Magnetization measurements of Nd2Fe172dGad (d50 – 2) show that the saturation magnetization, M s , decreases with an increase in Ga content from 40.4 mB /f.u. for Nd2Fe17 to 36.1 mB /f.u. for Nd2Fe15Ga2 at 4.2 K. Neutron diffraction data at 25 K show that the magnetic moment of Fe depends on its crystallographic site and decreases in the order Fe(6c).Fe(18f )>Fe(18h) >Fe(9d). The magnetic momen...

This paper reports on the ferromagnetic properties of aged Ti(1-x)CoxO(2-delta) anatase nanopowders with different Co contents (0.03 < or = x < or = 0.10). It is shown for the first time that aged Co:TiO2 anatase samples retain rather high values of magnetization (M), remanence (Mr) and coercivity (Hc) which provide strong evidence for a preserved long-range ferromagnetic order. Room temperatur...

The main focus of this paper is to determine whether the thermodynamic magnetization is a physically relevant estimator of the finite-size magnetization. This is done by comparing the asymptotic behaviors of these two quantities along parameter sequences converging to either a second-order point or the tricritical point in the mean-field BlumeCapel model. We show that the thermodynamic magnetiz...

In this work, we report on the synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles at room temperature using microemulsion template phase consisting of cyclohexane, water, CTAB as cationic surfactant and butanol as a cosurfactant. Surface modification have been carried out by using poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG). The structure,morphology, and magnetic properties of the products were characteriz...

The microstructure and magnetic properties of annealed CoCr thin films of various thicknesses, deposited on glass substrates, were examined. In general, little grain growth upon annealing was observed. Low-angle grain boundaries, present in as-sputtered films of thickness ~50nm, were absent in annealed films. This occurs simultaneously with a decrease in the measured electrical resistivity. A r...

We show that the scaling procedure, recently proposed for the evaluation of the temperature variation of the normalized upper critical field of type-II superconductors, may easily be modified in order to take into account a possible temperature dependence of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter κ. As an example we consider κ(T ) as it follows from the microscopic theory of superconductivity.

Compound [Ni(AEAPTS)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2 (AEAPTS = N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane), in which Ni(2+) and Fe(3+) ions are ferromagnetically coupled through cyano bridges, was prepared. Sol-gel processing of the AEAPTS derivative resulted in incorporation of the cyanometallate in silica. The obtained material is magnetically ordered below 22 K with an effective magnetic moment μeff of 4.4...
