The ferromagnetism induced by an external magnetic field (EMF), in (3+1) dimensions, is governed by Kraenkel–Manna–Merle system (KMMS). A (1+1) dimension model equation was derived in the literature. The magnetic moments are parallel to the magnetic field in ferromagnetism as they are aligning in the same direction of the external field. Here, it is shown that the KMMS supports the presence of internal magnetic field. This may be argued to medium characteristics. The objective of this work is to mind multiple soliton solutions, which are obtained via the generalized together with extended unified methods. Graphical representation of the results are carried. They describe infinite soliton shapes, which arise from the multiple variation of the arbitrary functions in the solutions. It is, also, shown that internal magnetic field decays, asymptotically, to zero with time.

Abstract Detailed control over the motion of colloidal particles is relevant in many applications in colloidal science such as lab-on-a-chip devices. Here, we use an external magnetic field to assemble paramagnetic colloidal spheres into colloidal rods of several lengths. The rods reside above a square magnetic pattern and are transported via modulation of the direction of the external magnetic field. The rods behave like bipeds walking above the pattern. Depending on their length, the bipeds perform topologically distinct classes of protected walks. We design parallel polydirectional modulation loops of the external field that command up to six classes of bipeds to walk on distinct predesigned paths. Using such loops, we induce the collision of reactant bipeds, their polymerization addition reaction to larger bipeds, the separation of product bipeds from the educts, the sorting of different product bipeds, and also the parallel writing of a word consisting of several letters. Our ideas and methodology might be transferred to other systems for which topological protection is at work.

The carbon-encapsulated superparamagnetic colloidal nanoparticles (SCNps) were rigidized into soft solids by embedding the SCNps into polyacrylamide hydrogel matrixes under the induction of an external magnetic field. Stabilized by the balance of attractive (magnetic) and repulsive (electrostatic) forces, the SCNps form one-dimension photonic crystal structures along the direction of the external magnetic field and further the structures are frozen into the solidified polymer matrix. The polymer matrix embedded one-dimension photonic crystal structures can strongly diffract visible light and present brilliant color in the light. This novel and soft solid polymer matrix that could be shaped and sliced not only paves a new avenue for develop novel magnetic-responsive photonic crystal materials and devices, but also provides a method to observe the magnetic-induced self-assembly structures of the SCNps in media such as polyacrylamide hydrogel matrixs as a result of the ordered structures frozen into the polyacrylamide hydrogel matrixs. So we can reveal the relationship between their structure and color, and furthermore permit a systematic exploration on magnetically induced self-assembling dynamics, colloidal crystallography which have important significance in the large-scale industrial production in the future.

Based on the quantum theory and a simplified version of the multiple-scale method, the nonlinear excitations in a two-dimensional ferromagnetic lattice with an external magnetic field are analytically investigated. The standard two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation is obtained. Results show that the quantum quasi-soliton can exist in the two-dimensional ferromagnetic lattice. In addition, when the group velocity is equal to zero, at the boundary of the Brillouin zone, the quantum quasi-soliton becomes the quantum intrinsic localized mode.

We carry out Monte Carlo simulations of a ferromagnetic colloidal system, which is subjected to an external magnetic field, to investigate the structures formed by chain clusters. The control parameters are the ratio of the dipole moment energy to thermal energy, λ, and the ratio of the interactive energy between the dipole and the external magnetic field to thermal energy, ξ. We investigate the effect of the system height on the pattern formations for λ=18 and ξ=30, ∞. Note that the system becomes paramagnetic when ξ=∞. We find that as the system height increases, chains coagulate to form fat clusters and spatially ordered structures are created when ξ=30, whereas chains form thin meandering walls when ξ=∞.

The novel magnetic nanocomposites have been prepared by simultaneous forming of Fe3O4 nanospheres and graphene sheets in an anchoring mode and polymerizing of pyrrole on the Fe3O4 surface. TEM, XRD and XPS were used to characterize the as-prepared products. Nanocomposites exhibit excellent adsorption capability of 348.4 mg g-1 for heavy metal Cr (VI) ions, and moreover, are stable, separable easily under external magnetic field and recyclable, retaining about 83.1% of the removal efficiency after four adsorption-desorption cycles. The adsorption isotherm has been studied and shows a good consistency with the Langmuir mode. The nanocomposites could be a good candidate for efficient removal of Cr (VI) from the wastewater.

We report on a novel multi-stimuli-responsive amphiphile, 1-(<i>Z</i>)-heptenyl-1’-dimethylammonium-methyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ferrocene<b> </b>(<b>6</b>), whose self-assembly properties can be altered by three different stimuli, namely: (i) the addition of external salts which serve to unfold the sultone headgroup, thus triggering self-assembly of <b>6</b> into vesicles; (ii) oxidation to <b>6<sup>+</sup></b>, which changes the lipophilic ferrocene to a hydrophilic ferrocenium entity, thereby broadening the size-distribution of the aggregates; and (iii) exposition of <b>6<sup>+</sup> </b>to an external magnetic field of 0.8 T. Under thease conditions and at sufficient concentration, <b>6</b><sup><b>+</b> </sup>forms large, tubular aggregates with lengths of up to 15 µm, which persist for over 5 min after the field is switched off again. <b>6<sup>+</sup></b> is thus the first amphiphile to exhibit a shape-hysteresis effect. The self-assembly/disassembly processes and their dynamics were studied live and in situ by optical birefringence measurements coupled to light scattering. <br>
