Combating illicit trafficking of Special Nuclear Material may require the ability to image through electromagnetic shields. This is the case when the trafficking involves cargo containers. Thus, suitable detection techniques are required to penetrate a ferromagnetic enclosure. The present study considers techniques that employ an electromagnetic based principle of detection. It is generally ass...

The material dependence of hot electron magnetotransport in a spin-valve transistor has been theoretically explored. We calculate the parallel and antiparallel collector current changing the types and relative spin orientation of the ferromagnetic layers. The magnetocurrent has been presented as well. In this calculations, spin dependent self energy effect of hot electron in ferromagnetic mater...

A variety of living organisms has been found recently that are biochemically able to precipitate the ferromagnetic mineral magnetite (Fe3O4). Originally discovered in the radular teeth of a primitive marine mollusc (Lowenstam, 1962), magnetite has since been reported in bacteria (Frankel, Blakemore & Wolfe, 1979), arthropods (Gould, Kirschvink & Deffeyes, 1978), and vertebrates (Walcott, Gould ...

Concurrent hyperthermia and radiation therapy in treatment of cancer show a strong evidence of a synergistic enhancement. We designed a new self-regulating Thermo-Brachytherapy seed, which serves as a source of both radiation and heat for concurrent administration of brachytherapy and hyperthermia. The Thermo-Brachytherapy seed has a core of ferromagnetic material which produces heat when subje...

We have measured the superconducting transition temperature Tc of ferromagnet/superconductor/ ferromagnet trilayers using Permalloy Py=Ni84Fe16 as a strongly polarized ferromagnetic material. For a parallel P or antiparallel AP alignment of the magnetization directions of the outer ferromagnets, we observe a Tc difference as large as 20 mK, with a stronger suppression of superconductivity in th...

Experimental evidence of left-handed transmission is demonstrated through an array of ferromagnetic microwires. We used amorphous magnetic microwires to take advantage of both electric and magnetic responses locally generating a double negative medium at microwave frequencies, where the ferromagnetic resonance effects take place. The dilution of the responses of the ferromagnetic material provi...

A Cryogenic Current Comparator is a highly sensitive tool for the non-destructive online monitoring of continuous as well as bunched beams of very low intensities. The noise-limited current resolution of such a device depends on the ferromagnetic material embedded in the pickup coil of the CCC. Therefore, the main focus of research was on the low temperature properties of ferromagnetic core mat...
