Improvement of Heat Generation Ability in AC Magnetic Field and Magnetic Properties for Spinel Type MgFe_2O_4 Ferrite by Cu Substitution and Beads Milling

Mg_(1-X)Cu_XFe_2O_4 type spinel ferrite was prepared by solid reaction method in order to discuss the heat generation ability in AC magnetic field.The cubic type ferrite structure was obtained for X=0-0.6 samples calcined at 1200℃,and the mixture phase of cubic and tetragonal structures were obtained for X=0.7,0.8 samples from XRD result. The highest lattice parameter and highest hysteresis loss value were also shown at X=0.6 sample,the crystal distortion was increased with increase the Cu^(2+)substitution in cubic type ferrite structure.The sized nano Mg_(0.4)Cu_(0.6)Fe_2O_4 powder was prepared by physical milling method using beads milling.The highest heat generation in the AC magnetic field was obtained for the 6 h milled samples using 0.1mm beads.The Cu^(2+)substitution for MgFe_2O_4 ferrite and the beads milling were very effective for the improvement of their heat generation ability in AC magnetic field.

Heat Generation Properties in AC Magnetic Field for Ferrimagnetic R_3Fe_5O_(12) (R=Y,Sm,Gd,Dy,Ho,Er) Powder Materials Synthesized by Reverse Coprecipitation Method

R_3Fe_5O_(12)(R=Y,Sm,Gd,Dy,Ho,Er)powders synthesized by a reverse coprecipitation method were investigated for their heat generation ability in an AC magnetic field.The heat generation ability in an AC magnetic field was strongly influenced by the particle size,i.e.,calcination temperature of the precursor.The highest heat generation ability was obtained for the Y_3Fe_5O_(12)sample calcined at 1100 ℃.The heat generation ability(W.g^(-1))can be estimated using a 3.6× 10^(-4)fH^3(frequency(flkHz)and the magnetic field(H/kA·m^(-1)))for the Y_3Fe_5O_(12)sample calcined at 1100 ℃.

Morphology and distribution of Al_3Fe phase in hypereutectic Al-Fe alloy solidified under magnetic field

In this study, the (low) DC and AC magnetic fields and the high magnetic field were applied separately during the solidification process of Al-2.89%Fe alloy. The influences of these magnetic fields on the morphology and distribution of Al3Fe phase in Al-2.89%Fe alloy were investigated. The microstructure and macrostructure of the samples were observed using an optical microscope. The results show that the majority of the primary Al3Fe phase particles in the hypereutectic Al-2.89%Fe alloy is gathered at the bottom of the sample under DC and AC magnetic fields or without magnetic field. The primary Al3Fe phase becomes coarse when the alloy solidifies under DC magnetic field, while it are refined and accumulated towards the center of the sample under the AC magnetic field. When the high magnetic field of 12 T is applied, the primary Al3Fe phase distributes throughout the sample homogeneously because the magnetic force acting on the primary Al3Fe phase balances with the gravity force; and the long axis of the Al3Fe phase aligns perpendicularly to the magnetic field direction. Also, the mechanism of the effect of magnetic fields is discussed.

Audio-frequency heating of particulate magnetic systems

This paper presents theoretical and experimental studies on the magnetodynamics and energy dissipation in suspensions of small ferromagnetic particles with magnetic hysteresis and mechanical mobility in an AC magnetic field. Energy absorption by particles suspended in a solid, liquid or gas environment and subjected to high frequency magnetic fields is of great interest for cancer treatment by hyperthermia, chemical technology, biotechnology and smart materials science. Sub-micron needle-like γ-Fe2O3 particles dispersed in liquid were subjected in this study to a 430 Hz magnetic field with an intensity of up to 10^5 A/m. Dynamic magnetization loops were measured in parallel to the energy dissipated in the samples. Combined magnetomechanical dynamics of particle dispersions was simulated by using a chain-of-spheres model allowing for incoherent magnetic field reversal. In liquid dispersions, within the kilohertz frequency range, the mechanical mobility of particles does not interfere with their hysteretic magnetic reversal that makes heat release comparable to that observed with solids; for instance, in the present study using γ-Fe2O3 particles in liquid subjected to 10^4 Hz field exhibited heat release rates from 250 up to 600W oer 1 cm^3 of the dry oarticle content.
