Highly Al3þ ion doped nanocrystalline SrFe12 xAlxO19 (0rxr12), were prepared by the auto-combustion method and heat treated in air at 1100 1C for 12 h. The phase identification of the powders performed using x-ray diffraction show presence of high-purity hexaferrite phase and absence of any secondary phases. With Al3þ doping, the lattice parameters decrease due to smaller Al3þ ion replacing Fe3...

Cobalt nanowires with controlled diameters have been synthesized using electrochemical deposition in etched ion-track polycarbonate membranes. Structural characterization of these nanowires with diameter 70, 90, 120 nm and length 30 μm was performed by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The as-prepared wires show uni...

the effect of length variation on the magnetic properties of nife alloy nanowires electrodeposited into the alumina template was investigated. the diameter (45±2.5 nm) and length (~ 1.9, 7.12, 8.3, 9.5 and 13.3 µm) of the nanowires were estimated from scanning electron microscopy images. energy dispersive spectroscopy results showed ni3fe7 composition of the alloy nanowires.  the magnetic prope...

fe3o4 nanostructures were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction. the effect of various surfactants such as cationic and anionic on the morphology of the product was investigated. magnetic nanoparticles were added to poly styrene (ps) for preparation of magnetic nanocomposite. nanostructures were then characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fo...

In this paper it is shown that, when there is lack of coercivity with respect to some partial derivatives on the underlying field u , then the relaxation of the functional

In this paper we study a Dirichlet problem for an elliptic equation with degenerate coercivity and a singular lower order term with natural growth with respect to the gradient. The model problem is

We present our simulated initial magnetization curves for nanostructured permanent magnets based on a simple hybrid model. The model assumes that the reversible change in the magnetization curves obeys the Stoner–Wohlfarth (SW) model while the irreversible part can be attributed to the motion of the transition region (TR), which is a domainwall-like magnetic moment distribution formed in the gr...

Magnetization switching between parallel and antiparallel alignments of two magnetic layers in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) is conventionally controlled either by an external magnetic field or by an electric current. Here, we report that the manipulation of magnetization switching and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) in perpendicularly magnetized CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB MTJs can be achieved by both t...
