Magnetic composite polymers combine the properties of both magnet and which enable them to produce complex shape magnetic components. These materials have potential applications ranging microfluidics, vibration dampers, actuators, minimally invasive medical devices, because when fields are applied them, they can change precisely, quickly, consistently. Our study investigates behavior strontium ferrite particles [SrO(Fe2O3)6] suspended in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) under influence gravity,...

Magnetic Field Assisted Additive Manufacturing (MFAAM), 3D printing in a magnetic field, has the potential to fabricate high strength anisotropic bonded magnets. Here, 10, 35, and 54 wt% strontium ferrite magnets using polyamide 12 binder were developed by twin screw compounding process then printed via MFAAM samples zero, 0.5 Tesla (H parallel print direction bed). The hysteresis curves measured MicroSense EZ9 Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) for 3 different mount orientations of sample...

Continuous pin-hole free FA0.78Cs0.22Pb(I0.85Br0.15)3 films are deposited by gas-assisted slot-die printing under ambient conditions using DMF/DMSO based ink containing Formamdinium Acetate additive. Using a binary solvent mixture of DMF and DMSO is effective in eliminating the non-perovskite phase that occurs when alone used. Print-speed, gas flow rate chuck temperature optimized to realize homogeneous with constant bandgap (1.63 eV) over large substrates (2″ × 4″). The perovskite prepared...

Flexible materials embedded with hard magnetic particles have recently gained widespread recognition as small-scale actuators due to their capacity be a rapid and precise shape-shifting material. Strontium ferrite (SrFe12O19) been shown great candidate for such applications, since it is an inert material that, in contrast barium neodymium, also biocompatible. The preparation of done by mixing the into uncured elastomer (polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)), liquid form, then pouring mixture mold...

To explain the magnetic behavior of plastic deformation thin films (Fe and permalloy) on an elastic substrate (nitinol), it is noted that unlike in bulk, dislocation density does not increase dramatically because dimensional constraint. As a result, resulting residual stress, even though strain hardening limited, dominates observed behavior. Thus, with field parallel to stress axis, compressive from causes decrease remanence coercivity; perpendicular coercivity. These elements have been...

Antiferromagnetic NiO is a candidate for next generation high-speed and scaled RRAM devices. Here, electronic optical properties of antiferromagnetic NiO: Fe 25% in the rock salt structure are studied compared to intrinsic NiO. From density states complex dielectric function analysis, first transition found be at lower frequency than due an impurity level being valence band maximum. The resulting effects on refractive index, reflectivity, absorption, conductivity loss Fe-doped those NiO,...
