In continuation of the physiological investigation concerning the metabolism of the organic-phosphorus compound known as phytin, which has been and is being carried out at this institution by Dr. Jordan, a closer study of the chemical properties of this substance, phytin, became necessary. Much work has already been done and reported on this subject by various investigators. Definite informatio...

A spectre-photometric method is described for the determination of magnesium* calcium, strontium and barium coexisting in binary mixtures. The method employs totramethyimurexide as an auxiliary ligand, and has been developed for pure two-component systems, such as are involved in investigations of cation-exchange equilibria on anionic polymers. The analysis is performed with calibration curves ...

Most commercial water contains alkaline earth metal cations such as magnesium, calcium and barium, and anions such as carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate, silicate, oxalate, phosphate, etc. Different combinations of these anions and cations will give rise to potentially scalant systems, such as calcium carbonate, calcium silicate, calcium sulfate, calcium oxalate, barium sulfate, magnesium sulfate,...

Barium hexaferrite (BaHF) with the chemical formula BaFe12O19 is a hard magnetic material and has high magnetic anisotropy field (MAF), 17 kOe. The easy direction of magnetization corresponds to the crystallographic c-axis and BaHF particles orient in this direction when are exposed to an external magnetic field. Because of the high MAF, a ferromagnetic resonant frequency appears from 45 to 50 ...

Magnetic nanodiscs are fabricated by depositing cobalt onto 10–30 nm diameter silicon nanopillars, which were prepatterned using gold colloids as etch masks. The magnetic anisotropy energy of individual nanodiscs is studied by measuring the angular dependence of switching field using the micro-SQUID technique. The Stoner–Wohlfarth model, describing the magnetization reversal by unifom rotation,...

We have calculated the s-wave scattering length of all the even isotopes of calcium (Ca) and barium (Ba) in order to investigate the prospect of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). For Ca we have used an accurate molecular potential based on detailed spectroscopic data. Our calculations show that Ca does not provide other isotopes alternative to the recently Bose condensed 40Ca that suffers stron...

The general behavior of majrn»!it< (iron ferrite) at its low temperature transformation (ca 1!8°K) is reviewed. One of the properties which undergoes a largr change is the magnetocrystailine snisotropy, which is larger in magnitude and has a lower symmetry below the transformation. The magnetic symmetry axis below the transition tempeiature can be predetermined by cooling a single crystal throu...

Hard-magnetic barium ferrite (BF) nanoparticles with a hexagonal plate-like structure were used as an additive to carbonyl iron (CI) microparticle-based magnetorheological (MR) fluid. The morphology of the pristine CI and CI/BF mixture particles was examined by scanning electron microscopy. saturation magnetization coercivity values each particle measured in powder state vibrating sample magnet...

Epitaxial manganese substituted M-type barium ferrite thin films are deposited by alternating target laser ablation deposition (ATLAD) of BaFe O , Fe O , and MnFe O targets. The crystal structure and the epitaxy of the films are investigated by X-ray diffraction. Surface morphology is studied by atomic force microscopy. Magnetic properties of the films are characterized by vibrating sample magn...
