ABSTRACTWe present an experimental model where magnetic balls in a box are used to simulate aggregation of small ferromagnetic particles a few nm in diameter. The aggregation can be characterized by a fractal dimension that increases as the magnetic moment of the particles decreases. The magnetization of the system of balls has been measured in an external magnetic field and compared for different values of the magnetic moments.

Magneto-rheological elastomer( MR elastomer) is an emerging intelligent material made up of macromolecule polymer and magnetic particles. While a promising wide application it has in the fields of warships vibration controlling for its controllable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties by external magnetic field, design and application of devices based on it are facing great limitations imposed by its poor performance in mechanical properties and magneto effect. Aiming at developing a practical MR elastomer, a new confecting method was proposed in this paper. Then, following this new method and using a specificly designed solidifying matrix, an amido- polyester MR elastomer was developed with its mechanical property systemically explored.

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.

ABSTRACTUsing microorganisms to remove waste and/or neutralize pollutants from contaminated water is attracting much attention due to the environmentally friendly nature of this methodology. However, cell recovery remains a bottleneck and a considerable challenge for the development of this process. Magnetotactic bacteria are a unique group of organisms that can be manipulated by an external magnetic field due to the presence of biogenic magnetite crystals formed within their cells. In this study, we demonstrated an account of accumulation and precipitation of amorphous elemental selenium nanoparticles within magnetotactic bacteria alongside and independent of magnetite crystal biomineralization when grown in a medium containing selenium oxyanion (SeO32−). Quantitative analysis shows that magnetotactic bacteria accumulate the largest amount of target molecules (Se) per cell compared with any other previously reported nonferrous metal/metalloid. For example, 2.4 and 174 times more Se is accumulated than Te taken up into cells and Cd2+adsorbed onto the cell surface, respectively. Crucially, the bacteria with high levels of Se accumulation were successfully recovered with an external magnetic field. The biomagnetic recovery and the effective accumulation of target elements demonstrate the potential for application in bioremediation of polluted water.IMPORTANCEThe development of a technique for effective environmental water remediation is urgently required across the globe. A biological remediation process of waste removal and/or neutralization of pollutant from contaminated water using microorganisms has great potential, but cell recovery remains a bottleneck. Magnetotactic bacteria synthesize magnetic particles within their cells, which can be recovered by a magnetic field. Herein, we report an example of accumulation and precipitation of amorphous elemental selenium nanoparticles within magnetotactic bacteria independent of magnetic particle synthesis. The cells were able to accumulate the largest amount of Se compared to other foreign elements. More importantly, the Se-accumulating bacteria were successfully recovered with an external magnetic field. We believe magnetotactic bacteria confer unique advantages of biomagnetic cell recovery and of Se accumulation, providing a new and effective methodology for bioremediation of polluted water.

AbstractNMR measurements of the 115In-Knightshift and the linewidth in liquid In-Mn are reported. They were carried out in an external magnetic field of about 4.0 T at concentrations 0, 3, and 6 at.% Mn at temperatures from 400 K to 1300 K. According to our experimental results there are no localized magnetic moments in the liquid In-Mn-system. The experimental results are discussed in the framework of theories on metallic alloys.

A magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is comprised of ferromagnetic particles aligned in a polymer medium by exposure to a magnetic field. The structures of the magnetic particles within elastomers are very sensitive to the external stimulus of either mechanical force or magnetic field, which result in multiresponse behaviors in a MRE. In this study, the sensing properties of MREs are investigated through experimentally characterizing the electrical properties of MRE materials and their interfaces with external stimulus (magnetic field or stress/strain). A phenomenological model is proposed to understand the impedance response of MREs under mechanical loads and magnetic fields. Results show that MRE samples exhibit significant changes in measured values of impedance and resistance in response to compressive deformation, as well as the applied magnetic field.

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 results of Mössbauer studies of the composition and magnetic structure of Fe3O4 / -Fe2O3 nanoparticles placed in an external magnetic field with a strength of 1.8 kOe, which is a continuation of the work [A.S. Kamzin, I.M. Obaidat, A.A. Valliulin, V.G. Semenov, I.A. Al-Omari. FTT No. 10/2020]. It is shown that the thickness of the maghemite (-Fe2O3) shell can be changed by the synthesis conditions. It was found that on the surface of the maghemite (-Fe2O3) shell in the Fe3O4 / -Fe2O3 nanocomposites there is a layer in which the magnetic moments are not oriented collinearly to the moments located in the depth of the shell, i.e., there is a canted spin structure. An intermediate layer in the spin-glass state is formed between the core and the shell. The data obtained on the structure of core / shell particles are important for understanding the properties of nanocomposites, which are of great interest for applications in various fields, including biomedicine.
