Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) continue to be an attractive research field because of their unique and intriguing properties and potential applications in high-density data storage technologies and molecular spintronics. The anisotropic barrier (U) of an SMM is derived from a combination of an appreciable spin ground state (S) and uniaxial Ising-like magneto-anisotropy (D). The magnet-like beha...

the effects of high temperature homogenization and low temperature annealing treatments on the microstructure and magnetic properties of sintered magnets of an nd17fe76.5b5cu1.5 type alloy have been investigated. the microstructure of the as-cast alloy, consisted of three phases including a nd2fe14b1 (2:14:1- type) matrix phase cu-containing nd-rich phase and free α-iron. the as-sintered magnet...

Single-molecule magnets are perspective materials for molecular spintronic applications. Predictions of magnetic coupling in these systems have posed a long standing problem, as calculations of this kind require a balanced description of static and dynamic electron correlation. The large size of these systems limits the choice of theoretical methods used. Two methods feasible to predict the exc...

observed by Meiklejohn and Bean1 (cobalt particles in shells of antiferromagnetic cobalt oxide); both are inhomogeneous and the coexistence of a ferromagnetic and an antiferromagnetic phase gives rise to large exchange bias. This demonstration of tuning the composition of certain Heusler alloys to attain exceptionally high exchange bias fields indicates a route for designing rare-earth-free har...

In the 27 km circumference Large Hadron Collider, the temperature of more than 1600 main superconducting magnets is stabilized below 2 K by the Superfluid Helium Cryogenic Circuit. The key component of the circuit’s Standard Cell is an over 100 m long bayonet heat exchanger with two phase flow of superfluid helium, He II, that is integrated into the magnets submerged in a static bath of He II. ...

Work has been conducted to develop REBCO (Rare-Earth Barium Copper Oxide) magnets for Maglev. REBCO is one of several high temperature superconducting materials and has a high current density at high temperatures and in high magnetic field environments. The REBCO coated conductor will make it possible to raise the operating temperature of on-board magnets without increasing the coil weight. Sin...

Chiral magnets are a promising route towards dense magnetic storage technology due to their inherent nano-scale dimensions and energy efficient properties. Engineering chiral magnets requires atomic-level control of the magnetic exchange interactions, including the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, which defines a rotational sense for the magnetization of two coupled magnetic moments. Here we ...

Bulk SmCo5/a-Fe nanocomposite magnets have been prepared using a Joule-heating compaction technique. Nearly fully dense bulk magnets are obtained by compacting the milled powders under a pressure of 2 GPa at temperatures above 400 C. Structural analysis shows that the grain size of both the SmCo5 and the a-Fe phases is in the range of 10 to 15 nm when the compaction temperature is lower than 50...

Permanent magnet (PM) machines with tooth coil windings are designed and analyzed. We study how the slot wedge material affects the behavior of PM losses when using tooth coil windings, which generate a significant air gap flux density harmonic content. The losses and cogging torques of a surface permanent magnet rotor and an interior permanent magnet rotor are compared in no-load and load situ...
