Modern accelerator design practice includes the use of high-quality ferrites for circulator applications with ever-increasing requirements on power handling ability. Modeling studies of new designs are of increasing economic importance, but are frequently hindered by lack of measured values of the ceramic loss factors. We have developed a nanocrystalline ferrite material with composition Ni0.94Co0.03Mn0.04Cu0.03Fe1.96O4. Nanocrystalline NiCoMnCu ferrite powders were synthesized using a microwave hydrothermal method at 160 degrees C for 40 min. The ferrite formation conditions, such as pH, temperature and time, were optimized. The phase of the samples was identified by X-ray diffraction and was characterized by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy. The size of the nanocrystalline ferrite of as-synthesized powders was 10 nm. The powder was densified at different temperatures using a microwave sintering method. The complex permittivity and permeability of the sintered samples were measured over a frequency range from 10 kHz to 1.8 GHz at room temperature. The applicability of the samples for circulators was tested via the measurement of the ferromagnetic resonance line width and the results are presented. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Summary: The study found that using different feed rates in jet milling during the preparation of Mn50Bi50 alloy can affect the phase composition and magnetic properties of the alloy. Jet milling of the crushed alloy leads to changes in coercivity and magnetization. Additionally, it was observed that increasing the feed rate during jet milling can lead to a decrease in both coercivity and magnetization.

Effect of Dy3+ substitution on structural and magnetodielectric properties of Mn-Zn ferrites synthesized by microwave hydrothermal method

P. Neelima, P. Usha, T. Ramesh, Kiran Kumar Ganta

Summary: In this study, dysprosium-substituted Mn-Zn ferrites were synthesized and the effect of Dy3+ substitution on the structural, electrical and magnetodielectric properties of Mn-Zn ferrites was examined. It was found that for lower concentrations of Dy3+, the prepared ferrites had a single spinel phase structure, while a minor phase of DyFeO3 appeared for higher concentrations. The electrical properties showed an increase in resistivity with Dy3+ substitution. The magnetodielectric properties showed significant changes with the amount of Dy3+ present, indicating that Dy3+ substitution can be used to tune the electrical and magnetodielectric properties of Mn-Zn ferrites.

It is found that the low-energy part of the spectrum consists of a gapless phason branch with linear dispersion and a gapped optical branch corresponding to the fan structure amplitude oscillations. In the high-energy part of the spectrum, the excitations are similar to the magnons of the fully polarized phase.

Alexander Ya. Simonovskii, Alexander A. Yanovskii, Arthur R. Zakinyan

Summary: In this study, the departure frequency of vapor bubbles during boiling of ferrofluid in a horizontal magnetic field is experimentally investigated. Two methods, visual and inductive, are used to measure the frequency of bubble departure. The results show that the bubble departure frequency can decrease with increasing magnetic field strength and increase with increasing temperature of the heat-emitting surface. A linear stability analysis is conducted to analyze the influence of the magnetic field on the frequency of bubble formation during ferrofluid boiling.

Thermodynamic, entanglement and spin Hall conductivity on kagome-honeycomb lattice system

Leonardo S. Lima

Summary: This study investigates the thermodynamic quantities, such as entropy, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility, in the next-nearest-neighbors Heisenberg model on a honeycomb-kagome lattice. The linear spin-wave approach is applied to obtain the temperature-dependent behavior of these quantities. Additionally, the entanglement negativity, a quantifier of quantum entanglement, and the spin Hall conductivity are also studied. The results show that all the thermodynamic quantities, as well as the entanglement negativity and spin Hall conductivity, exhibit an increasing trend with temperature. Furthermore, it is found that all the analyzed quantities approach zero in the low-temperature limit, consistent with experimental observations.
