Black metal hydrogen above 360 GPa driven by proton quantum fluctuations
(Nature Physics, 2020-09-07)
Hydrogen metallization under stable conditions is a major quest for realizing the first room temperature su-
perconductor. Recent low-temperature experiments report different metallization pressures, varying from 360GPa ...
Quantum crystal structure in the 250-kelvin superconducting lanthanum hydride
(Springer Nature, 2020-02-05)
The discovery of superconductivity at 200 kelvin in the hydrogen sulfide system at high pressures demonstrated the potential of hydrogen-rich materials as high-temperature superconductors. Recent theoretical predictions ...
Magnetosomes could be protective shields against metal stress in magnetotactic bacteria
(Nature, 2020-07)
Magnetotactic bacteria are aquatic microorganisms with the ability to biomineralise membrane-enclosed magnetic nanoparticles, called magnetosomes. These magnetosomes are arranged into a chain that behaves as a magnetic ...
Magnetotactic bacteria for cancer therapy
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-08-21)
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are aquatic microorganisms that are able to biomineralize membrane-enclosed magnetic nanoparticles called magnetosomes. Inside the MTB, magnetosomes are arranged in a chain that allows MTB to ...
Investigating the Size and Microstrain Influence in the Magnetic Order/Disorder State of GdCu2 Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2020-06-05)
A series of GdCu [Math Processing Error] nanoparticles with controlled sizes ranging from 7 nm to 40 nm has been produced via high-energy inert-gas ball milling. Rietveld refinements on the X-ray diffraction measurements ...
Influence of Upconversion Processes in the Optically-Induced Inhomogeneous Thermal Behavior of Erbium-Doped Lanthanum Oxysulfide Powders
(MDPI, 2016-05-11)
The efficient infrared-to-visible upconversion emission present in Er-doped lanthanum oxysulfide crystal powders is used as a fine thermal sensor to determine the influence of upconversion processes on the laser-induced ...
Metallic Glass/PVDF Magnetoelectric Laminates for Resonant Sensors and Actuators: A Review
(MDPI, 2017-05-31)
Among magnetoelectric (ME) heterostructures, ME laminates of the type Metglas-like/PVDF (magnetostrictive+piezoelectric constituents) have shown the highest induced ME voltages, usually detected at the magnetoelastic ...
Sensor Applications of Soft Magnetic Materials Based on Magneto-Impedance, Magneto-Elastic Resonance and Magneto-Electricity
(MDPI, 2014-04-25)
The outstanding properties of selected soft magnetic materials make them successful candidates for building high performance sensors. In this paper we present our recent work regarding different sensing technologies based ...
Enhanced mass sensitivity in novel magnetoelastic resonators geometries for advanced detection systems
(Elsevier, 2019-10-01)
Acoustic wave based sensors have a major impact in the detection of low concentration of biological and chemical agents. Magnetoelastic resonator platforms are particularly interesting due to their low cost and wireless ...
Size Dependence of the Magnetoelastic Properties of Metallic Glasses for Actuation Applications
(MDPI, 2019-10-04)
We present an exhaustive study of the magnetoelastic properties of 24 strips with different rectangular dimensions, cut from a long ribbon of Metglas((R)) 2826MB3. The strips have a length-to-width ratio R = L/w ranging ...
