this paper provides an overview of how the surface properties of ferromagnetic nanoparticles dispersed in fluids is modified by natural and biocompatible polymers. among common magnetic nanoparticles, magnetite (fe3o4) and maghemite (g-fe203) are popular candidates because of their biocompatibility. natural polymeric coating materials are the most commonly used biocompatible magnetic nanopartic...

Za model vodiËa i feromagnetske ploËe napravljen je 3D proraËun magnetskog polja pomoÊu integralnih jednadæbi za kvazistatiËki sluËaj. Usporeeni rezultati proraËuna i mjerenja dobro se slaæu. Pristup preko integralnih jednadæbi pokazuje se vrlo efi kasnim u prostoru u kojem se traæi polje daleko od izvora i u kojem nema puno razliËitih feromagnetskih materijala. Pri tome se pretpostavlja da su...

Despite remarkable progress in developing multifunctional materials, spin-driven ferroelectrics featuring both spontaneous magnetization and electric polarization are still rare. Among such ferromagnetic ferroelectrics are conical spin spiral magnets with a simultaneous reversal of magnetization and electric polarization that is still little understood. Such materials can feature various multif...

The homogenized energy framework quantifying ferroelectric and ferromagnetic hysteresis is increasingly used for comprehensive material characterization and model-based control design. For operating regimes in which thermal relaxation mechanisms and stress-dependencies are negligible, existing algorithms are sufficiently efficient to permit device optimization and the potential for real-time co...

Magnetic properties (coercivity and magnetization) of ferromagnetic films are strongly affected by the proximity to materials that undergo a metal to insulator transition. Here, we show that stress associated with structural changes across the metal-insulator phase transition in VO2 and V2O3 produces a magnetoelastic anisotropy in ferromagnetic films (Co and Ni) deposited on top of the oxides. ...

The first photocontrollable magnetic nanoparticles containing CdS and Prussian blue (PB) have been created using reverse micelles as nanoreactors. Photoinduced electron transfer from CdS to PB in the reverse micelle changed the magnetic properties of the composite nanoparticles from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic. The magnetization in the ferromagnetic region below 4 K was substantially decrease...

We exploit theoretically a magneto-controlled nonlinear optical material which contains ferromagnetic nanoparticles with a non-magnetic metallic nonlinear shell in a host fluid. Such an optical material can have anisotropic linear and nonlinear optical properties and a giant enhancement of nonlinearity, as well as an attractive figure of merit.

The electrical control of the magnetization switching in ferromagnets is highly desired for future spintronic applications. Here we report on hybrid piezoelectric (PZT)/ferromagnetic (Co2FeAl) devices in which the planar Hall voltage in the ferromagnetic layer is tuned solely by piezo voltages. The change of planar Hall voltage is associated with magnetization switching through 90° in the plane...

Single crystalline Bi1−xCaxMnO3 (0.74 ≤ x ≤ 0.82) were studied with neutron scattering, electron diffraction and bulk magnetic measurement. We discovered dynamic ferromagnetic spin correlations at high temperatures, which are replaced by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations at a concomitant charge ordering and structural transition. Our results indicate that thermal-activated hopping of the Jahn...

Ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials are employed as both actuators and sensors in a wide variety of applications including fluid pumps, nanopositioning stages, sonar transducers, vibration control, ultrasonic sources, and high-speed milling. They are attractive because the resulting transducers are solid-state and often very compact. However, the coupling of field to mechanical deformatio...
