Structural transformations of superparamagnetic colloids confined within self-assembled microtubes are studied by systematically varying tube-colloid size ratios and external magnetic field directions. A magnetic field parallel to microtubes may stretch non-linear chains like zigzag chains into linear chains. Non-parallel fields induce new structures including repulsive chains of single colloid...

We study quantum interference effects on the transition strength for strongly localized electrons hopping on 2D square and 3D cubic lattices in a magnetic field B. In 2D, we obtain closedform expressions for the tunneling probability between two arbitrary sites by exactly summing the corresponding phase factors of all directed paths connecting them. An analytic expression for the magnetoconduct...

I have just three minor comments. 1. I did not get a feeling for the significance of the results shown in Fig. 6 which show discrepancies between 3D and 2D magnetic field treatment of up to +/-7K in the tropics. This sounds a lot and makes me wonder if modelling from 2D is in fact useless for these higher channels. A question is how does this compare to variance with respect to climate in obser...

The synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles with monodispere size distributions, their self assembly into ordered arrays and their magnetic behavior as a function of structural order (ferrofluids and 2D assemblies) are presented. Magnetic colloids of monodispersed, passivated, cobalt nanocrystals were produced by the rapid pyrolysis of cobalt carbonyl in solution. The size, size distribution (std. ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows studying human brain function non-invasively up to the spatial resolution of cortical columns and layers. Most fMRI acquisitions rely on the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast employing T(*) 2 weighted 2D multi-slice echo-planar imaging (EPI). At ultra-high magnetic field (i.e., 7 T and above), it has been shown experimentally a...

We have studied quantized transport in HgTe wells with inverted band structure corresponding to the two-dimensional topological insulator phase (2D TI) with locally controlled density allowing n-p-n and n-2D TI-n junctions. The resistance reveals the fractional plateau 2h/e(2) in the n-p-n regime in the presence of the strong perpendicular magnetic field. We found that in the n-2D TI-n regime t...

In the rotating electrical machines, active magnetic bearing are basically performing the same role like mechanical bearings to support rotor. The function is based on the principle of magnetic levitation. The idea behind this involves creation of a magnetic field by supplying controlled currents in the bearing coil through amplifiers and complex power electronics. The accurate design of a magn...

in this paper, the hartree-fock method has been formulated to investigate some of the ground state properties of quasi-one-dimensional interacting electron gas in the presence of the magnetic field. the bare coulomb interaction between electrons has been assumed. for this system, we have also computed some of its thermodynamic and magnetic properties such as the energy, pressure, incompressibil...
