Fragmenting gadolinium: Mononuclear polyoxometalate-based magnetic coolers for ultra-low temperatures

2012

The polyoxometalate clusters with formula [Gd(W 5O 18) 2] 9- and [Gd(P 5W 30O 110)] 12- each carry a single magnetic ion of gadolinium, which is the most widespread element among magnetic refrigerant materials. In an adiabatic demagnetization, the lowest attainable temperature is limited by the presence of magnetic interactions that bring about magnetic order below a critical temperature. We demonstrate that this limitation can be overcome by chemically engineering the molecules in such a way to effectively screen all magnetic interactions, suggesting their use as ultra-low-temperature coolers. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Microextraction with phases containing nanoparticles.

2015

In this article, the state of the art of microextraction techniques that involve nanoparticles or nanomaterials (NPs) is reviewed, with special emphasis on the applications described in the biomedical field. The uses and advantages of the different types of NPs such as carbon nanotubes (either single- and multi-walled) and other carbon-based materials, metallic NPs, including gold, silver and magnetic NPs, and silica NPs are summarized. The main strategies used to modify the selectivity, extractive capacity and/or the stability of NPs through a chemical reaction are also reviewed. The potential advantages of NPs in different forms of off-line and on-line microextraction are discussed, and …

A Luminescent Thermometer Exhibiting Slow Relaxation of the Magnetization: Toward Self-Monitored Building Blocks for Next-Generation Optomagnetic Dev…

2019

The development and integration of Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) into molecular electronic devices continue to be an exciting challenge. In such potential devices, heat generation due to the electric current is a critical issue that has to be considered upon device fabrication. To read out accurately the temperature at the submicrometer spatial range, new multifunctional SMMs need to be developed. Herein, we present the first self-calibrated molecular thermometer with SMM properties, which provides an elegant avenue to address these issues. The employment of 2,2′-bipyrimidine and 1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetonate ligands results in a dinuclear compound, [Dy2(bpm)(tfaa)6], which exhibits slow …

A molecular chemical approach to the magnetic multilayers

1999

Abstract Using the bi-dimensional bimetallic networks based upon oxalate complexes, it is possible to prepare new multilayered materials by insertion of ‘electroactive’ molecules in between these layers. According to this approach a new family of compounds presenting alternating ferromagnetic—paramagnetic layers have been successfully prepared. Here we present the magnetic and specific heat characterization.

Improvement of IPMSM performance through a mixed radial-tangential rotor structure

2010

In this paper an IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) rotor configuration optimization is proposed in order to increase the performances in terms of torque, limiting at the same time the rotor leakage flux. The final mixed radial and tangential rotor configuration here proposed and described determines a reduction in PM material quantity of about 25% compared to a tangential IPMSM one with the same dimension and weight, together with an increase of the motoring torque of about 50%. Some simulation carried out by using a FEM software and a comparative analysis with two traditional IPMSMs rotor configurations show that a significant improvement can be achieved with limited chan…

Analysis, characterization and minimization of IPMSMs cogging torque with different rotor structures

2015

This paper presents the analysis, characterization and comparison of the cogging torque components generated by five different IPMSM rotor structures. More in detail, an IPMSM model (named IPMSM1), which is derived from a commercial geometry, is analyzed by using a Finite Element Method (FEM) approach. Then, four other IPMSM models, which are obtained by modifying the IPMSM1 rotor structure and by maintaining the same stator configuration, are proposed and analyzed. From the obtained simulation results, the cogging torque components for each structure are determined and compared. From this comparison, a significant cogging torque decrease is occurring for the modified geometries, without af…

Magnetic microrods as a tool for microrheology

2015

International audience; Dynamics of superparamagnetic rods in crossed constant and alternating magnetic fields as a function of field frequency are studied and it is shown that above the critical value of the amplitude of the alternating field the rod oscillates around the direction of the alternating field. The fit of the experimentally measured time dependence of the mean orientation angle of the rod allows one to determine the ratio of magnetic and viscous torques which act on the rod. The protocol of microrheological measurements consists of recording the dynamics of the orientation of the rod when the magnetic field is applied at an angle to the rod and observing its relaxation due to …

A new enneanuclear nickel(II) cluster with a rectangular face-centered trigonal prism structure and cluster glass behavior.

2011

An enneanuclear nickel(II) complex with a rectangular face-centered trigonal prism structure bridged by μ(2)-pyrazolate, μ(6)-CO(3)(2-) and μ(3)-OH(-) groups was synthesized. It displays cluster glass-like magnetic behavior assigned to the single molecule magnet properties of {Ni(9)} clusters and weak intercluster interaction.
