Measurements of the dynamic susceptibility of a magnetic fluid based on cobalt ferrite particles stabilized in water by a double surfactant layer have been carried out. Cobalt ferrite, in comparison with magnetite, has a significantly higher energy of magnetic anisotropy. Therefore, for particles of cobalt ferrite, the Brownian mechanism of relaxation of magnetic moments is characteristic. The Debye (with a finite relaxation time) contribution to the dynamic susceptibility and the high-frequency (dispersionless) contribution are distinguished by constructing Cole-Cole diagrams. It was found that with an increase in the magnetizing field, the Debye contribution to the dynamic susceptibility decreases, while the high-frequency one (having a zero relaxation time) remains unchanged. The indicated property of the dynamic susceptibility of a fluid with a Brownian relaxation mechanism is radically different from the properties of the susceptibility of a fluid with Néel particles. Previously, measurements were made of the susceptibility of a fluid based on magnetite particles stabilized with oleic acid in kerosene. The magnetite particles have significantly lower anisotropy energy and are characterized by the predominance of the Néel relaxation mechanism. Turning on the magnetizing field caused a decrease in both the Debye part of the susceptibility and the high-frequency part of the susceptibility of magnetite particles.

We investigated the heating abilities of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in a high-frequency magnetic field (MF) as a function of surface coating and size. The cobalt ferrite MNPs were obtained by a hydrothermal method in a water–oleic acid–ethanol system, yielding MNPs with mean diameter of about 5 nm, functionalized with the oleic acid. By applying another cycle of hydrothermal synthesis, we obtained MNPs with about one nm larger diameter. In the next step, the oleic acid was exchanged for 11-maleimidoundecanoic acid or 11-(furfurylureido)undecanoic acid. For the heating experiments, all samples were dispersed in the same solvent (dichloroethane) in the same concentration and the heating performance was studied in a broad interval of MF frequencies (346–782 kHz). The obtained results enabled us to disentangle the impact of the hydrodynamic, structural, and magnetic parameters on the overall heating capabilities. We also demonstrated that the specific power absorption does not show a monotonous trend within the series in the investigated interval of temperatures, pointing to temperature-dependent competition of the Brownian and Néel contributions in heat release.

Abstract The complex magnetic susceptibility χ(f) = χ′(f) - i χ″(f), of a ferrofluid sample with magnetite particles dispersed in kerosene and stabilized with oleic acid, over the range 0.1 GHz to 6 GHz, was determined. The initial sample has been successively diluted with kerosene (with a dilution rate of 2/3), thus obtaining further three samples. Using the complex magnetic susceptibility measurements of each sample, the frequency field and particle concentration dependencies of the heating rate of the ferrofluid samples, were analyzed. The results show the possibility of using the heating rate of ferrofluid samples with different particle concentrations, in hyperthermia applications.

In the present work, a multiscale post-seismic relaxation mechanism, based on the existence of a distribution in relaxation time, is presented. Assuming an Arrhenius dependence of the relaxation time with uniform distributed activation energy in a mesoscopic scale, a generic logarithmic-type relaxation in a macroscopic scale results. The model was applied in the case of the strong 2015 Lefkas Mw6.5 (W. Greece) earthquake, where continuous GNSS (cGNSS) time series were recorded in a station located in the near vicinity of the epicentral area. The application of the present approach to the Lefkas event fits the observed displacements implied by a distribution of relaxation times in the range τmin ≈3.5 days to τmax ≈350 days.

Abstract Brillouin spectra of molten CSNO3 were investigated for scattering angles between 40 and 140° and in a temperature interval of 420-520 °C. An Ar+ singlemode laser was used for excitation and the total instrumental width was ~265 MHz. The measured frequency shifts and linewidths of the Brillouin components were used to determine velocities and attenuations of thermal sound waves in the frequency range 2.3-7.0 GHz. A dispersion of 4-5% was found between the present hyper­ sonic velocities and reported ultrasonic velocities. A considerable decrease in attenuation with frequency was observed in the investigated frequency range, with the value at high frequency ap­ proaching the classical attenuation. The results are in good agreement with Mountain's theory of a single relaxation time. The relaxation time of the bulk viscosity coefficient was calculated to 1.2×10-10S.

The dielectric relaxation behavior of 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-heptanone, and 3-nonanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride has been studied in the microwave region at a number of temperatures. The relaxation data have been used to estimate the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of activation for the relaxation mechanism. The values of the relaxation time for those solutions for which there are available known data agree well with other determinations. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by intramolecular and overall molecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.
