Magnetostatic Coupling in CoFe204/Pb（Zr0.53Ti0.47）O3 Magnetoelectric Composite Thin Films of 2-2 Type Structure

CoFe204/Pb（Zr0.53Ti0.47）O3 （CFO/PZT） magnetoelectric composite thin films of 2-2 type structure had been prepared onto Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by a sol-gel process and spin coat- ing technique. The structure of the prepared thin film is substrate/PZT/CFO/PZT/CFO. Two CFO ferromagnetic layers are separated from each other by a thin PZT layer. The upper CFO layer is magnetostatically coupled with the lower CFO layer. Subsequent scan- ning electron microscopy （SEM） investigations show that the prepared thin films exhibit good morphologies and compact structure, and cross-sectional micrographs clearly display a multilayered nanostructure of multilayered thin films. The composite thin films exhibit both good magnetic and ferroelectric properties. The spacing between ferromagnetic layers can be varied by adjusting the thickness of intermediate PZT layer. It is found that the strength of magnetostatic coupling has a great impact on magnetoelectric properties of composite thin films, i.e., the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of composite thin film tends to increase with the decreasing of pacing between two neighboring CFO ferromagnetic layers as a result of magnetostatic coupling effect.

Analysis on Existence of Magnetostatic Solitons in Ferromagnetic Film under the Influence of Carriers

This article studies the characteristics of magnetostatic surface waves (MSSW) in a ferromagnetic film attached to a semiconductor cladding with carriers and shows the existence of magnetostatic solitons in the film. The results indicate that under the influence of drifting carriers, and within some frequency ranges, MSSW can develop into magnetostatic solitons, with the group velocity and phase velocity opposite under some conditions, and the velocity magnitude is related to the carrier density.

Mode Conversion and Diffraction of Guided Optical Waves from Magnetostatic Waves under Inclined Bias Magnetic Field

The noncollinear interaction of guided optical waves with magnetostatic waves under inclined bias magnetic field is theoretically studied in detail. Similar approach can also be applied to the collinear interaction. Calculation results indicate that the diffraction efficiency (DE) in magnitude is equal to the mode-conversion efficiency (MCE) under vertical bias magnetic field, but they differ greatly under inclined bias magnetic field. By comparison to the case of vertical magnetization, the DE or the MCE can be greatly increased under inclined magnetic field. The characteristic of the DE curves obtained is basically in agreement with the experimental result.

Micromagnetic simulation on the dynamic susceptibility spectra of cobalt nanowires arrays:the effect of magnetostatic interaction

Micromagnetic simulations have been performed to obtain the dynamic susceptibility spectra of 4×4 cobalt nanowire arrays with different spatial configurations and geometries. The susceptibility spectra of isolated wires have also been simulated for comparison purposes. It is found that the susceptibility spectrum of nanowire array bears a lot of similarities to that of an isolated wire, such as the occurrences of the edge mode and the bulk resonance mode. The simulation results also reveal that the susceptibility spectrum of nanowire array behaves like that of single isolated wire as the interwire distance grows to an extent, which is believed due to the decrease of magnetostatic interaction among nanowires, and can be further confirmed by the static magnetic hysteresis simulations. In comparison with single nanowire, magnetostatic interaction may increase or decrease the resonance frequencies of nanowire arrays assuming a certain interwire distance when the length of array increases. Our simulation results are also analysed by employing the Kittel equation and recent theoretical studies.

Implementing single-scale wavelet transform processor with magnetostatic surface wave device

When the envelope of the conducting strips for the input transducer of magnetostatic surface wave(MSSW) device is designed according to the wavelet-function envelope,the impulse-response function of the input transducer for MSSW device is equal to the wavelet function,so that single-scale wavelet-transform processor of MSSW type is fabricated.First,according to the envelope function of the wavelet,the length function of the conducting strips is defined,then,the lengths of the conducting strips can be calculated from the length function of the conducting strips,finally,the input transducer can be designed according to the lengths and widths for the conducting strips.The compensation method of the insertion loss for single-scale wavelet trans-form processor of MSSW type is also given in the paper.When the output end of single-scale wavelet transform processor of MSSW type is connected to the amplifier,its insertion loss can be compensated.

