The influence of the particle size on magnetic behaviors of nickeloxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) was reported. NiO NPs with a uniform particlesize were synthesized via a facile sol-gel method, and various sizes of NiO NPs(11, to 49 nm) were achieved by calcination at various temperatures (400, to 700°C). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that increasing the calcinationtemperature increas...

Abstract. The motion and shape of a ferrofluid droplet placed in a non-magnetic viscous fluid and driven by a magnetic field are modeled numerically. The governing equations are the Maxwell equations, momentum equation and incompressibility. The numerical simulation uses a volume-of-fluid algorithm with a continuum-surface-force formulation for an axisymmetric geometry. The deformations in the ...

This study was carried out to clarify the effect of a high gradient magnetic field on pressure characteristics of blood in a hollow fiber membrane oxygenator in a solenoid coil by means of numerical analysis. Deoxygenated erythrocytes are paramagnetic, and oxygenated erythrocytes are diamagnetic. Blood changes its magnetic susceptibility depending on whether it is carrying oxygen or not. Motion...

The penetrating finger instability which develops when a less viscous fluid pushes a more yiscous fluid can be stabilized through the use of a magnetizable fluid in the presence of a magnetic field tangential to the interface. A uniform magnetic field only stabilizes suitably short waves traveling along the field lines. Transverse waves of all wavelengths and orientations are also stabilized if...

We use cellular dynamical mean-field theory with extended unit cells to study the ground state of the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model at finite doping. We calculate the energy of states with d-wave superconductivity coexisting with spatially uniform magnetic order and find that they are energetically favoured in a large doping region as compared to the uniform solution. We study the spa...

The various industrial and engineering applications of flow of fluid between parallel plates have continued to generate renewed interests. In this work, a comparative study of approximate analytical methods is carried out using differential transformation,homotopy perturbation, Adomian decomposition, variation of parameter and variational iteration methods for the analysis of a steady two-dimen...

We have studied the presence of plateaus on the low-temperature magnetization of an antiferromagnetic spin-1 chain, as an external uniform magnetic field is varied. A crystal-field interaction is present in the model and the exchange constants follow a random quenched (Bernoulli or Gaussian) distribution. Using a transfer-matrix technique we calculate the largest Lyapunov exponent and, from it,...

Ferrofluid spin-up flow has been studied in finite height cylinders and spheres subjected to a uniform rotating magnetic field. Ultrasound measurements in finite height cylinders with a free surface show the presence of surface driven flows as well as bulk flows. In finite height cylinders with a cover, only bulk flows exist. Ultrasound measurements in fully filled spheres of ferrofluid give ne...

We investigate the evolution of the many-body wave function of a quantum system with time-varying effective mass, confined by a harmonic potential with time-varying frequency in the presence of a uniform time-varying magnetic field, and perturbed by a time-dependent uniform electric field. It is found that the wave function is comprised of a phase factor times the solution to the unperturbed ti...

Introduction: Integrated radiation therapy - MRI systems are capable of delivering high doses to the target tissues near sensitive organs and achieve better therapeutic results; however, the Applied magnetic fields for imaging, can influence the charged path, change the penetration depth and deflect the particles, laterally, leading to dose distribution variations. Therefore, i...
