291 kJ/m³ respectively. The film with Dy capping layer had a coercivity of 1035 kA/m and (BH)_max of 286 kJ/m³. Microstructure observations showed that the Nd-rich phases were evolved into grain boundaries from triple junctions by a Dy buffer layer deposition, resulting in a well magnetic decoupling of Nd₂Fe₁₄B neighboring grains. Through capping a Dy layer, the environment of grain boundaries had been improved and some Dy diffused into Nd₂Fe₁₄B phases, which contributed to the enhancement of magnetic performance.
