This investigation expands on prior work that investigated the viability of an EHSA that uses permanent magnets and amorphous core coils. The performance of the proposed system is demonstrated and enhanced in the current study through the development and optimization of a prototype. A thorough testing of the prototype is performed to determine design improvements for boosting the system’s overall performance and to quantify the recovered energy. In previous work, a method was proposed to find the dependence of the magnetic flux with the relative position between the primary and secondary elements to obtain the optimal position for the system. This method is applied to optimize the energy harvesting coil by testing different configurations in terms of the placement and type of amorphous or nonamorphous core inside the energy harvesting coil. This is a crucial area of attention in order to maximize energy recovery while solving the low-frequency problem that suspension systems have (on the order of 10 Hz).","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42958858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Enhanced Magnetic Cooling through Tailoring the Size-Dependent Magnetocaloric Effect of Iron Nanoparticles Embedded in Titanium Nitride Thin Films","authors":"K. Sarkar, M. Jordan, A. Kebede, Steve Kriske, Frank Wise, Dhananjay Kumar","doi":"10.3390/magnetochemistry9070188","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/magnetochemistry9070188","url":null,"abstract":"The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in iron (Fe) nanoparticles incorporated within a titanium nitride (TiN) thin-film matrix grown using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is investigated in this study. The study demonstrates the ability to control the entropy change across the magnetic phase transition by varying the size of the Fe nanoparticles. The structural characterization carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning transmission electron (TEM) showed that TiN films are (111) textured, while the Fe-particles are mostly spherical in shapes, are single-crystalline, and have a coherent structure with the surrounding TiN thin-film matrix. The TiN thin-film matrix was chosen as a spacer layer since it is nonmagnetic, is highly corrosion-resistive, and can serve as an excellent conduit for extracting heat due to its high thermal conductivity (11 W/m K). The magnetic properties of Fe–TiN systems were investigated using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. In-plane magnetic fields were applied to record magnetization versus field (M–H) and magnetization versus temperature (M–T) curves. The results showed that the Fe–TiN heterostructure system exhibits a substantial isothermal entropy change (ΔS) over a wide temperature range, encompassing room temperature to the blocking temperature of the Fe nanoparticles. Using Maxwell’s relation and analyzing magnetization–temperature data under different magnetic fields, quantitative insights into the isothermal entropy change (ΔS) and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) were obtained for the Fe–TiN heterostructure system. The study points out a considerable negative change in ΔS that reaches up to 0.2 J/kg K at 0.2 T and 300 K for the samples with a nanoparticle size on the order of 7 nm. Comparative analysis revealed that Fe nanoparticle samples demonstrate higher refrigeration capacity (RC) in comparison to Fe thin-film multilayer samples, with the RC increasing as the Fe particle size decreases. These findings provide valuable insights into the potential application of Fe–TiN heterostructures in solid-state cooling technologies, highlighting their enhanced magnetocaloric properties.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45668891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the challenges with using dithranol is its photostability, because it easily degrades when exposed to light. This study investigated the potential of coaxial core-sheath PCL/PVA nanofibers as a dual-functional system for enhancing dithranol photostability and remote-controlled drug delivery for psoriasis therapy. We have shown that coaxial nanofibers with titanium oxide nanoparticles (reflecting and absorbing ultra-violet light) in the PVA-based sheath part of the nanofibers can increase dithranol photostability. Incorporation of dithranol and magnetic nanoparticles into a PCL-based core of the nanofibers enables dithranol release control via an external radio-frequency field. The application of a radio-frequency field generates heat that can be used to control the release rate of drugs. Our approach therefore offers a non-invasive and remotely controlled drug release system that hold promise for the development of new topical formulations for psoriasis treatment using dithranol.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41672188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal is to elucidate the effect of femtosecond laser ablation on the magnetic properties of FeRh. We employed Scanning Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (S-MOKE) microscopy to examine the magnetic phase after laser processing, providing high spatial resolution and sensitivity. Our results for the first time demonstrated the appearance of a magneto-optical signal from the bottom of ablation craters, suggesting a transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic behavior. Fluence-resolved measurements clearly demonstrate that the ablation threshold coincides with the threshold of the antiferromagnet-to-ferromagnet phase transition. The existence of such a magnetic phase transition was independently confirmed by temperature-dependent S-MOKE measurements using a CW laser as a localized heat source. Whereas the initial FeRh film displayed a reversible antiferromagnet-ferromagnet phase transition, the laser-ablated structures exhibited irreversible changes in their magnetic properties. This comprehensive analysis revealed the strong correlation between the femtosecond laser ablation process and the magnetic phase transformation in FeRh thin films.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44066209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate the electron correlation effect as employed within hybrid functional (HSE) and also within the DFT+U method with varied values of parameters between 0.9 and 6 eV. The XA-crystal structure was investigated with antiferromagnetic orderings of the magnetic moments of the manganese. It was found that with a growth of the Coulomb interaction parameter, the manganese ions magnetic moment increases, and it reaches the value of 4.15–4.46 μB per Mn. In addition, the total magnetic moment decreases because of the AFM ordering of the Mn ions and a small magnetic moment of Ni. The calculated total magnetic value agrees well with recent experiments demonstrating a low value of magnetization. This experimental value is most closely reproduced for the moderate values of the Coulomb parameter, also calculated in constrained LDA, while previous DFT studies substantially overestimated this value. It is also worth noticing that for all values of the Coulomb interaction parameter, this compound remains metallic in its electronic structure in agreement with transport measurements.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49320197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analytical solutions of acoustically driven equations for magnon oscillators display a nonmonotonous dependence of the peak magnetization precession on the film thickness. It is explained by different L-dependence of multiple prefactors entering in the expression for the total magnetization dynamics. Depending on the ratio of acoustic and magnetic (Gilbert) damping constants, the magnetization precession is shown to be amplified by a Q-factor of either the phonon or the magnon resonance. The increase in the phonon mode amplitude for thinner membranes is also found to be significant. Focusing on the magnetization dynamics excited by the two first acoustic eigenmodes with p=1 and p=2, we predict the optimum thicknesses of nickel membranes to achieve large amplitude magnetization precession at multi 100 GHz frequencies at reasonably low values of an external magnetic field. By extending the study to the case of Ni-Si bilayers, we show that these resonances are achievable at even higher frequencies, approaching the THz range.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46225585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EDMR has been widely applied to investigate thin-film semiconductor materials in which the presence of defects can induce the current limiting processes. Conventional EDMR measurements are performed on samples with a special geometry that allows the use of a typical electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) resonator. For such measurements, it is of utmost importance that the geometry of the sample under assessment does not influence the results of the experiment. Here, we present a single-board EPR spectrometer using a chip-integrated, voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) array as a planar microwave source, whose geometry optimally matches that of a standard EDMR sample, and which greatly facilitates electrical interfacing to the device under assessment. The probehead combined an ultrasensitive transimpedance amplifier (TIA) with a twelve-coil array, VCO-based, single-board EPR spectrometer to permit EDMR-on-a-Chip (EDMRoC) investigations. EDMRoC measurements were performed at room temperature on a thin-film hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) pin solar cell under dark and forward bias conditions, and the recombination current driven by the a-Si:H dangling bonds (db) was detected. These experiments serve as a proof of concept for a new generation of small and versatile spectrometers that allow in situ and operando EDMR experiments.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42158473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
