Soft magnetic composites, consisting of fine metallic particles in a non-magnetic, insulating matrix, have great potential for integrated inductor and antenna applications. The dielectric and magnetic properties of soft magnetic composites can be tailored by the choice of matrix as well as particle composition, size, and concentration for reduction in...
Total energy calculations based on density functional theory are generally a good
approach to obtain the properties of solids. The local density approximation (LDA) is
widely used for calculating the ground state properties of electronic systems; for excited
states the errors are in general unknown. The important aspects of LDA...
This thesis presents the results from Monte Carlo calculations on classical vector spins in
face-centered-cubic (FCC) lattices. The goal of the study was to understand the effect of
interlayer coupling, dilution of magnetic atoms in the lattice, and symmetry-changing
strain.
Experimental work by T. M. Giebultowicz et al. and J....
Magnetically Assisted Fluidized Bed (MAFB) is a novel technology where an external magnetic field with constant gradient interacts with magnetically susceptible particles. The linear magnetic field creates two type of forces: external and interparticle magnetic forces. A theoretical mathematical model based on the interaction of ideal dipoles is proposed to...
