PURPOSE To determine magnetization transfer ratios for normal head and neck structures so that evaluation of disease will be possible. METHODS Two-dimensional magnetization transfer imaging was performed in 12 healthy volunteers and 20 patients. We used a repetition time of 500, echo time of 12, 20 degrees flip angle, and a magnetization transfer pulse offset from the resonance frequency of w...

Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by coprecipitation method using ammonia as precipitation agent. Most researchers usually add ammonia into the iron salt solution but in this work the salt solution drop wise has been added to the ammonia and the new obtained results were compared with those of other researches. Magnetic properties of nanoparticles were measured by VSM. The effect of rea...

The geometric frustration in a class of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-S Ising-Heisenberg diamond chains is investigated by combining three exact analytical techniques: Kambe projection method, decoration-iteration transformation and transfer-matrix method. The ground state, the magnetization process and the specific heat as a function of the external magnetic field are particularly examined for d...

First-principles and model calculations show that the Dirac surface state of the topological insulator Bi(2)Te(3) survives upon moderate Mn doping of the surface layers but can lose its topological character as a function of magnetization direction. The dispersion depends considerably on the direction of the Mn magnetization: for perpendicular magnetization, a gap of 16 meV opens up at the Dira...

where T is temperature, S is entropy and J.1oaM2/2 is the self-coupling energy. The dimensionless term a. has been defined previously [2] and represents the strength of the coupling of the individual magnetic moments to the magnetization M. The effective magnetic field causes a change in magnetization, and therefore is determined by the derivative of this energy with respect to magnetization M....

Nonlinear magneto-optical diffraction from periodically structured samples has been studied using magnetization-induced second harmonic generation ~MSHG!. Several orders of diffraction were clearly observable in MSHG, along with a strong dependence on the magnetization. Sizeable asymmetry between the MSHG signal measured in positive and negative diffraction peaks, especially visible in second o...

We report electrical manipulation of magnetization processes in a ferromagnetic semiconductor, in which low-density carriers are responsible for the ferromagnetic interaction. The coercive force HC at which magnetization reversal occurs can be manipulated by modifying the carrier density through application of electric fields in a gated structure. Electrically assisted magnetization reversal, a...

Nonmagnetostrictive Co-rich amorphous wires, 130 mm in diameter, were stress annealed to induce a transverse anisotropy. The resultant structure consists of a circular-magnetization single domain except in a thin core, 2 mm in diameter, where magnetization is axially oriented. The wall interconnecting the outer shell with the core magnetization induces a local helical anisotropy during the anne...

Cs2CuBr4 and Ba3NiSb2O9 are magnetically described as quasi-two-dimensional triangular-lattice antiferromagnets with spin1 2 and 1, respectively. We show that both systems exhibit a magnetization plateau at one-third of the saturation magnetization Ms due to the interplay of spin frustration and quantum fluctuation. In Cs2CuBr4 that has a spatially anisotropic triangular lattice, successive mag...