MAGNETOSTATIC EQUILIBRIUM OF ISOLATED MAGNETIC FLUX TUBE

In the present paper, an isolated axisymmetric flux tube is discussed for slender magnetic configuration. The magnetostatic model and the stratified atmospheric model are applied, respectively, to the regions inside and outside the flux tube. The problem is described mathematically by the nonlinear partial differential equations under the nonlinear boundary condition at the free boundary of flux tube. According to the approximation of a small expansive angle, the solutions of series expressions are obtained formally. The model of polytropic plasma is discussed in detail especially. The results show the distributions of thermodynamic quantities and magnetic field extending from the high β region to the low β region, and the flux tube may be either divergent or convergent according to the pressure difference outside and inside the flux tube.

Magnetically tunable Airy-like beam of magnetostatic surface spin waves

In this Letter,we report an Airy-like beam of magnetostatic surface spin wave(Ai BMSSW)supported on the ferromagnetic film,which is transferred from the optical field.The propagation properties of Ai BMSSW were verified with micromagnetic simulation.From simulation results,the typical parabolic trajectory of the Airy-type beam was observed with an exciting source encoding 3/2 phase pattern.The simulation results coincide well with design parameters.Furthermore,simulated results showed that the trajectories of the Ai BMSSW could be tuned readily with varied external magnetic fields.This work can extend the application scenario of spin waves.

Abnormal magnetic behavior of prussian blue analogs modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes

This work examines the origin of the abnormal magnetism exhibited by Cu Mn Fe-PBAs modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs).The system of Cu Mn Fe-PBAs@MWCNTs coexists with both large and small clusters.Cu Mn Fe-PBAs clusters have an average particle size of 28 nm,and some of the smaller particles are adsorbed on the surface of MWCNTs.Surprisingly,the magnitude of magnetization increases linearly with decreasing temperature.When above the Curie temperature,the magnitude of magnetization is significantly greater than that of PBAs without being modified.This phenomenon can be attributed to magnetostatic interactions between ultra-fine magnetic nanoparticles adsorbed on the surface of MWCNTs.Using the Monte Carlo method,we simulated the magnetostatic interaction of cylindrical adsorbed particles,and the simulation results are almost identical to those observed experimentally.The results indicate that 0.089Cu Mn Fe-PBAs clusters per 1 nm^(2)can be adsorbed onto the surface area of MWCNTs.We demonstrate that MWCNTs adsorbing magnetic particles exhibit magnetic behavior,and suggest a method for producing ultrafine materials.It also introduces a new method of calculating the adsorption efficiency of carbon nanotubes,offering theoretical guidance for future research on nanomaterials with enhanced adsorption efficiency.

Deformable Permanent Ferroelectric or Ferromagnetic Media

In the framework of continuum mechanics, one of possible consistent definitions of deformable permanent magnets is introduced and explored. Similar model can be used for ferroelectric substances. Based on the suggested definition, we establish the key kinematic relationship for the deformable permanent magnet and suggest the simplest master system, allowing to analyze behavior of such substances.

Magnetorheological finishing of an irregular-shaped small-bore complex component using a small ball-end permanent-magnet polishing head

A novel magnetorheological finishing(MRF)process using a small ball-end permanent-magnet polishing head is proposed,and a four-axes linkage dedicated MRF machine tool is fabricated to achieve the nanofinishing of an irregularψ-shaped small-bore complex component with concave surfaces of a curvature radius less than3 mm.The processing method of the complex component is introduced.Magnetostatic simulation during the entire finishing path is carried out to analyze the material removal characteristics.A typicalψ-shaped small-bore complex component is polished on the developed device,and a fine surface quality is obtained with surface roughness Raof 0.0107μm and surface accuracy of the finished spherical surfaces of 0.3320μm(PV).These findings indicate that the proposed MRF process can perform the nanofinishing of a kind of small-bore complex component with small-curvature-radius concave surfaces.

