Ferromagnetic Domain Patterns on Two-Phase Nickel-Cobalt Alloy and Pure Cobalt Crystals (Ferromagnetic Domain Patterns on Ni-Co Alloy and Pure Cobalt Crystals, II)

Experimental Study on the Magnetomechanical Characteristics of Ni-Mn-Ga Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloy Single Crystals

Magnetic shape memory properties of Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals were characterized by measurement of stress-induced martensite reorientation under constant magnetic fields. Also magnetic field-induced strain as a function of the applied magnetic field under different constant compressive stress levels has been investigated. All the experiments were performed at room temperature in which the sample...

Composition tunable cobalt–nickel and cobalt–iron alloy nanoparticles below 10 nm synthesized using acetonated cobalt carbonyl

A general organometallic route has been developed to synthesize Co(x)Ni(1-x) and Co(x)Fe(1-x) alloy nanoparticles with a fully tunable composition and a size of 4-10 nm with high yield. In contrast to previously reported synthesis methods using dicobalt octacarbonyl (Co(2)(CO)(8)), here the cobalt-cobalt bond in the carbonyl complex is first broken with anhydrous acetone. The acetonated compoun...

Effect of particulate cobalt, chromium and cobalt-chromium alloy on human osteoblast-like cells in vitro.

Cobalt-base ferromagnetic shape memory alloys

Single crystalline and polycrystalline CoxNiyGa100-(x+y), 41<xCo<62 and 19.3<xNi<32.7 [at%], Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (FMSMAs) have been produced in the range of the Heusler-type composition. Elasto-mechanical properties have been analyzed for the annealed and quenched states, respectively. The mechanical spectroscopy data show the occurrence of martensitic phase transformations with t...

Ferromagnetic resonance force microscopy on microscopic cobalt single layer films

We report mechanical detection of ferromagnetic resonance ~FMR! signals from microscopic Co single layer thin films using a magnetic resonance force microscope ~MRFM!. Variations in the magnetic anisotropy field and the inhomogeneity of were clearly observed in the FMR spectra of microscopic Co thin films 500 and 1000 Å thick and ;403200 mm in lateral extent. This demonstrates the important pot...
