Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, we aim to emphasize the most recent and most significant advances in the topics related to nanosized and nanostructured magnetic materials, e.g., nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanostrips, various nanostructured magnetic materials, including nanocrystalline ones, having different shapes and sizes, and targeted for multiple applications. The focus on experimental methods and techniques, e.g., preparation (rapid solidification processes, different deposition procedures, atomization, milling, etc.), characterization (magnetic, structural, etc.), post-production enhancement of properties (annealing, mechanical processing, applied stresses, etc.), as well as on their application possibilities, will be complemented by novel theoretical and computational approaches in the investigation of these materials, such as modeling of their magnetic behavior and properties by means of analytical and numerical methods, simulation of the magnetic hysteresis, and other phenomena, including application-related ones. Applications will have a very important place in this Special Issue, given the diverse opportunities offered by the outstanding properties of the investigated nanosized and nanostructured magnetic materials, which range from micro- and nanosensing to engineering, biomedical, computing, and telecommunications, energy, and automotive applications, just to name a few.

This Special Issue will be an excellent guide and bibliographic resource for both scientists and industrial specialists with a thorough interest in the development, study, and application of such novel magnetic materials.

In this paper, we report for the first time on the theoretical and experimental investigation of Fe77.5Si7.5B15 amorphous glass-coated nanowires by analyzing samples with the same diameters in both cases. The hysteresis curves, the dependence of the switching field values on nanowire dimensions, and the effect of the magnetoelastic anisotropy on the magnetization processes were analyzed and interpreted to explain the magnetization reversal in highly magnetostrictive amorphous nanowires prepared in cylindrical shape by rapid quenching from the melt. All the measured samples were found to be magnetically bistable, being characterized by rectangular hysteresis loops. The most important feature of the study is the inclusion of the magnetoelastic anisotropy term that originates in the specific production process of these amorphous nanowires. The results show that the switching field decreases when the nanowire diameter increases and this effect is due to the reduction in anisotropy and in the intrinsic mechanical stresses. Moreover, the obtained results reveal the importance of factors such as geometry and magnetoelastic anisotropy for the experimental design of cylindrical amorphous nanowires for multiple applications in miniaturized devices, like micro and nanosensors.

Melting, solidification, and viscosity properties of multicomponent Fe-Cu-Nb-Mo-Si-B alloys with low aluminum addition (up to 0.42 at.% Al) were studied using an oscillating cup viscometer. It is shown that melting and solidification are divided into two stages with a knee point at 1461 K. The temperature dependences of the liquid fraction between the liquidus and solidus temperatures during melting and solidification are calculated. It has been proven that aluminum accelerates the processes of melting and solidification and leads to an increase in liquidus and solidus temperatures. In the liquid state at temperatures above 1700 K in an alloy with a low aluminum content, the activation energy of viscous flow increases. This growth was associated with the liquid–liquid structure transition, caused by the formation of large clusters based on the metastable Fe23B6 phase. Aluminum atoms attract iron and boron atoms and contribute to the formation of clusters based on the Fe2AlB2 phase and metastable phases of a higher order. Full article

In this article, the downsizing of functional Heusler alloys is discussed, focusing on the published results dealing with Heusler alloy nanowires. The theoretical information inspired the fabrication of novel nanowires that are presented in the results section of the article. Three novel nanowires were fabricated with the compositions of Ni66Fe21Ga13, Ni58Fe28In14, and Ni50Fe31Sn19. The Ni66Fe21Ga13 nanowires were fabricated, aiming to improve the stoichiometry of previous functional Ni-Fe-Ga Heusler nanomaterials with a functional behavior above room temperature. They exhibit a phase transition at the temperature of ≈375 K, which results in a magnetocaloric response of |ΔSM| ≈ 0.12 J·kg−1·K−1 at the magnetic field change of only μ0ΔH = 1 T. Novel Heusler alloy Ni58Fe28In14 nanowires, as well as Ni50Fe31Sn19 nanowires, are analyzed for the first time, and their magnetic properties are discussed, introducing a simple electrochemical approach for the fabrication of nanodimensional alloys from mutually immiscible metals.
