Recent strides in micro- and nanofabrication technology have enabled researchers to design and develop new micro- and nanorobots for biomedicine and environmental monitoring. Due to its non-invasive remote actuation and convenient navigation abilities, magnetic propulsion has been widely used in micro- and nanoscale robotic systems. In this article, a highly efficient Janus microdimer swimmer propelled by a rotating uniform magnetic field was investigated experimentally and numerically. The velocity of the Janus microdimer swimmer can be modulated by adjusting the magnetic field frequency with a maximum speed of 133 μm·s−1 (≈13.3 body length s−1) at the frequency of 32 Hz. Fast and accurate navigation of these Janus microdimer swimmers in complex environments and near obstacles was also demonstrated. This efficient propulsion behavior of the new Janus microdimer swimmer holds considerable promise for diverse future practical applications ranging from nanoscale manipulation and assembly to nanomedicine.

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) aims at reconstructing the unknown neuroelectric activity in the brain from non-invasive measurements of the magnetic field induced by neural sources. The solution of this ill-posed, ill-conditioned inverse problem is usually dealt with using regularization techniques that are often time-consuming, and computationally and memory storage demanding. In this paper we analyze how a slimmer procedure, random sampling, affects the estimation of the brain activity generated by both synthetic and real sources.

The transverse runaway (TR) is a phenomenon whereby for a certain combination of energy and momentum scattering mechanisms of hot electrons, and for a certain threshold of the applied electric field, the internal (total) field tends to infinity. In this work, the effect of the magnetic field on the transverse runaway threshold is considered. It is shown that with increasing magnetic field, the applied critical electric fields relevant to TR decrease. The obtained results are important for practical applications of the TR effect as well as for the investigation of possible nonlinear oscillations that may occur near the TR threshold.

The experiments are conducted on the magnetic fluid flow induced by the multi-pole rotating magnetic field in a circular cylinder. The numbers of poles are two, four, six, eight and twelve. The applied electric current and frequency are 2∼6 A and 20∼60 Hz, respectively. The peak velocity of the flow increases with the increase in the strength and the phase velocity of the magnetic field. As the increase in the number of poles, the flow shifts to the outer periphery.

Abstract The aim of the study was to present an experimental investigation of the influence of the RMF on mixing time. The obtained results suggest that the homogenization time for the tested experimental set-up depending on the frequency of the RMF can be worked out by means of the relationship between the dimensionless mixing time number and the Reynolds number. It was shown that the magnetic field can be applied successfully to mixing liquids.

ABSTRACTIn this paper we review the phase diagram and derive the entropy change for spin reorientation transitions by considering first order magnetization process theory with temperature dependent magneto-crystalline anisotropy constants. We derive the magnetic field-induced entropy change Δs for a transition between easy axis and easy plane, showing that for alternating magnetic field, Δs has a change of sign at the reorientation temperature, while for rotating magnetic field its sign is definite. We apply the model to CoZn W-type barium ferrite.

We have studied wave propagation in a cold plasma, in the presence of a spatially rotating magnetic field of constant magnitude. New features introduced by this variation include streaming velocities and a plasma current in equilibrium and density fluctuations. We present only the case of wave propagation along the axis of rotation of the magnetic field. A set of ordinary differential equations for the electric field components is obtained, which may be combined into a single fourth-order ordinary differential equation with periodic coefficients. Solutions are obtained in closed form and their nature is determined in terms of the physical parameters of the System, magnetic field strength, number density and wave frequency.

The dynamics of magnetic nanoparticle in a viscous liquid in rotating magnetic field has been studied by means of numerical simulation and analytical calculations. In the magneto- dynamics approximation three different modes of motion of the unit magnetization vector and particle director are distinguished depending on the rotating magnetic field frequency and amplitude. The specific absorption rate of a dilute assembly of superparamagnetic nanoparticles in rotating magnetic field is calculated by solving the Landau – Lifshitz stochastic equation for unit magnetization vector and stochastic equation for particle director. At elevated frequencies an optimal range of particle diameters is found where the specific absorption rate of an assembly in rotating magnetic field has a maximum. It is shown that for magnetic hyperthermia in rotating magnetic field it is preferable to use rotating magnetic fields of moderate amplitude, H 0 = 100 Oe, in the frequency range 400-600 kHz.

A Magnetic flux quantum (fluxon) penetrating a superconductor plays an important role in both fundamental and practical applications of superconductivity. However, the fluxon has evaded direct observation, because it is shaped like an extremely thin filament in addition to its small flux value, h/2e (=2x10−15Wb). Several methods have already been developed to indirectly observe each filament of flux. One method is Bitter's [1], in which magnetic powder is sprinkled on the superconductor surface. The powder accumulates at the fluxons, and the image is observed by electron microscopy.We have observed the magnetic field of a single fluxon using holographic electron interferometry [2], in which the phase distribution of an electron beam can be measured to a precision of 2Π/50. The schematic diagram of the experiment is shown in Fig. 1. A weak magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to a superconducting lead film. Fiuxons penetrating the film are observed as phase contour fringes through the electron holography process. The sample is prepared by evaporating lead on one side of a thin tungsten wire, which is shown in Fig. 2.

In this paper, we consider a clockwise rotating magnetic field around the [Formula: see text]-axis and charge carriers which impinge normally to the [Formula: see text] plane. We obtained analytically the spectrum of the momentum operator [Formula: see text] and found the existence of a band structure from which the movement of these charge carries is filtered according to the spatial period of the magnetic field or its intensity. Also we exhibit the existence of three band gaps (one total or primary and two partials) whose width depends on the system parameters.

Free surface motion of a liquid metal submerged in an alternating magnetic field has been examined. A copper vessel filled with a liquid gallium is set in a coil for the imposition of the alternating magnetic field. The alternating magnetic field penetrates into a liquid gallium only from an upper free surface because thickness of the copper vessel is larger than the electromagnetic skin layer of copper. Time variation of displacement of the standing wave loop excited on the free surface is detected by a laser level sensor. The standing wave was suppressed not only by intensification of the magnetic field magnitude but also increase of the magnetic field frequency.
