This review seeks to summarize the recent developments in the synthesis, structural characterization, properties, and applications in the ®elds of amorphous, bulk amorphous, and nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials. Conventional physical metallurgical approaches to improving soft ferromagnetic properties have relied on the optimization of chemical and microstructural features. Within the las...

In this work, nanocrystalline Fe85Si10Ni5 soft magnetic powders were prepared by mechanical alloying and subsequent annealing to reduce the internal stresses and lattice strains. The powders were mixed with phenolic resin and warm pressed to produce nanostructured soft magnetic composites. The effect of annealing time and temperature on the crystalline structure, microstructure and magnetic pro...

introduction range and diffusion of positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals are important parameters for image resolution in positron emission tomography (pet). in this study, geant4 toolkit was applied to study positron diffusion in soft tissues with and without a magnetic field for six commonly used isotopes in pet imaging including 11c, 13n, 15o, 18f, 68ga, and 82rb. materials and methods gea...

We have constructed an end station for nanoscale magnetic materials study at the soft X-ray beamline HiSOR BL-14 at Hiroshima Synchrotron Radiation Center. An ultrahigh-vacuum scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was installed for an in situ characterization of nanoscale magnetic materials in combination with soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy experiment. The STM was conn...

− The article surveys amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys for soft magnetic applications. Both materials have much in common starting from their way of production and ranging over to the key factors which determine their properties. Thus, the magneto-crystalline anisotropy is randomly fluctuating on a scale much smaller than the domain wall width and, as a consequence, is averaged out by excha...

Domain imaging of soft magnetic materials by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is difficult due to the potentially saturating field of the microscope’s objective lens. Energy filtered Lorentz microscopy provides a low field, high resolution domain imaging solution for soft magnetic materials. This technique was successfully applied to a soft magnetic nanocrystalline alloy to examine the do...

Fe-based metallic glasses such as FINEMET, NANOPERM and HITPERM usually produced from amorphous precursors in various forms have been intensively studied over the past thirty years, because these materials exhibit a unique combination of soft magnetic properties [1], which is very interesting from a scientifi c point of view. The application of these materials at elevated temperatures is determ...

Magnetic materials, both hard and soft, are used extensively in several components of particle accelerators. Magnetically soft iron–nickel alloys are used as shields for the vacuum chambers of accelerator injection and extraction septa; Fe-based material is widely employed for cores of accelerator and experiment magnets; soft spinel ferrites are used in collimators to damp trapped modes; innova...

Additive manufacturing (AM) allows printing parts of complex geometries that cannot be produced by standard technologies. Besides, AM provides the possibility to create gradient materials with different structural and physical properties. We, for first time, printed soft magnetic from paramagnetic powders (316L steel Cu-12Al-2Fe (in wt.%) aluminium bronze)). The properties can adjusted during i...
