Critical behavior of the surface-layer magnetization at the extraordinary transition in the three-dimensional Ising model.
1990
We have used a vectorized multispin-coding Monte Carlo method to determine the behavior of the surface-layer magnetization ${\mathit{m}}_{1}$ at the bulk transition in a simple-cubic Ising film with strongly enhanced surface coupling, i.e., at the extraordinary transition. In contrast to recent renormalization-group calculations we find no evidence for a discontinuous slope in the temperature dependence of ${\mathit{m}}_{1}$; the data are consistent with a free-energy-like (T-${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$${)}^{2\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}$ behavior plus background terms.
Non-Linear Inductors Characterization in Real Operating Conditions for Power Density Optimization in SMPS
2021
The exploitation of power inductors outside their linear region in switching converters can be achieved by raising the current until a decreasing of the inductance can be noticed. It allows using a smaller magnetic core increasing the power density of the converter. On the other hand, a detailed description of the magnetization curve including the temperature is required. Since this information is often not included in the inductor’s datasheets, this paper shows how to identify the behavior of an inductor when it is operated up to saturation and its temperature rises. In order to characterize the inductor in real operating conditions, a dedicated measurement rig has been developed. It consi…
Magnetic properties of Co–Al, Ni–Al, and Mg–Al hydrotalcites and the oxides formed upon their thermal decomposition
2002
The magnetic behaviour of Co–Al, Ni–Al, and Mg–Al hydrotalcites (HTlc) with a M2+/Al3+ molar ratio of 3 and carbonates in the interlayer, as well as the mixed oxides obtained after calcination at 823 K for 5 h, has been investigated by DC and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements and isothermal magnetisation. The samples were also characterised by ICP-OES and XRD. The magnetic measurements show that Co–Al and Ni–Al HTlcs behave as ferromagnets, with ordering temperatures of approximately 6–7 K in both cases, and displaying hysteresis loops at 2 K with coercive fields of 4.2 and 5.5 mT, respectively, whereas the Mg–Al-HTlc shows the expected diamagnetic behaviour. A solid solution of cobal…
Finite Size Scaling Tools for the Study of Interfacial Phenomena and Wetting
2019
In this chapter, we use the word “interface” in the sense of a boundary between coexisting bulk phases (in thermal equilibrium). An example is the interface between liquid (e.g. water) and gas phases (water vapor) but also interfaces between fluid and solid phases (e.g. water and ice) can be considered, as well as interfaces between coexisting solid phases. The generic example are “domain walls” in magnets, separating domains with opposite orientation of the magnetization, a case that can already be studied in the framework of the simple Ising model (Chaps. 2 and 3) where one has spins on the sites of a rigid perfect lattice pointing up or down.
Real-Time Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Detection of Fumarase Activity Using Parahydrogen-Hyperpolarized [1- 13 C]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…
The role of the effect of manufacturing tolerances on a tubular linear ferrite motor
2015
Electric machines are often designed without considering workmanship and materials tolerances. Their manufacturing process involves a series of steps, starting with raw materials and ending with the machine assembly. In each of these steps occur deviations due, for instance, to mistakes in positioning tools or to the tolerances in the electrical and magnetic characteristics of the materials. These deviations may cause unwanted parasitic effects such as torque ripple, losses or acoustic noise. Such effects have to be considered especially in machines used in industrial drives for high performance applications. Moreover the tolerances in the magnetic materials have a considerable effect on th…
Magnetic clusters from polyoxometalate complexes
1999
Abstract The present article highlights the increasing interest of polyoxometalates in molecular magnetism, providing at the same time a perspective of the state-of-the-art in this area. The main focus is the polyoxotungstates. The first aspect we discuss is that of the coordination chemistry of these metal–oxide ligands. We show that this chemistry leads to remarkable examples of well-insulated magnetic clusters of controlled nuclearity and topology. In these clusters detailed information on the nature of the magnetic exchange interactions can be extracted by using, in addition to the classical magnetic techniques (magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and EPR spectroscopy), other physica…
Coexistence of metamagnetism and slow relaxation of magnetization in ammonium hexafluoridorhenate.
2020
The (NH4)2[ReF6] (1) salt was studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, theoretical calculations, and magnetic measurements. 1 crystallizes in the trigonal space group Pm1 (Re–F = 1.958(5) A). In the Raman spectrum of 1, splitting of the observed peaks was observed and correlated to the valence frequencies of vibration of the [ReF6]2− anion. The study of the magnetic properties of 1, through DC and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements, reveals the coexistence of metamagnetism and slow relaxation of magnetization at low temperature, which is unusual in the molecular systems based on the paramagnetic 5d metal ions reported so far.
Slow magnetic relaxation and water oxidation activity of dinuclear CoIICoIII and unique triangular CoIICoIICoIII mixed-valence complexes
2020
Construction of efficient multifunctional materials is one of the greatest challenges of our time. We herein report the magnetic and catalytic characterization of dinuclear [CoIIICoII(HL1)2(EtOH)(H2O)]Cl·2H2O (1) and trinuclear [CoIIICoII2(HL2)2(L2)Cl2]·3H2O (2) mixed valence complexes. Relevant structural features of the complexes have been mentioned to correlate with their magnetic and catalytic properties. Unique structural features, especially in terms of significant distortions around the CoII centre(s), prompted us to test both spin–orbit coupling (SOC) and zero field splitting (ZFS) methodologies for the systems. The positive sign of D values has been established from X-band EPR spec…
Localized magnetic moments in the Heusler alloy Rh2MnGe
2009
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) of core-level absorption (x-ray absorption spectroscopy, XAS) spectra in the soft x-ray region has been measured for the ferromagnetic Heusler alloy Rh2MnGe at the Rh M3,2 and Mn L3,2 edges. The ratio of Rh and Mn spin moments amounts to 0.05 which is smaller than the ratio of 0.1 determined by a local density approximation electronic band structure calculation. We have found that the orbital moments of the Rh 4d and Mn 3d states are very small. The observed Rh 2p XAS spectrum can be understood on the basis of the Rh 3d partial density of unoccupied states as is typical for metals. The observed features of the Mn 2p XAS and XMCD spectra are dominated…
