Nickel thin films (100 nm) deposited on 128∘Y -cut: LiNbO 3 exhibits a well-defined, uniaxial, magnetic anisotropy after annealing at 325 °C. Simulating the magnetization of these films using a temperature-dependent Stoner–Wohlfarth (SW) model indicates that the films have a very narrow angular distribution of anisotropy axis orientations. Here, we report a direct measurement of the angular distribution of […]
This article discusses the optimum layout of coils of a superconducting magnet system for magnetic density separation (MDS). MDS is a novel separation technology that combines a vertical magnetic field gradient with a ferrofluid to separate mixtures of non-magnetic particles based on their mass density. The MDS process can separate more than two types of […]
In this article, electromagnet layouts are presented, which generate a magnetic field with a magnitude gradient that does not vary significantly in a horizontal plane but decreases monotonically with the vertical height above the magnet. Such a one-direction magnetic field gradient is a specific requirement for magnetic density separation (MDS), a novel recycling technology that […]
