In this paper we present the development of a magnetic moment reference material for low moment magnetic samples. We first conducted an inter-laboratory comparison to determine the most useful sample dimensions and magnetic properties for common instruments such as vibrating sample magnetometers (VSM), SQUIDs, and alternating gradient field magnetometers. The samples were fabricated and then me...

In the present work the results of the known investigation of the influence of combined static (40 microT) and alternating (amplitude of 40 nT) parallel magnetic fields on the current through the aqueous solution of glutamic acid, were successfully replicated. Fourteen experiments were carried out by the application of the combined magnetic fields to the solution placed into a Plexiglas reactio...

We report a technique to realize reconfigurable colloidal crystals by using the controlled motion of particle defects above an externally modulated magnetic substrate. The transport of particles is induced by applying a uniform rotating magnetic field to a ferrite garnet film characterized by a periodic lattice of magnetic bubbles. For filling factor larger than one colloid per bubble domain, t...

Extensively investigated and mutagenized Cow Pea Mosaic Virus (CPMV) has been demonstrated in a variety of nanoassemblies. Iron Oxide (IO) has the potential to surpass limits of detection in bioimaging applications. Particularly g-Fe2O3 (maghemite) is considered as one of the most desirable materials for technological and biomedical applications due to its inherent biocompatible nature. Additio...

An extremely low frequency alternating magnetic field (ELF-AMF) was demonstrated to be able to effectively trigger drug release from carefully engineered magnetic ZIF-90 nanoparticles. The embedded Fe3O4 nanoparticles or alternatively Gd2O3 nanoparticles serve as effective MRI tracers for potential visualization of drug delivery to ensure drug delivery accuracy.

The magnetic vortex core in a nanodot can be switched by an alternating transversal magnetic field. We propose a simple collective coordinate model, which describes the comprehensive vortex core dynamics, including the resonant behavior, weakly nonlinear regimes, and reversal dynamics. A chaotic dynamics of the vortex polarity is predicted. All analytical results are confirmed by micromagnetic ...

BACKGROUND Biologics magnetics nanoparticles, magnetosomes, attract attention because of their magnetic characteristics and potential applications. The aim of the present study was to develop and characterize novel magnetosomes, which were extracted from magnetotactic bacteria, purified to produce apyrogen magnetosome minerals, and then coated with Chitosan, Neridronate, or Polyethyleneimine. I...

A theoretical analysis was carried out to investigate the characteristics of plasma arc injected transverse to a transverse-alternating magnetic field. Two mathematical models were developed to describe both the oscillating amplitude of the plasma arc root and the heat flux density distribution of plasma arc on the workpiece surface. The characteristic of plasma arc under the external transvers...
