A magnetic field of up to 12T was applied during the sintering process of pure MgB2 and carbon nanotube(CNT)dopedMgB2wires. The authors have demonstrated that magnetic field processing results in grain refinement, homogeneity, and enhancement in Jc(H) and Hirr. The extent of improvement in Jc increases with increasing field. The Jc for a 10T field processed CNTdoped sample increases by a factor of 3 at 10K and 8T and at 20K and 5T, respectively. Hirr for the 10T field processed CNTdoped sample reached 9T at 20K, which exceeded the best value of SiC dopedMgB2 at 20K. Magnetic field processing reduces the …


Hydrothermal Synthesis And Optical, Magnetic And Supercapacitance Properties Of Nanoporous Cobalt Oxide Nanorodes, Guoxiu Wang, Xiaoping Shen, Josip Horvat, Bei Wang, Hao Liu, David Wexler, Jane Yao Oct 2013

Hydrothermal Synthesis And Optical, Magnetic And Supercapacitance Properties Of Nanoporous Cobalt Oxide Nanorodes, Guoxiu Wang, Xiaoping Shen, Josip Horvat, Bei Wang, Hao Liu, David Wexler, Jane Yao

Nanoporous cobalt oxide nanorods were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Transmission electron microscopy analysis showed that the individual Co3O4 nanorods have a nanoporous structure, consisting of the textured aggregations of nanocrystals. Optical properties of Co3O4 nanorods were characterized by Raman and UV−vis spectroscopy. Magnetic property measurement shows that Co3O4 nanorods have a low Néel transition temperature of 35 K. We observed quite significant exchange bias for nanoporous Co3O4 nanorods, indicating the existence of magnetic coupling between the nanocrystals in Co3O4 nanorods. When applied as electrode materials in supercapacitors, Co3O4 demonstrated a high capacitance of 280 F/g.

A low frequency magnetic excitation in Cu3Bi(SeO 3)2O2Cl has been studied through complementary spectroscopic techniques which utilised terahertz radiation from a synchrotron, a mercury arc lamp, and a two-colour photomixing system. The excitation has been studied at temperatures down to 5K and in magnetic fields up to 10T. © 2012 IEEE.

"VNx nanoparticles and nanowires have been prepared by nitrifying V2O5 nanoparticles (NP) and nanowires (NW). The V2O5 NP and NW were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. Magnetic susceptibility (chi) and magnetization measurements showed long range superconducting ordering (LRSO) at the temperature of 5.8 K for NW, but there was no observation of LRSO (at least down to 2 K) for the NP sample, which is a much lower temperature than for the corresponding bulk, while both NP and NW showed the absence of long range magnetic ordering, at least down to 2 K. However, the chi data showed that …
