Nanoparticle Clusters

Manipulation of magnetic nanoparticles has many applications in several fields and the behaviors of magnetic nanoparticles subjected to rotating or alternating magnetic fields attracted more attention from biomedical applications. In an aqueous solution containing bio-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles, due to the interaction between biomolecules, these nanoparticles agglomerate and form clusters with various sizes and shapes. In this study, the behaviors of magnetic nanoparticle clusters in an aqueous solution under rotating magnetic fields were investigated. Due to the interaction between the rotating magnetic field and the net magnetic dipole moment, the clusters were subjected to forced vibration. Two motion modes of clusters were observed as the magnetic field rotated. These two modes are rotation and oscillation. The diameters of the magnetic clusters with rotational or oscillational motions were measured. A critical diameter range of magnetic cluster was defined and the range is between 10.21 μm and 6.17 μm that could be used to distinguish rotation and oscillation of clusters.

Rotating Magnetic Fields

A numerical model aimed at simulating the segregations during the columnar solidification of a binary alloy is used to investigate the effects of a forced convection. Our objective is to study how the segregation characteristics in the mushy zone are influenced by laminar flows driven both by buoyancy and by AC fields of moderate intensity. Various types of magnetic fields have been tested, namely travelling, rotating magnetic field and slowly modulated electromagnetic forces. The calculations have been achieved on two types of alloys, namely tin-lead and aluminiumsilicon. It is shown that the flow configuration changes the segregation pattern. The change comes from the coupling between the liquid flow and the top of the mushy zone via the pressure distribution along the solidification front. The pressure difference along the front drives a mush flow, which transports the solute in the mushy region. Another interesting type of travelling magnetic field has been tested. It consists of a slowly modulated travelling magnetic field. It is shown that in a certain range of values of the modulation period, the channels are almost suppressed. The normal macrosegregation remains, but the averaged segregation in the mushy zone is weaker than in the natural convection case. The optimal period depends on the electromagnetic force strength as well as the cooling rate. The latter phenomenon cannot occur in the case of rotating magnetic fields, since in that configuration the sign of the pressure gradient along the solidification front remains unchanged. Recent solidification experiments with electromagnetic stirring confirm the predicted macrosegregation patterns.

Bridgman Process

During the vertical Bridgman process, a single semiconductor crystal is grown by the solidification of an initially molten semiconductor contained in an ampoule. The motion of the electrically conducting molten semiconductor can be controlled with an externally applied magnetic field. This paper treats the flow of a molten semiconductor and the dopant transport during the vertical Bridgman process with a periodic transverse or rotating magnetic field. The frequency of the externally applied magnetic field is sufficiently low that this field penetrates throughout the molten semiconductor. Dopant distributions in the crystal are presented.

Rotating Field

The use of rotating magnetic fields (RMF) to drive steady currents in plasmas involves a transfer of energy and angular momentum from the radio frequency source feeding the rotating field coils to the plasma. The. power-torque relationships in RMF systems are discussed and the analogy between RMF current drive and the polyphase induction motor is explained. The general relationship between the energy and angular momentum transfer is utilized to calculate the efficiency of the RMF plasma current drive. It is found that relatively high efficiencies can be achieved in RMF current drive because of the low phase velocity and small slip between the rotating field and the electron fluid.

The motion of electrons and ions in the self-consistent fields of a compact toroidal equilibrium maintained by means of a rotating magnetic field is studied. It is found that the particles are confined although the lines of the instantaneous magnetic field are open. The results are compared with those obtained in an earlier study of the motion of charged particles in the self-consistent fields appropriate to cylindrical plasma equilibrium maintained by means of rotating magnetic fields.

The Magnetic Field

The structure-directing influence of static and dynamic, i.e. rotating, magnetic fields on the orientational alignment of spindle-type hematite particles with a high aspect ratio is investigated. Structural characterization using electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering confirms a nearly collinear particle arrangement with orientation of the main particle axis either parallel or perpendicular to the substrate as directed by the magnetic field geometry. The combination of large structural and magnetocrystalline anisotropies results in significantly different, strongly anisotropic magnetic properties of the assemblies revealed by directional magnetization measurements.
