Size distribution and composition of magnetic precipitates in amorphous Ni–P alloy

Structural analysis of Fe–Mn–O nanoparticles in glass ceramics by small angle scattering

“…The neutron spins are either parallel (denoted by -) or antiparallel (denoted by +) to the applied magnetic field direction, depending on the polarization state of the incoming neutrons. The scattering cross sections for parallel and antiparallel polarization state of neutrons are given by [32,33]:…”

Homogeneous crystal nucleation in silicate glasses: A 40 years perspective

“…This result gives a new key to the solution of the problems posed by Granasy and James [105] that growth rates computed with values of kinetic coefficients obtained from nucleation data may lead to deviations between theory and experiment reaching several orders of magnitude. Even peculiarities in the evolution of the cluster size distributions -like the development of bimodal distributions in intermediate states of the nucleation-growth process and unexpected properties -may be explained straightforwardly based on these concepts [102,104,106,107]. Thus, in a correct theoretical treatment not only deviations of the composition of the critical nuclei from those of the respective macroscopic phases, but also variations in the composition of the sub-and supercritical crystals have to be and can be accounted for.…”

“…A direct experimental proof of changes of crystal composition with size in crystallization of Ni(P)-particles in hypoeutectic Ni-P amorphous alloys was recently reported in Refs. [106,107].…”

Controllable growth and magnetic characterization of electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni–P alloy nanotube and nanowire arrays inside AAO template

“…Especially the magnetic properties of the peculiar 1-D nanostructures of nanowire and nanotube arrays are more attractive and being driven for applications in high-density magnetic memories [2]. So far, various single-element magnetic nanostructured arrays like metallic cobalt, iron and nickel nanowires or nanotubes have been successfully synthesized, which open the way for the application of 1-D nanostructured materials in the information technology as the magnetic recording materials [3,4].…”
