The design of magnetic nanoparticles by incorporation of iron oxide colloids within gelatine/silica hybrid nanoparticles has been performed for the first time through a nanoemulsion route using the encapsulation of pre-formed magnetite nanocrystals and the in situ precipitation of ferrous/ferric ions. The first method leads to bi-continuous hybrid nanocomposites containing a limited amount of w...

This paper presents experimental observations of the nanocrystallization process in materials having Fe–Si (FINEMET), a-Fe (NANOPERM), and a0-FeCo (HITPERM) nanocrystals coupled through an amorphous phase. Crystallization kinetics and chemical partitioning during crystallization are described. Isothermal nanocrystallization is discussed in the framework of the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov mod...

This chapter describes different rapidly solidified processing routes of soft magnetic alloys and their properties and applications in different areas. Section-2 explains the details of process mechanism. The functions of different alloying elements are discussed with the alloy design of soft magnetic alloys in section-3. The structureproperty correlation is described in section-4. Section-5 hi...

Oriented soft magnetic hcp-Co1 - x Ir x films with a fixed thickness of 120 nm were fabricated. All prepared films exhibit soft magnetic properties but various magnetocrystalline anisotropies with the variation of Ir content. The measured data shows that diverse domain structures including the Néel wall, Bloch wall, and stripe domains present in a fixed film thickness. It is singular for the si...

Cobalt ferrite or CoFe2O4 has unique physical and magnetic properties depend on its synthesis method. The application of cobalt ferrite as nanomedicine material become more interesting, however analysis on physical and magnetic properties based on synthesis method have not been discussed. The cobalt ferrite in this research was synthesised using two different methods: the ...

A powder form of Fe-based nanocrystalline Fe73Cu1Nb1.5V2 Si13.5B9 has been prepared and its longitudinally driven magneto-impedance (LDMI) effect has been studied as a function of the structural and magnetic changes induced by suitable thermal treatments for the first time. The experimental results show that the LDMI ratio increases as the annealing temperature increases in the range of 480–600...
