We have designed a new magnetic bed structure with desirable table-like magnetocaloric effect (MCE) by using three kinds of soft ferromagnetic Gd-Al-Co microwire arrays with different Curie temperatures ($T_C$). The $T_C$ interval of these three wires is ~10 K and the designed new structure named Sample A. This sample shows a smooth table-like magnetic entropy change ($Delta S_M$) at high applied field change ($mu_0 Delta H=5 T$) ranging from ~92 K to ~107 K. The maximum entropy change ($-Delta S_M^{rm max}$) and refrigerant capacity (RC) for Sample A at $mu_0 Delta H=5 T$ are calculated to be ~9.42 Jkg$^{-1}$K$^{-1}$ and ~676 Jkg$^{-1}$. The calculated curves of $-Delta S_M(T)$ and the corresponding experimental data match well with each other, suggesting that the desirable magnetocaloric properties of the microwire arrays can be designed. Simulation shows that the RC values of the designed systems increase when increasing the interval of $T_C$. The table-like MCE and the enhanced heat-transfer efficiency due to the enhanced surface areas of the microwires make this newly designed magnetic bed very promising for use in energy-efficient magnetic refrigerators.

This paper proposes a spintronic neuron structure composed of a heterostructure of magnets and a piezoelectric with a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). The operation of the device is simulated using SPICE models. Simulation results illustrate that the energy dissipation of the proposed neuron compared to that of other spintronic neurons exhibits 70% improvement. Compared to CMOS neurons, the proposed neuron occupies a smaller footprint area and operates using less energy. Owing to its versatility and low-energy operation, the proposed neuron is a promising candidate to be adopted in artificial neural network (ANN) systems.
Enhancing light absorption in the recording media layer can improve the energy efficiency and prolong the device lifetime in heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). In this work, we report the design and implementation of a resonant nanocavity structure to enhance the light-matter interaction within an ultrathin FePt layer. In a Ag/SiO2/FePt trilayer structure, the thickness of the dielectric SiO2 layer is systematically tuned to reach maximum light absorption at the wavelength of 830 nm. In the optimized structure, the light reflection is reduced by more than 50%. This results in effective laser heating of the FePt layer, as imaged by an infrared camera. The scheme is highly scalable for thinner FePt layers and shorter wavelengths to be used in future HAMR technologies.
One of the main challenges of the industry today is to face its impact on global warming considering that the greenhouse effect problem is not be solved completely yet. Magnetic refrigeration represents an environment-safe refrigeration technology. The magnetic refrigeration is analysed using the second law analysis and introducing exergy in order to obtain a model for engineering application.
We present a study of the magnetocaloric effect in La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 (y=0.3) and Pr0.5Ca0.09Sr0.41MnO3 manganites. The low temperature state of both ystems is the result of a competition between the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phases. The samples display magnetocaloric effect evidenced in an adiabatic temperature change during a metamagnetic transition from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic phase . As additional features, La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 exhibits phase separation characterized by the coexistence of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phases and Pr0.5Ca0.09Sr0.41MnO3 displays inverse magnetocaloric effect in which temperature decreases while applying an external magnetic field. In both cases, a significant part of the magnetocaloric effect appears from non-reversible processes. As the traditional thermodynamic description of the effect usually deals with reversible transitions, we developed an alternative way to calculate the adiabatic temperature change in terms of the change of the relative ferromagnetic fraction induced by magnetic field. To evaluate our model, we performed direct measurement of the samples adiabatic temperature change by means of a differential thermal analysis. An excellent agreement has been obtained between experimental and calculated data. These results show that metamagnetic transition in manganites play an important role in the study of magnetic refrigeration.
Magnetic nanoparticle based hyperthermia emerged as a potential tool for treating malignant tumours. The efficiency of the method relies on the knowledge of magnetic properties of the samples; in particular, knowledge of the frequency dependent complex magnetic susceptibility is vital to optimize the irradiation conditions and to provide feedback for material science developments. We study the frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility of an aqueous ferrite suspension for the first time using non-resonant and resonant radiofrequency reflectometry. We identify the optimal measurement conditions using a standard solenoid coil, which is capable of providing the complex magnetic susceptibility up to 150 MHz. The result matches those obtained from a radiofrequency resonator for a few discrete frequencies. The agreement between the two different methods validates our approach. Surprisingly, the dynamic magnetic susceptibility cannot be explained by an exponential magnetic relaxation behavior even when we consider a particle size-dependent distribution of the relaxation parameter.
