Measurements of the Spin-Selective Magnetic Hysteresis Curve in Fe–3 wt.% Si Alloy Using Magnetic Compton Scattering

The creep evolution was followed by conducting magnetic measurements on ferromagnetic steel samples exposed to different creep strains at a constant temperature. 410 stainless steel (410 SS) rods were submitted to creep at 625°C applying a constant stress of 124 MPa for different creep times. A magnetic hysteresis curve was generated for every sample. It was found that the shape of the hysteresis curves varied with creep time. The extent of creep was assessed by measuring magnetic saturation, coercivity, and remanence. The changes in microstructure due to creep are related to variations in magnetic properties, which are explained in terms of possible magnetic domain pinning. It was observed that the microstructural changes due to creep are better correlated with the coercivity of the material. In summary, it is feasible to use a magnetoelastic sensor to detect the partial level of creep in a ferromagnetic material by nondestructive examination.

Abstract We report a universal terahertz (THz) emission behavior from simple Ni, Fe, and Co metallic ferromagnetic films, triggered by the femtosecond laser pulse and subsequent photoinduced demagnetization on an ultrafast time scale. THz emission behavior in ferromagnetic films is found to be consistent with initial magnetization states controlled by external fields, where the hysteresis of the maximal THz emission signal is observed to be well-matched with the magnetic hysteresis curve. It is experimentally demonstrated that the ultrafast THz emission by the photoinduced demagnetization is controllable in a simple way by external fields as well as pump fluences.

(Mn,Fe) codoped ZnO nanowires were synthesized on silicon substrates in situ using a chemical vapor deposition method. The structure and property of the products were investigated by X-ray, electron microscopy, Raman, photoluminescence, and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer. The doped nanowires are of pure wurtzite phase with single crystalline, and the elements distribute homogeneously in the doped nanowires. Photoluminescence spectrum of the doped nanowires is dominated by a deep-level emission with a negligible near-band-edge emission. The magnetic hysteresis curve with a coercive field of 35 Oe is clearly observed at 300 K, resulting from room-temperature ferromagnetic ordering in the (Mn,Fe) codoped ZnO nanowires, which has great potential applications for spintronics devices.

Spinel ferrite Ni[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]Zn[Formula: see text]Fe2O4 was prepared by a conventional ceramic process followed by sintering at three different temperatures (1050[Formula: see text]C, 1100[Formula: see text]C and 1150[Formula: see text]C). X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigations stated the single-phase cubic spinel structure and the FTIR spectra revealed two prominent bands within the wavenumber region from 600 cm[Formula: see text] to 400 cm[Formula: see text]. Surface morphology showed highly crystalline grain development with sizes ranging from 0.27 [Formula: see text]m to 0.88 [Formula: see text]m. The magnetic hysteresis curve at ambient temperature revealed a significant effect of sintering temperature on both coercivity ([Formula: see text] and saturation magnetization ([Formula: see text]. Temperature caused a decrease in DC electrical resistivity, while the electron transport increased, suggesting the semiconducting nature of all samples and that they well followed the Arrhenius law from which their activation energies were determined. The values of Curie temperature ([Formula: see text] and activation energy were influenced by the sintering temperature. Frequency-dependent dielectric behavior (100 Hz–1 MHz) was also analyzed, which may be interpreted by the Maxwell–Wagner-type polarization. The UV–vis–NIR reflectance curve was analyzed to calculate the bandgap of ferrites, which showed a decreasing trend with increasing sintering temperature.

Magnetic catalysts are easily removed from the reaction process, thereby reducing the wastewater generation. Therefore, the study proposes to evaluate the performance of the nanomagnetic catalyst Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 in the transesterification reaction of the soybean oil to produce biodiesel, varying processing conditions (temperature, molar ratio of oil:alcohol and catalyst amount) on the catalytic reaction. The catalyst was synthesized by combustion reaction and characterized by XRD, BET, magnetic measurements and gas chromatography. The results revealed the inverse spinel phase formation, type B(AB)2O4, with isotherm profile classified as type V with hysteresis loop of type 3 (H3), and surface area of 48.39 m2g-1. The magnetic hysteresis curve showed a characteristic behavior of soft magnetic material with saturation magnetization value of 55 emu/g. Chromatographic analysis confirmed that the magnetic nanoparticles are catalytically active and that the processing conditions directly influence the conversion into esters.
