Spin-valves had empowered the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) devices to have memory. The insertion of thin antiferromagnetic (AFM) films allowed two stable magnetic field-induced switchable resistance states persisting in remanence. In this letter, we show that, without the deliberate introduction of such an AFM layer, this functionality is transferred to multiferroic tunnel junctions (MFTJ) all...

Hot deformation of Nd-Fe-B magnets has been studied for more than three decades. With a good combination of forming processing parameters, the remanence and (BH)max values of Nd-Fe-B magnets could be greatly increased due to the formation of anisotropic microstructures during hot deformation. In this work, a methodology is proposed for visualizing the material flow in hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B magne...

The effect of Zr-substitution on the physical and magnetic properties of Li0.3+0.5xZn0.4ZrxFe2.3-1.5xO4 ferrites (x=0.0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.05), prepared by the standard ceramic method, has been studied. It is found that the saturation magnetization increases up to x=0.02 and then it decreases. On the other hand, the initial permeability increased while the Curie temperature remained almost...

Abstract. The magnetic properties of magnetite nanoparticles and magnetite-thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) nanocomposites was prepared by melt-blending method has been studied using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The saturation magnetization (MS), remanence (MR), squareness (MR/MS), coercivity (HC) and exchange-bias field (Heb) for magnetite nanoparticles and its nanocomposites increa...

Abstract We use generating functional analysis to study minority-game-type market models with generalized strategy valuation updates that control the psychology of agents’ actions. The agents’ choice between trend-following and contrarian trading, and their vigor in each, depends on the overall state of the market. Even in ‘fake history’ models, the theory now involves an effective overall bid ...
