The goal of this paper is to present a semi analytical method which makes it possible the calculation of the dynamic iron losses in a three phase induction machine taking the slotting effect into account. The particularity of this method is that it allows the distinction of the stator and the rotor slot openings contribution in the dynamic and, consequently, in the total iron losses. This analy...

Acid mine drainage(AMD) contains high concentrations of heavy metals and has become a serious environmental problem. A pipes inserted microalgae reactor(PIMR) was constructed to cultivate microalgae and purify AMD. The effects of metal concentration, pH and sulfate after pretreatment on the removal of iron and microalgae growth were investigated. Batch studies showed that PIMR and microalgae ca...

Evidence for the significant part played by magnetism in the picture of interatomic interactions in iron and iron-based alloys has recently emerged from density functional studies of the structure of radiation induced defects. In this paper we examine the range of validity of the currently available model interatomic potentials for magnetic iron, investigate the effect of electron–electron inte...

First principles calculations of the electronic structure of trigonal iron were performed using density function theory. The results are used to predict lattice spacings, magnetic moments and elastic properties; these are in good agreement with experiment for both the bcc and fcc structures. We find however, that in extracting these quantities great care must be taken in interpreting numerical ...

By applying density functional theory calculations to iron chalcogenides, we find that magnetic order in Fe1+yTe and magnetic instability at (π, π) in KyFe2Se2 are controlled by interstitial and interlayer cations, respectively. While in Fe1+yTe, magnetic phase transitions occur among collinear, exotic bicollinear and plaquette-ordered antiferronmagnetic states when the height of interstitial i...

Our aim in this study was to create a noninvasive and practical method for evaluating metabolic information on the liver (iron content and lipid infiltration) and spine (bone mineral density and marrow fat degeneration) using double gradient-echo with and without the spectral fat suppression technique (double-GRE-FS). We arranged phantoms made of various concentrations of superparamagnetic iron...

(57)Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy was applied to investigate the superconductor parent compound Fe(1+x)Te for x = 0.06, 0.10, 0.14, 0.18 within the temperature range 4.2-300 K. A spin density wave (SDW) within the iron atoms occupying regular tetrahedral sites was observed, with the square root of the mean square amplitude at 4.2 K varying between 9.7 and 15.7 T with increasing x. Three additional ...

High-density magnetic storage or quantum computing could be achieved using small magnets with large magnetic anisotropy, a requirement that rare-earth iron alloys fulfill in bulk. This compelling property demands a thorough investigation of the magnetism in low dimensional rare-earth iron structures. Here, we report on the magnetic coupling between 4f single atoms and a 3d magnetic nanoisland. ...

Iron overload has been implicated in decreased bone mineral density. However, the effect of iron overload on osteoblast lineage cells remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine osteoblast differentiation, function, and apoptosis in iron-loaded cells from fetal rat calvaria. Cells were incubated with media supplemented with 0-10 microM ferrous sulfate (FeSO(4)) during di...
