The morphologies of nickel and copper deposits obtained without applied magnetic fields, and with both parallel and perpendicular applied magnetic fields were examined by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. Changes in the morphologies of the metals caused by the effect of the magnetic fields are explained by the concept of "effective overpotential". The morphologies of the nickel and copper deposits obtained under parallel oriented magnetic fields were similar to those obtained at some lower cathodic potentials without an applied magnetic field. The magnetic field with a perpendicular orientation to the electrode surface increased the dispersity of the nickel and copper deposits. Nickel and copper deposits obtained under this orientation of the magnetic field were similar to those obtained at some higher cathodic potentials without an applied magnetic field. .

Iron deposits obtained without and with a perpendicularly oriented magnetic field were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the iron deposit obtained under a perpendicularly oriented magnetic field had a more highly branched structure than the iron deposit obtained without an applied magnetic field. Comparing the morphologies of these deposits with those of copper deposits, the branching of the iron deposits can essentially be ascribed to the effect of the magnetic field on the magnetic properties of iron. .

Nickel deposits obtained from a Watt solution both without and with a perpendicularly oriented magnetic field were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The nickel deposit obtained without an imposed magnetic field was very rough, with a clearly visible clustered structure. The nickel deposit obtained under a perpendicularly oriented magnetic field has a very developed dendritic structure, which can be denoted as arboreous ? bead dendritic structure. The ob- served difference is essentially ascribed to the effect of a magnetic field on the magnetic properties of nickel.

In this paper studies on urethane magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) microstructure in respect to their magnetic and mechanical properties are reported. MREs were obtained from a mixture of polyurethane gel and carbonyl-iron particles cured in a magnetic field of 100 and 300 mT. The amount of particles was varied from 1.5 to 33 vol. %. Samples with different arrangements of particles were produced. Effect of the amount of ferromagnetic particles and their arrangement on microstructure and properties in relation to the external magnetic field was investigated. The microstructure was studied using scanning electron microscopy. Magnetic properties were measured using vibrating sample magnetometer. Rheological and mechanical properties under compression were also examined.

This paper studies iron-rich phase transformation law and mechanism of Al-20Si-10Fe alloy under the effect of plate magnetic field. with optical microscopy(OM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectrum(EDS)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results show that plate magnetic field is directly involved in the phase transformation of iron-rich phase, making iron-rich phase change from lath-shaped β-Al5FeSi to herringbone-shapedα-Al8SiFe2. The enforcement of plate magnetic field during the phase-transforming process of β-Al5FeSi→α-Al8Si Fe2makes block α-Al1.3Si7.8Fe2.1phase yield out. And precipitation of α-Al1.3Si7.8Fe2.1phase is affected by the transforming process ofβ-Al5SiFe phase→α-Al8Si Fe2phase.

The morphologies of copper dendritic forms obtained in both potentiostatic and galvanostatic regimes of electrolysis with various amounts of the electricity were analyzed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. Irrespective of amount of passed electricity, 3D (three dimensional) pine-like dendrites with sharp tips were formed in the potentiostatic regime of electrolysis. On the other hand, the amount of passed electricity had a strong effect on the shape of the 3D pine-like dendrites formed in the galvanostatic regime of electrolysis. Dendrites with sharp tips were formed with smaller amount of passed electricity, while dendrites with globular tips were formed with larger amounts. The change in the shape of the galvanostatically synthesized 3D pine-like dendrites was explained by comparison with copper deposits obtained potentiostatically at overpotentials that corresponded to the final overpotentials during galvanostatic regime of electrolysis for the analyzed amounts of electricity. Based on the similarity of the obtained morphologies at the macro level, it was concluded that the overpotential plays a crucial role in the formation of the electrolytically synthesized dendrites and that the controlled conditions of electrolysis could represent a suitable way for a synthesis of spherical Cu particles by electrolysis.

AbstractOff-eutectic compositions of Bi-Mn were directionally solidified in applied transverse magnetic fields up to 3 kG to determine the effects odn thermal and solutal convection. For Bi-rich compositions, the magnetic field appeared to increase mixing as determined from thermal, morphological, chemical and magnetic analyses. For Mn-rich compositions morphological and chemical analyses suggest some reduction in mixing due to application of the magnetic field. Conductivity gradients in the melt are suggested as a possible mechanism for the observed results.

Abstract Titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2) were produced by pulsed Nd:YAG laser ablation in water under the effect of an external magnetic field. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy Dispersive x-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the TiO2 nanoparticles. The XRD analysis of titanium oxide nanoparticles revealed that the synthesized nanoparticles were polycrystalline with mixed of tetragonal anatase and rutile TiO2. Scanning electron microscope shows the formation of spherical nanoparticles and the particles agglomeration decreases and the particle size from increases from 25nm to 35nm when the magnetic field applied. The optical energy gap of TiO2 nanoparticles decreased from 4.6eV to 3.4eV after using the magnetic field during the ablation. Raman studies show the existence of five vibration modes belong to TiO2. The antibacterial effect assay revealed a largest inhibition zone in S. aureus and E. coli, with a more potent effect for TiO2 NPs prepared by magnetic field when compared with that prepared without presence of magnetic field.