The Experiments Detecting of Real Magnetic Charges in Structures of Atoms and Substance

Magnetic neutron scattering in Y-type hexagonal ferrite crystals, studied by the author in 1968-1971 and presented in the article showed that the entire density of the so-called magnetic moments of Fe3+ ions can significantly shift from the position of their nuclei. As result of these shift the structure in form of the chain magnetic spiral is realized in ferrite lattice. The noted shifts of the “magnetic moments” served as the basis for the author’s assumption that these “moments” are “fig sheets” behind which the magnetic poles (magnetic charges) real existing in the shells of atoms are hidden. In this case, the scattering of neutrons is carried out by magnetic charges, and not theoretical surrogates in the form of magnetic moments. In addition to participating in atomic structures, magnetic charges populate potential conduction zones in conductors, where they are exist in compositions of magnetic dipoles. Under the influence of an external magnetic field, a polarization of magnetic dipoles is realized in the conductor, the field strengths of which are directed against the external magnetic field. It is these dipole magnetic fields that are responsible for such a well-known physical phenomenon as diamagnetism. Under the conditions of noted polarization of magnetic dipoles the author managed to perform mechanical separation of magnetic charges in pairs ±g and to charge experienced bodies (metal plates) by the magnetic charges of one sign. The fact of such a charging was detected through magnetostatic interaction between magnetic charges on the plates using highly sensitive torsion balances. This experiment is presented in detail in this article. The results of these experiments, as well as subsequent experimental and theoretical studies of the author, which, in general composition, were carried out from 1968 to the present, showed that magnetic charges are real structural components of the atoms and substance. So, for example, the atomic shells are not electronic but electromagnetic. The main reason that real magnetic charges were “buried alive” in the existing physical theories is the physics of their confinement in substance forces of which, in its rigidity, is many times greater than the electron confinement forces.

Dependence of domain wall structures on repetition n in[Pt(0.5 nm)/Co(0.4 nm)]_n/NiO(1.1 nm)/[Co(0.4 nm)/Pt(0.5 nm)]_n multilayers

The magnetic force microscopy and a sample vibrating magnetometer have been used to investigate the domain structure in two antiferromagnetically coupled Co/Pt multilayers.In the antiferromagnetic coupled[Pt（0.5 nm）/Co（0.4 nm）]n/NiO（1.1 nm）/[Co（0.4 nm）/Pt（0.5 nm）]n multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy,the antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling strength increases linearly with the repetition number n in Co/Pt multilayers.In demagnetized states,relatively shifted domain walls in the two Co/Pt multilayers are observed,with net ferromagnetic stripes formed between them for the repetition number n less than 5,and the stripe width decreases with the increase of n.The occurrence of these features can be attributed to the competition between the interlayer coupling and magnetostatic energies.

Magnetic Properties and Intergranular Action in Bonded Hybrid Magnets

Magnetic properties and intergranular action in bonded hybrid magnets,based on NdFeB and strontium ferrite powders were investigated.The long-range magnetostatic interaction and short-range exchange coupling interaction existed simultaneously in bonded hybrid magnets,and neither of them could be neglected.Some magnetic property parameters of hybrid magnets could be approximately obtained by adding the hysteresis loops of two magnets pro rata.

Observation of nonlinearity and heating-induced frequency shifts in cavity magnonics

When there is a certain amount of field inhomogeneity,the biased ferrimagnetic crystal can exhibit the higher-order magnetostatic(HMS)mode in addition to the uniform-precession Kittel mode.In cavity magnonics,we show the nonlinearity and heating-induced frequency shifts of the Kittel mode and HMS mode in a yttrium-iron-garnet(YIG)sphere.When the Kittel mode is driven to generate a certain number of excitations,the temperature of the whole YIG sample rises and the HMS mode can display an induced frequency shift,and vice versa.This cross effect provides a new method to study the magnetization dynamics and paves a way for novel cavity magnonic devices by including the heating effect as an operational degree of freedom.

Multifrequency Magneto-optic Bragg Diffraction and Radio Frequency Signal Parallel Processing

Magneto-optic(MO)coupling of guided optical waves with microwave magnetostatic waves(MSWs)simultaneously excited by multiple radio frequency(RF)signals can lead to multifrequency diffraction effects and then parallel processing of RF signals can be realized by using of the characteristics that diffraction efficiencies(DEs)are approximately in direct proportion to RF signals intensities and diffraction angles are related to frequencies of the corresponding RF signals within linear MO interaction region.In this paper,studied is the multifrequency MO Bragg diffraction in first-order MO interaction approximation,and obtained was the approximate analytical expression for principle diffraction efficiency(PDE).Also,put forward was a parallel imaging method of relative intensity of RF signals based on single-frequency diffraction.By calculation and analysis,it is shown that the relative error is not more than 0.3dB for the case of three RF signals within the frequency space of 60MHz.

