Metal-Insulator type nano-granular magnetic (NGM) thin films have been noteworthily developed as several functional magnetic materials. The formation of nanogranular structure is strongly related to the magnitude of heat formation (H) of intergranule materials. Forming a larger H allows a clearer granular structure to be obtained. Soft magnetic properties and TMR effect of NGM films are revie...

In this review we will focus on how magnetic fields can be used to manipulate the motion of various micro- and nanostructures in solution. We will distinguish between ferromagnetic, paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials. Furthermore, the use of various kinds of magnetic fields, such as homogeneous, inhomogeneous and rotating magnetic fields, is discussed. To date most research has focused on t...

Composite soft magnetic materials consist of magnetic particles in a non-magnetic matrix. The properties of such materials can be modelled using effective medium theory. Measurements have been made of the complex permeability of composites produced using ferrite powder and polyester resin. The success of various effective medium expressions in predicting the variation of complex permeability wi...

Soft magnetic composite (SMC) materials are especially suitable for construction of electrical machines with complex structures and three-dimensional (3-D) magnetic fluxes. In the design and optimization of such 3-D flux machines, the 3-D vector magnetic properties of magnetic materials should be properly determined, modeled and applied for accurate calculation of the magnetic field distributio...
