Hysteretic and nonlinear dielectric behaviour in ferroelectric ceramics has been of interest since 1950s, when these materials found application in various electronic devices. Presently, these phenomena concern with important areas of science, technology a ...
We have studied the evolution of the magnetic properties of monolayer-high cobalt islands on a Pt(111) surface as function of their exposure to oxygen. We observe a sequential quenching of magnetic anisotropy and magnetic moment. For minute exposures to ox ...
Chem. shift anisotropy (CSA) tensor parameters have been detd. for the protonated carbons of the purine bases in an RNA kissing complex in soln. by extending the model-independent approach [Fushman, D., Cowburn, D. (1998) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120, 7109-7110]. ...
Copper wires each one containing a pseudo-spin valve of Co/Cu/Co were produced by electrodeposition inside nanoporous polycarbonate membranes. These wires have a diameter of 40 nm and a length of 6000 nm of which only 50 nm relates to the spin valve. In or ...
Strain-field measurements and in situ polarized light microscopy have been used to evidence a hysteretic, irreversible electric-field-induced transition to a quasimonodomain rhombohedral phase in 111-oriented, pseudo-orthorhombic PZN-8PT [0.92Pb(Zn1/3 ...
A hydrothermal processing route was used to produce anisotropic submicrometer particles of potassium niobate-tantalates and pure potassium niobate. Piezoelectric activity, switching polarization, and piezoelectric hysteresis loops were observed in these fe ...
Planar magnetic sensor, made in particular via CMOS techniques on a semiconductor substrate (1) of for example parallelepiped shape. It includes an amorphous ferromagnetic core (10) in the shape of a Greek cross which occupies the two diagonals of the squa ...
Individual Mn impurities deposited on Ge(100), Ge(111), and GaAs(110) substrates present magnetic moments significantly larger compared to the average Mn magnetization in bulklike Ga1-xMnxAs and MnxGe1-x dilute magnetic semiconductors. The Mn magnetic mome ...
The piezoelectric effect in ferroelectric single crystals and ceramics is investigated considering intrinsic (lattice), and extrinsic (originating mainly from displacement of domain walls) contributions. The focus of the study of intrinsic properties is on ...
This paper describes a linear motor optimization based on an analytical model. The studied motor, also called "ironless", consists of an iron core U shape with permanent magnets on each side, between which the coils can move. The glider which supports the ...