A New Perspective of the Force on a Magnetizable Rod inside a Solenoid

We analyze the familiar effect of the pulling of a magnetizable rod by a magnetic field inside a solenoid. We find that the analogy with the pulling of a dielectric slab by a charged capacitor is not as direct as usually thought. Indeed, there are two possibilities to pursue the analogy, according to the correspondence used,?either E → B and D → H, or E?→ H and D?→ B. One of these results in an incorrect sign in the force, while the other gives the correct result. We avoid this ambiguity in the usual energy method applying a momentum balance equation derived from Maxwell’s equations. This method permits the calculation of the force with a volume integration of a force density, or with a surface integration of a stress tensor. An interpretation of our results establishes that the force acts at the interface and has its origin in Maxwell′s magnetic stresses at the medium-vacuum interface. This approach provides new insights and a new perspective of the origin of this force.

A Method to Calculate Inductance in Systems of Parallel Wires

This paper gives a method that maps the static magnetic field due to a system of parallel current-carrying wires to a complex function. Using this function simplifies the calculation of the magnetic field energy density and inductance per length in the wires, and we reproduce well-known results for this case.

Control of Threshold and Gain of Parametric Amplification in Magnetoactive III-V Piezoelectric Semiconductors

The effect of doping concentrations and a transverse external magnetostatic field on operational characteristics of parametric amplification of backward Stokes signal has been studied, using hydrodynamic model of semiconductors, in the far infrared regime. The model suggests three achievable resonance conditions: (i) lattice frequency and plasma frequency (ii) stokes frequency and electron-cyclotron frequency (iii) stokes frequency and hybrid (plasma and electron-cyclotron) frequency and these conditions have been utilised, on one hand, to substantially reduce the value of threshold intensity for onset of the parametric amplification and on the other hand, for switching of parametric large positive and negative gain coefficient (i.e. amplification and absorption). For example a strong transverse magnetostatic field 10.0 T with free carrier concentration 1.5 x 1019m-3 enhances the gain by a factor of 103 as in its absence. Results also suggest that a weakly piezoelectric III–V semiconductor duly illuminated by slightly off-resonant not-too-high-power pulsed lasers with pulse duration sufficiently larger than the acoustic phonon lifetime is one of promising hosts for parametric amplifier/frequency converter.

On the Growth Mechanism of Nickel and Cobalt Nanowires and Comparison of Their Magnetic Properties

Magnetic nanowires(NWs)are ideal materials for the fabrication of various multifunctional nanostructures which can be manipulated by an external magnetic fi eld.Highly crystalline and textured nanowires of nickel(Ni NWs)and cobalt(Co NWs)with high aspect ratio(~330)and high coercivity have been synthesized by electrodeposition using nickel sulphate hexahydrate(NiSO_(4)·6H_(2)O)and cobalt sulphate heptahydrate(CoSO_(4)·7H_(2)O)respectively on nanoporous alumina membranes.They exhibit a preferential growth along〈110〉.A general mobility assisted growth mechanism for the formation of Ni and Co NWs is proposed.The role of the hydration layer on the resulting one-dimensional geometry in the case of potentiostatic electrodeposition is verified.A very high interwire interaction resulting from magnetostatic dipolar interactions between the nanowires is observed.An unusual low-temperature magnetisation switching for fi eld parallel to the wire axis is evident from the peculiar high fi eld M(T)curve.

Effects of orientation and interaction of grains on coercivity for sintered NdFeB magnets

The coercivity of NdFeB magnets is determined by the coercivity of individual grains and the interaction between the grains composed of the magnets. The coercivity of individual grains and the intergrain interaction depend on the degree of the grain alignment, “tanθ type” Gaussian function is applied to describing the degree of the grain alignment. According to different coercivity mechanisms, there are different formula on the coercivity and the angular dependence of coercivity. The interaction between grains can be classified as the long-range magnetostatic interaction and the exchange-coupling interaction of neighboring grains. For the sintered magnet, the grain size is large and the grain boundaries are mostly separated by the non-magnetic phase. So, the long-range magnetostatic interaction is much stronger than the exchange coupling interaction and it makes the coercivity of the magnet composed of misaligned grains be bigger than that of the magnet composed of ideally aligned grains. The effects of coercivity of individual grains and the intergrain interactions are taken into account, and the starting field theory is in agreement with the experimental result for the coercivity of sintered NdFeB magnets.
