Magnetic actuation has emerged as a powerful and versatile mechanism for diverse applications, ranging from soft robotics, biomedical devices to functional metamaterials.

In this research, electroplated magnetically isotropic and anisotropic soft alloys and screen-printed soft ferrites applicable to micromachined micromagnetic devices are fabricated and characterized using in situ measurement techniques. Appropriate magnetic materials and deposition methods, such as electroplating and screen-printing techniques, are examined and material test structures are fabr...

The economic realities of productivity, quality and reliability for the industrial societies of the 21th century are placing major demands on existing manufacturing technologies. To meet both present and anticipated requirements, new and improved methods are needed. To be e!ective, the measurement, electronics and control components, and sub-systems, in particular sensors and sensor systems, ha...

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...

This paper reviews recent developments in research in nanostructured permanent magnets (hard magnetic materials) with emphasis on bottom-up approaches to fabrication of hard/soft nanocomposite bulk magnets. Theoretical and experimental findings on the effects of soft phase and interface conditions on interphase exchange interactions are given. Synthesis techniques for hard magnetic nanoparticle...

The rapid thermal processing (RTP) technique features dynamic control of temperature, which permits high heating and cooling rates that cannot be reached with conventional furnace treatments. In recent years, RTP has been increasingly applied to the processing of magnetic materials. The controllable heating profiles provide an approach for the deliberate construction of materials structure via ...
