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.     

Correlation of fluctuation field and temperature coefficient of coercivity in a CoCrPtB thin film

The effect of the ratio of fluctuation field (H_f) to coercivity (H_c) on the temperature coefficient of coercivity [α(H_c)] was investigated for Co₅₅Cr_15.5Pt₂₈B_1.5/Co₆₃Cr₃₇/Cr, Co₆₉Cr₁₉Pt₉Ta₃/Cr, and Co₈₆Cr₁₀Ta₄/Cr thin films (longitudinal recording media) with very small average grain volume (V_phy). α(H_c) increases markedly with increase in temperature between near 250 and 350 K for Co₅₅Cr_15.5Pt₂₈B_1.5/Co₆₃Cr₃₇/Cr thin films. α(H_c) is approximately proportional to the ratio H_f/H_c for all thin films, as in the case of advanced data backup tapes prepared from ultrafine particles. α(H_c) and the ratio H_f/H_c increase as V_phy decreases. Smaller H_f/H_c values are necessary for small α(H_c) values, which is very important for the thermal stability of high-density recording media with very small V_phy.     

Analysis of price fluctuations in futures exchange markets

We show that the fluctuations of the tick-by-tick logarithmic price in a futures market can be described in terms of the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE). We calculate the corresponding drift and diffusion coefficients and argue that these values can contain some information pertaining to the market state. It is particularly showed that the Korean treasury bond (KTB) futures is well described by a FPE and has a similar structure to turbulence.     

Abdominal apparent diffusion coefficient measurements: effect of diffusion-weighted image quality and usefulness of anisotropic images

This study aimed to assess the effect of diffusion-weighted image (DWI) quality on abdominal apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements and the usefulness of anisotropic images. Twenty-six patients (10 men and 16 women; mean, 58.1 years) who underwent DW imaging and were diagnosed not to have any abdominal diseases were analyzed. Single-shot spin-echo echo-planar DW imaging was performed, and one isotropic and three orthogonal anisotropic images were created. ADCs were calculated for liver (four segments), spleen, pancreas (head, body, tail) and renal parenchyma. Image quality for each organ part was scored visually. We estimated the correlation between ADC and image quality and evaluated the feasibility of using anisotropic images. ADCs and image quality were affected by motion probing gradient directions in the liver and pancreas. A significant inverse correlation was found between ADC and image quality. The r values for isotropic images were −.46, −.48, −.70 and −.28 for the liver, spleen, pancreas and renal parenchyma, respectively. Anisotropic images had the best quality and lowest ADC in at least one organ part in 17 patients. DWIs with the best quality among isotropic and anisotropic images should be used in the liver and pancreas.

The relation between composition in laser absorption region and ambient pressure

In this paper, the compositions in a laser absorption region can be determined from the experiment of laser impulse coupling. When the ambient pressure varies from 9325 to 33325Pa, the compositions are vapour and plasma; while from 35325 to 101325Pa, they are ambient air and plasma. By analysing the relation between the degree of compression and the ambient pressure, the compositions can be determined and the variation of plasma can be explained.
