A decrease of the temperature dependent coercive forces up to around 370 K is discovered in iron silicon alloys, both in quenched samples and in samples which were previously thermally treated to achieve the highest magnetic ...

The magnetic transition in a FeSiBCuNb nanocrystalline alloy, associated with the decoupling of ferromagnetic crystallites around the Curie point of the residual amorphous matrix, is analyzed in this work through the ...

Composite materials are being used in the design of new devices to produce more functional, cheap and on-demand products. In particular, 3D printing technology based on composites opens a huge field enabling the freedom ...

Mechanical actuators based on shape memory alloys (SMA) are becoming a key component in the development of novel soft robotic applications and surgically implantable devices. Their working principle relies in the temperature ...

The nonlinear giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect was explored as a highly sensitive sensing technology in 3D-printed magnetic encoded systems. Magnetic nanoparticles with low (magnetite, Fe3O4) and high (Co ferrite, ...

The reduction of the thermal hysteresis in first order magnetostructural transition is a determining factor to decrease energy losses and to improve the efficiency of magnetocaloric cooling based systems. In this work, a ...

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) have the potential to act as heat sources in magnetic hyperthermia. The key parameter for this application is the specific absorption rate (SAR), which must be as large as ...

In the present work, mechanical spectroscopy measurements as a function of temperature and strain have been performed in (at.%) Ni50Mn37Sn13-xTix (x=0, 0.5 and 2) ferromagnetic shape memory alloys in order both to study ...

The denaturation processes of collagen in the temperature range between 450 K and 670 K are revealed through studies performed on cow rib bones by means of mechanical spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, ...
