Clusters-a New Source for Atomically Engineered Materials

1990

ABSTRACTThe electronic structure and properties of small clusters are strongly dependent on their size. These size specific properties are illustrated by confining the discussion to three different topics (1) interaction of hydrogen with clusters (2) effect of temperature and magnetic field on the magnetization of clusters and (3) reaction of clusters with gas atoms. It is shown that the electronic energy levels that are strongly dependent on cluster size give rise to the size specific electronic properties of clusters. In cluster hydrides certain elements are found to absorb more hydrogen per atom in cluster form than in a crystalline form. The magnetization of clusters increases as a func…

Magnetic properties of some rare‐earth magnesium compounds RMg2

1981

The magnetic properties of the compounds PrMg2, NdMg2, DyMg2, and ErMg2 were studied by means of neutron diffraction at various temperatures. All these compounds give rise to ferromagnetic ordering. The absolute values of the magnetic moments in the magnetically ordered state are lower than the free‐ion values. Inelastic neutron scattering at several temperatures was studied in PrMg2 and NdMg2. Analysis of the scattering data in conjunction with the results of specific‐heat and magnetization measurements shows that PrMg2 is an induced‐moment system (G3 ground state), where quadrupolar effects carry a large weight in determining the magnetic properties. The values found for the crystal‐field…

Magnetic Nanoparticles as Many-Spin Systems

2005

We have demonstrated by different analytical and numerical methods the importance of accounting for the magnetization inhomogeneities in magnetic nanoparticles, especially in the presence of surface anisotropy. The latter makes the magnetization inhomogeneous even at T = 0 and in general modifies the relation between the intrinsic and induced magnetizations. It also changes the magnetization switching mechanism, since for strong surface anisotropy the particle’s spins switch cluster-wise. For weak surface anisotropy we have been able to calculate the spin canting in the particle analytically and to obtain a novel second-order contribution to the particle’s overall anisotropy. It remains to …

Surface-induced disordering at first-order transitions in body-centered cubic binary alloys: A Monte-Carlo simulation

1990

Surface effects on the phase transition from theDO3 phase to the disordered phase are studied for a bcc Ising antiferromagnet with nearest and next-nearest neighbor exchange interactions in a magnetic field. This model can also be considered to represent binary alloys such as the FeAl-system; missing interactions near the surface translate then into surface magnetic fields. The change of the local magnetization near the surface then corresponds to “surface enrichment” of one component. For a plausible choice of parameters surface-induced disordering is found and the associated critical behavior is studied. Varying the bulk fieldH near the transition fieldHc, we find that the thickness of th…

The Shaping of Flux Density at the Air Gap of Small DC Motors with Different Permanent-Magnet Poles

1995

Design, operation and reliability of permanent-magnet DC micromotors are highly dependent of the magnet employed, i.e. of its demagnetization curve, type of magnetization (either radial or tangential), size and position within the micromotor as well as of its shape.

Martensite transition and microscopic magnetism of epitaxial Ni2MnGa films

2007

AbstractA magnetically induced shape memory effect in Ni2MnGa results in huge magnetostrictive effects of several percent. Using x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) we investigated element specific magnetic moments and electronic structure of single crystalline, (110) oriented Ni2MnGa films on a-plane Al2O3 substrates in the austenite and martensite state. The structural phase transition of the samples is evident from temperature dependent x-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. The Ni XAS differ significantly for temperatures above and below the martensite transition in agreement with published ab-initio calculations. Using XAS in transmissi…

Real Time Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Detection of Fumarase Activity using Parahydrogen-Hyperpolarized [1-13C]fumarate

2019

Hyperpolarized fumarate can be used as a probe of real-time metabolism in vivo, using carbon-13 magnetic resonance imaging. Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization is commonly used to produce hyperpolarized fumarate, but a cheaper and faster alternative is to produce hyperpolarized fumarate via PHIP (parahydrogen induced polarization). In this work we trans-hydrogenate [1-13C]acetylene dicarboxylate with para-enriched hydrogen using a commercially available Ru catalyst in water to produce hyperpolarized [1-13C]fumarate. We show that fumarate is produced in 89% yield, with succinate as a side product in 11% yield. The proton polarization is converted into 13C magnetization using a constant …

Deceleration of arbitrarily magnetized GRB ejecta: the complete evolution

2008

(Abridged) We aim to quantitatively understand the dynamical effect and observational signatures of magnetization of the GRB ejecta on the onset of the afterglow. We perform ultrahigh-resolution one-dimensional relativistic MHD simulations of the interaction of a radially expanding, magnetized ejecta with the interstellar medium. The need of ultrahigh numerical resolution derives from the extreme jump conditions in the region of interaction between the ejecta and the circumburst medium. We study the evolution of an ultrarelativistic shell all the way to a the self-similar asymptotic phase. Our simulations show that the complete evolution can be characterized in terms of two parameters, name…

Internal shocks in relativistic outflows: collisions of magnetized shells

2007

(Abridged): We study the collision of magnetized irregularities (shells) in relativistic outflows in order to explain the origin of the generic phenomenology observed in the non-thermal emission of both blazars and gamma-ray bursts. We focus on the influence of the magnetic field on the collision dynamics, and we further investigate how the properties of the observed radiation depend on the strength of the initial magnetic field and on the initial internal energy density of the flow. The collisions of magnetized shells and the radiation resulting from these collisions are calculated using the 1D relativistic magnetohydrodynamics code MRGENESIS. The interaction of the shells with the externa…
