Ultrafast sintering of La–Ca–Mn–O bulk ceramics by thermal plasma assisted heating

This paper reports a novel and low-cost thermal plasma assisted heating method for ultrafast sintering of rare-earth-based perovskite manganites. An indigenously designed DC thermal plasma reactor has been used to sinter La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ (LCMO) colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) material. Highly dense (96% of theoretical density) crystalline bulk LCMO ceramics were prepared within 2.5 min of sintering time. Plasma-sintered LCMO bulk ceramics showed enhanced T_C (272 K), which is close to T_IM (275 K) as compared to the conventional sintered LCMO [J.M. De Teresa, M.R. Ibarra, J. Blasco, J. Garcia, C. Marquina, P.A. Algarabel, Z. Arnold, K. Kamenev, C. Ritter, R. von Helmolt, Phys. Rev. B 54 (1996) 1187] sample. We observe that the thermal plasma heating process offers a unique advantage for quick physical densification and hence sintering within a few minutes.     

Exploring the feasibility of simultaneous electroencephalography/functional magnetic resonance imaging at 7 T

The increased blood oxygenation level-dependent contrast available at high field makes the implementation of combined EEG/fMRI experiments at 7 T highly worthwhile from the point of view of fMRI data quality, but the higher field poses greater technical challenges for achieving good quality EEG data. A study of the feasibility of recording EEG signals from human subjects at 7 T using a commercially available, MR-compatible EEG system has therefore been carried out. This involved systematic measurement of the sources of noise in EEG recordings made in the 7 T scanner and measurement of RF heating effects on a gel phantom in the presence of a 32-electrode EEG cap. Having found no significant safety concerns and identified a set-up (involving switching off the magnet's cryo-cooler pumps and mounting the EEG amplifier on a cantilever) that limited scanner-induced noise, combined EEG/fMRI experiments employing visual stimulation were then successfully carried out on two human subjects. With the use of beamformer-based analysis of the EEG data, driven responses and alpha-band, event-related desynchronisation were identified in both subjects.

Tip‐heating‐assisted Raman spectroscopy at elevated temperatures

We demonstrate tip‐heating‐assisted enhanced Raman spectroscopy to investigate the temperature dependence of the carbon nanotube G‐band with nanoscale resolution. The controllable and nanoscale heat generated at the tip apex was used to thermally perturb and characterize a small volume in a carbon nanotube sample that is precisely positioned underneath the tip. The dependence of tip enhancement with temperature was also experimentally examined, which is in good agreement with the enhancement calculated from the electromagnetic model of isolated spheroids. The technique presented may open up opportunities in the study of controlled heat‐assisted biochemical reactions and physical transformations of nanostructures. It can also be used for thermal characterization of various materials requiring site‐selective and controllable nanoscale heat source and could enable the realization of new photothermal devices.

Raman spectroscopy of laser‐induced oxidation of titanomagnetites

Titanomagnetites are important carriers of magnetic remanence in nature and can track redox conditions in magma. The titanium concentration in magnetite bears heavily on its magnetic properties, such as saturation moment and Curie temperature. On land and in the deep ocean, however, these minerals are prone to alteration which can mask the primary magnetic signals they once recorded. Thus, it is essential to characterize the cation composition and oxidation state of titanomagnetites that record the paleomagnetic field. Raman spectroscopy provides a unique tool for both purposes. Nonetheless, the heat generated by the excitation laser can itself induce oxidation. We show that the laser power threshold to produce oxidation decreases with increasing titanium content. With confocal Raman spectroscopy and magnetic force microscopy (MFM) on natural and synthetic titanomagnetites, a non‐destructive Raman imaging protocol was established. We applied this protocol to map out the composition and magnetization state within a single ex‐solved titanomagnetite grain in a deep‐sea basalt. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Microvascular blood flow with heat transfer in a wavy channel having electroosmotic effects

The present paper addresses microvascular blood flow with heat and mass transfer in complex wavy microchannel modulated by electroosmosis. Investigation is carried out with joule heating and chemical reaction effects. Further, viscous dissipation is also considered. Using Debye–Huckel, lubrication theory, and long wavelength approximations, analytical solutions of dimensionless boundary value problems are obtained. The impacts of different parameters are examined for temperature and concentration profile. Furthermore, nature of pressure rise is also investigated to analyze the pumping characteristics. Important results of flow phenomena are explored by means of graphs.     

Scaling law analysis of electrohydrodynamics and dielectrophoresis for isomotive dielectrophoresis microfluidic devices

Isomotive dielectrophoresis (isoDEP) is a unique DEP geometrical configuration where the gradient of the field-squared () is constant. IsoDEP analyzes polarizable particles based on their magnitude and direction of translation. Particle translation is a function of the polarizability of both the particles and suspending medium, the particles’ size and shape, and the frequency of the electric field. However, other electrokinetics act on the particles simultaneously, including electrothermal hydrodynamics. Hence, to maximize the DEP force relative to over electrokinetic forces, design parameters such as microchannel geometry, fabrication materials, and applied electric field must be properly tuned. In this work, scaling law analyses were developed to derive design rules, relative to particle diameter, to reduce unwanted electrothermal hydrodynamics relative to DEP-induced particle translation. For a particle suspended in 10 mS/m media, if the channel width and height are below ten particle diameters, the electrothermal-driven flow is reduced by ∼500 times compared to a channel that is 250 particles diameters in width and height. Replacing glass with silicon as the device's underlying substrate for an insulative-based isoDEP reduces the electrothermal induced flow approximately 20 times less.
