Fe b 19 99 Phase diagram of magnetic polymers

We consider polymers made of magnetic monomers (Ising or Heisenberg-like) in a good solvent. These polymers are modeled as self-avoiding walks on a cubic lattice, and the ferromagnetic interaction between the spins carried by the monomers is short-ranged in space. At low temperature, these polymers undergo a magnetic induced first order collapse transition, that we study at the mean field level...

KINETICS OF THE FORMATION OF AMORPHOUS Nd-Fe-B PARTICLES BY CHEMICAL REDUCTION

Fine and ultrafine Nd-Fe-B particles have been obtained from metallic cation reduction by borohydride ions both in water and microemulsions. In this way amorphous particles of different sizes ranging from 4-50 nm to 100-400 nm can be obtained. In this work we will report on the kinetics of the growth of the particles studied by stopped-flow with UV-Vis detection. Quantum effects are suggested f...

Amorphous Phase Mediated Crystallization: Fundamentals of Biomineralization

Many biomineralization systems start from transient amorphous precursor phases, but the exact crystallization pathways and mechanisms remain largely unknown. The study of a well-defined biomimetic crystallization system is key for elucidating the possible mechanisms of biomineralization and monitoring the detailed crystallization pathways. In this review, we focus on amorphous phase mediated cr...

Sonochemical preparation of nanosized amorphous Fe-Ni alloys

Nanosized amorphous alloy powders of Fe20Ni80 , Fe40Ni60 , and Fe60Ni40 were prepared by sonochemical decomposition of solutions of volatile organic precursors, Fe~CO!5 and Ni~CO!4 in decalin, under an argon pressure of 100 to 150 kPa at 273 K. Magnetic susceptibility of Fe40Ni60 and Fe60Ni40 indicates blocking temperatures of 35 K and a magnetic particle size of about 6 nm. Thermogravimetric m...
