Thermodynamic picture induced by π-d interaction in a molecular magnetic superconductor κ-(BETS)2FeX4 (X = Cl, Br), where BETS is bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene, studied by single crystal calorimetry is reviewed. Although the S = 5/2 spins of Fe3+ in the anion layers form a three-dimensional long-range ordering with nearly full entropy of Rln6, a broad hump structure appears in the temperature dependence of the magnetic heat capacity only when the magnetic field is applied parallel to the a axis, which is considered as the magnetic easy axis. The scaling of the temperature dependence of the magnetic heat capacity of the two salts is possible using the parameter of |Jdd|/kB and therefore the origin of the hump structure is related to the direct magnetic interaction, Jdd, that is dominant in the system. Quite unusual crossover from a three-dimensional ordering to a one-dimensional magnet occurs when magnetic fields are applied parallel to the a axis. A notable anisotropic field-direction dependence against the in-plane magnetic field was also observed in the transition temperature of the bulk superconductivity by the angle-resolved heat capacity measurements. We discuss the origin of this in-plane anisotropy in terms of the 3d electron spin configuration change induced by magnetic fields.

Purpose of work. To ascertain the causes of the abnormally large displacement of the martensitic point in steels and iron alloys in strong pulsed magnetic fields at low temperatures. Research methods. Generalization of experimental and theoretical investigations of the strong magnetic field influence on the martensitic transformation in steels and iron alloys, taking into account the magnetic state of austenite. The obtained results. The distributions of the martensitic point displacement ΔMS from the content of the main component - iron and the temperature of the martensitic γ → α- transformation beginning (martensitic point MS) in different experiments are obtained. It is shown that the obtained temperature dependence ΔMS(MS) in a strong magnetic field at low temperatures decomposes into two components, one of which correlates with the generalized Clapeyron-Clausius equations, and the other is opposite to it. In addition, it was found that steels and alloys with intense γ → α- transformation in a magnetic field contain at least 72.5% iron (wt), which at low temperatures in the fcc structure is antiferromagnetic. Scientific novelty. The anomalous temperature dependence of the distribution ΔMS(MS) in a strong magnetic field is explained on the basis of quantum representations of the magnetic interaction of atoms in the Fe-Ni system. This effect is associated with a number of other invar effects, in particular, with an abnormally large spontaneous and forced magnetostriction, a strong dependence of the resulting exchange integral on the interatomic distance. The point of view according to which in these alloys in a magnetic field γ → α- transformation occurs by the type of “magnetic first kind phase transformation” is substantiated. It is assumed that the nucleation of the martensitic phase in a magnetic field occurs in (at) local regions of γ- phase with disoriented atomic magnetic moments (with high compression and increased forced magnetostriction). Practical value. The information obtained in this work provides grounds for explaining the kinetic features of the transformation of austenite into martensite in steels and iron alloys.

A microscope to image weak magnetic fields using a low-temperature superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) had developed with a liquid helium consumption rate of ~0.5L/hour. The gradient pickup coil is made by a low-temperature superconducting niobium wire with a diameter of 66 μm, which is coupled to the input circuit of the SQUID and is then enwound on the sapphire bobbin. Both of the pickup coil and the SQUID sensor are installed in a red copper cold finger, which is thermally anchored to the liquid helium evaporation platform in the vacuum space of the cryostat. To reduce the distance between the pickup coil and sample, a 100 μm thick sapphire window is nestled up to the bottom of the cryostat. A three-dimensional scanning stage platform with a 50 cm Teflon sample rack under the sapphire window had the precision of 10 μm. To test the fidelity of the new facility, the distribution of the magnetic field of basalt slice specimens was determined. Results show that the spatial resolution of the newly-designed facility is 500 μm with a gradient magnetic field sensitivity of 380fT. This opens new opportunities in examining the distribution of magnetic assemblages in samples, which bear great geological and geophysical information.

The three-dimensional laminar and steady boundary layer flow of an electrically nonconducting and incompressible magnetic fluid, with low Curie temperature and moderate saturation magnetization, over an elastic stretching sheet, is numerically studied. The fluid is subject to the magnetic field generated by an infinitely long, straight wire, carrying an electric current. The magnetic fluid far from the surface is at rest and at temperature greater of that of the sheet. It is also assumed that the magnetization of the fluid varies with the magnetic field strength H and the temperature T. The numerical solution of the coupled and nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations, resulting after the introduction of appropriate nondimensional variables, with its boundary conditions, describing the problem under consideration, is obtained by an efficient numerical technique based on the common finite difference method. Numerical calculations are carried out for the case of a representative water-based magnetic fluid and for specific values of the dimensionless parameters entering into the problem, and the obtained results are presented graphically for these values of the parameters. The analysis of these results showed that there is an interaction between the motions of the fluid, which are induced by the stretching surface and by the action of the magnetic field, and the flow field is noticeably affected by the variations in the magnetic interaction parameter β. The important results of the present analysis are summarized in Sec. 6.

Fatigue failure of machine components occurs when cracks form in the stress concentration area and propagate under continued loading during component work. In order to understand the relation between the phenomena of stress concentration and crack propagation, non-destructive evaluation methods using in-situ measurements in the stress concentration areas are necessary. In the present work, a scanning Hall probe microscope (SHPM) equipped with a GaAs film sensor was developed and the three dimensional magnetic fields were observed at room temperature in air. The effect of stress on the changes in the magnetic field in steel components is reported. A steel specimen (JIS SKS93) embedded in acrylic resin were strained at different loads and the magnetic field before and after straining were observed. The obtained magnetic images clearly corresponded with the shape of the steel plate. It was possible to measure the changes in the magnetic field of the steel sample after straining under tensile loading, by neutralizing the initial magnetic field of the specimens prior to testing.

Effect of the magnetic prehistory on the temperature dependence of the heat capacity of the superconducting Pb, La, Sn. has been studied. As soon as the external magnetic field riches the valueHext=HCthe superconductivity is completely destroyed. The trapped flux was produced in the ring specimen after the magnetic field was turned off atT<TC. We observed a difference of the value of the heat capacity between zero field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) states in zero magnetic field for the ring specimen. It is found that the FC heat capacity is smaller than the heat capacity both in the normal and in superconducting states.


The first part of the paper is a physical discussion of the way in which a magnetic field affects the stability of a fluid in motion. Particular emphasis is given to how the magnetic field affects the interaction of the disturbance with the mean motion. The second part is an analysis of the stability of plane parallel flows of fluids with finite viscosity and conductivity under the action of uniform parallel magnetic fields. We show that, in general, three-dimensional disturbances are the most unstable, thus disagreeing with the conclusion of Michael (1953) and Stuart (1954). We show how results obtained for two-dimensional disturbances can be used to calculate the most unstable three-dimensional disturbances and thence we prove that a parallel magnetic field can never completely stabilize a parallel flow.

The structural and thermodynamic properties of polycrystalline samples of Y0.5Dy0.5MnO3 were investigated in order to investigate the effect of higher magnetic moment ion over Y ion. The structural transition from hexagonal to orthorhombic is observed at very high doping of Dy ion. Heat capacity measurements were performed at 2-300K in the application of different high magnetic field and the transition indicates the spin alignment of Mn 3+( TNMn3+ ). By using heat capacity data also calculated Debye temperature of the series.
