A surprising magnetic behavior of 3d transition-metal monolayers on the (100) tungsten surface has been reported recently [Ferriani et al., 2005]. The tendency to ferromagnetic (V, Cr, Mn) vs. antiferromagnetic (Fe, Co) order in these layers differs significantly from the situation on many other substrates, e.g. on W(110), Cu(100) or Pd(100). The aim of our work is to explore further the proper...

Spores of Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus subtilis were found to exhibit intrinsic paramagnetic properties as a result of the accumulation of manganese ions. All three Bacillus species displayed strong yet distinctive magnetic properties arising from differences in manganese quantity and valency. Manganese ions were found to accumulate both within the spore core as well as be...

In this article, the nonlocal biaxial buckling load and bending analysis of polymeric piezoelectric nanoplate reinforced by carbon nanotube (CNT) considering the surface stress effect is presented. This plate is subjected to electro-magneto-mechanical loadings. Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach is used for defining the piezoelectric nanoplate material properties. Navier’s type solution is employed t...

An optical 2-beam surface stress measurement and magneto-optical Kerr-effect has been combined with a liquid helium cooled cryostat. Sample temperatures down to 30 K and magnetic fields up to 0.7 T are achieved under UHV conditions. Low temperatures are exploited to obtain the first experimental data on the surface stress change induced by the adsorption of the noble gas Xe on Pt(111). High mag...

Virial theorem is important for understanding stellar structures. It produces an interesting connection between magnetic and gravitational energies. Using the general form of the virial theorem including the magnetic field (toroidal magnetic field), we may explain the solar dynamo model in relation to variations of the magnetic and gravitational energies. We emphasize the role of the gravitatio...

Observations of rapidly rotating solar-like stars show a significant mixture of opposite-polarity magnetic fields within their polar regions. To explain these observations, models describing the surface transport of magnetic flux demand the presence of fast meridional flows. Here, we link sub-surface and surface magnetic flux transport simulations to investigate (i) the impact of meridional cir...

Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) is a micromachining process that uses magnetic field and magnetic abrasive particles to conduct the mechanism of material removal in micro-nanometer scales. In this paper, by an experimental method and statistical analysis, the effects of parameters like working gap, work-piece rotational speed and material removal mechanism (injection of abrasive slurry of Al<...

This paper is concerned with the surface and small scale effects on transverse vibration of a viscoelastic single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. The SLGS is surrounded by an elastic medium which is simulated as Visco-Pasternak foundation. In order to investigate the small scale effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory is employed due to its simplicity and ...
