Interactions and magnetization reversal of Ni nanowires arrays have been investigated by the first order reversal curve (FORC) method. Several series of samples with controlled spatial distribution were considered including simple wires of different lengths and diameters (70 nm and 110 nm) and complex wires with single modulated diameter along their length. Subtle features of magnetic interactions are revealed through a quantitative analysis of the local interaction field profile distributions obtained from FORC. In addition the FORC analysis indicates that the nanowire systems with a mean diameter of 70 nm appear to be organized in symmetric clusters indicative of a reversal-field memory effect.
We report on the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the electrical conductivity and dielectric permittivity of the [Fe(Htrz)(trz)](BF) (Htrz = 1H-1,2,4,-triazole) spin crossover complex. Variable-temperature and -pressure broad-band impedance spectrometry revealed a piezoresistive effect of more than 1 order of magnitude for pressures as low as 500 bar, associated with a large pressure-induced hysteresis of 1700 bar. The origin of the piezoresistive effect has been attributed to the pressure-induced spin state switching in the complex, and the associated P,T phase diagram was determined.
Dynamic covalent polymers are materials formed by reversible covalent bonds and non-covalent interactions through an adaptive constitutional dynamic chemistry. The implementation of dynamic covalent polymers in gene delivery has recently...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
