Magnetic shape memory properties of Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals were characterized by measurement of stress-induced martensite reorientation under constant magnetic fields. Also magnetic field-induced strain as a function of the applied magnetic field under different constant compressive stress levels has been investigated. All the experiments were performed at room temperature in which the sample...

Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique developed to observe and image magnetic fields locally. This method is based on application of the Hall Effect, supplied by a micro hall probe attached to the end of cantilever as a sensor.  SHPM provides direct quantitative information on the magnetic state of a material and can also image magnetic induction under a...

background : magnetic resonance imaging of the breast is becoming a useful adjunct to mammography and sonography for the detection of breast lesions. however, it is not yet accepted as a routine examination for all breast cancer patients due to the lack of data regarding whether breast magnetic resonance imaging impacts recurrence or survival. this trial examines the use of magnetic resonance i...

in this research, the effect of the first order magnetic field on the ground-state of a centered hydrogenic donor impurity in a gaas/alas spherical quantum dot has been calculated. the perturbation method has been used within the framework of effective mass approximation for these calculations. overall, the analysis shows that a proper choice of quantum dot radius and magnetic field can signifi...

The effect of magnetic shaking on both the transverse and axial shielding factors ~TSF and ASF! is investigated using open-ended cylindrical shields made of Metglas 2705M amorphous ribbons. Shaking enhancement is found to be strongly dependent on the orientation of the magnetic anisotropy of the shielding material, that is, the anisotropy axis should be aligned along the corresponding shielding...

based on the crystal and magnetic structural properties of some gd intermetallic compounds, it is shown that with increasing conduction electron concentration, gd experiences electronic and magnetic instability, and that these behaviors point to the appearance of kondo lattice. we suggest that the conduction electrons have gained local character. it is shown that kondo effect should be observed...
