It has been considered that the partial nanocrystallization of amorphous structures is a key to macroscopic magnetic softness. However, the mechanism has not been clarified because of inadequate knowledge of the magnetic nanostructures connecting microscopic crystalline structures and macroscopic magnetic properties. Here, we performed small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) for Fe\u0000<sub>85</sub>\u0000Si\u0000<sub>2</sub>\u0000B\u0000<sub>8</sub>\u0000P\u0000<sub>4</sub>\u0000Cu\u0000<sub>1</sub>\u0000 alloy ribbons (NANOMETs). Rapidly quenched ribbons were annealed at 375 °C and 400 °C for 5 min. The X-ray diffraction pattern for the as-quenched ribbons did not exhibit peaks. Therefore, their atomic structure can be considered amorphous. Oppositely, evident α-iron peaks were observed for the ribbons annealed at 375 °C and 400 °C. The nuclear scattering contribution in SANS indicates that the precipitations were formed with sizes in the nanoscale. The magnetic scattering contribution in SANS for the as-quenched ribbon, whose intensity decreased with an increase in the scattering vector \u0000<italic>q</i>\u0000 in proportion to \u0000<italic>q</i>\u0000<sup>−4</sup>\u0000, disappeared when magnetic fields were applied. This behavior is consistent with the conventional magnetic domain picture. Oppositely, the reduction rates of the magnetic scattering contribution for \u0000<italic>q</i>\u0000 were nonmonotonous for the nanocrystallized ribbons. Furthermore, strong magnetic scattering was observed in the directions inclined to the magnetic field. This feature is similar to that reported for Fe–(Nb, Zr)–B alloy ribbons (NANOPERMs). The knowledge on the magnetic nanostructures characterized by the unusual angular dependence of magnetic scattering would be helpful to considering the relationship between partially nanocrystallized structure and macroscopic soft magnetic properties.","PeriodicalId":13040,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Magnetics Letters","volume":"14 ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67763014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thanks to the nonvolatile nature of magnetic tunnel junctions and the unique features of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors, the modeled design does not require external memory to store weights and also consumes low static power. Also, due to the circuit structure, which did not use sequential parts, the developed circuit is immune to soft error. Because, in binary neural networks, weights are limited to two values of −1 and 1, the occurrence of soft errors dramatically reduces the accuracy of the network. Simulation results indicate that the design in this work consumes at least 9% lower power, occupies 34% lower area, and offers a 49% lower power delay area product. Also, Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to study the effect of the process variation on the network. The result of the Monte Carlo simulations shows that the proposed neuron has no logical error in 10 000 simulations. Consequently, the accuracy of the network utilization by the neuron is equal to the software-implemented network and does not decrease even in the presence of process variations.","PeriodicalId":13040,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Magnetics Letters","volume":"14 ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67763006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many researchers optimize single magnets for this purpose; however, magnetic arrays that are placed parallel to the vessel in order to increase the impact time of the magnetic force on the particles are also discussed. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the improvement by the increased impact time has not been studied in detail so far and, thus, will be addressed in this work. In this context, an artificial exponential magnetic field that approximates the field of a Halbach array and acts as an upper limit consideration is applied to different impact lengths within a predefined magnetic domain. To compare the impact of the field parameters, the total magnetic energetic effort is kept constant as a reference for studying variations of impact length. The results reveal that a longer impact length increases the attraction performance enormously. However, for the same magnetic effort, a longer impact length with a lower magnetic field strength leads to the same attraction of the particles as a shorter one with higher field strengths. Since it is easier to generate lower field strengths, the usage of arrays to realize a longer impact length is preferable.","PeriodicalId":13040,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Magnetics Letters","volume":"14 ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67762121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We numerically analyzed the ac magnetization characteristics of the CMNP and the single-core MNP (SMNP) using the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation. Owing to the magnetic dipole–dipole interaction, the magnetization of the CMNP is approximately 10 times that of the SMNP under a certain excitation field. MNPs with a chainlike structure are thus expected to have enhanced magnetization characteristics and better performance in medical applications.
