    studying novel spin based semiconductor device structures and magnetic material semiconductor hybrid structures. We can create spin polarization using many methods, that will lead to hole induced ferromagnetism in the case of InAs and GaAs alloyed with Mn [1]. This made it possible to integrate ferromagnetism with existing nonmagnetic Ill-V heterostructures. Carrier concentration has been modulated using insulating gate field-effect transistor structure and we were able to realize reversible electrical

    Magnets objects have always caused man to question and wonder what they can be used for. Magnetic object are magnetic because their materials physical make up. The objects magnetic ability depends upon the composition of the material and the other parts of the object that is non magnetic. Magnets are any object with a magnetic field. A magnet has two ends called poles , the north end and the south end. The north pole of one magnet attracts to the south end of another magnet. Opposite poles attract

  • Magnets

    Introduction Magnets are stones that produce magnetic fields. The magnetic field is invisible, but is responsible for the most noticeable aspect of a magnet: the attraction of a metal object or the repulsion of another magnet. Magnets are used in common everyday household items: credit cards, TVs, speakers, motors, and compasses. A magnets strength is measured by its magnetic moment. (“Magnetism”) How did it all begin? There are legends surrounding the discovery of magnets. One of the more common

    Figure 1 shows the temperature dependence of magnetization in Gd5Si2Ge2 compound at and at atmospheric pressure. Open symbols are the experimental data and the solid symbols represent the theoretical curve. The circles are for sample heating and triangles are for sample cooling. The value of saturation magnetization at 8 K in the theoretical curve was normalized with the experimental data. The values of and were adjusted according to the critical temperatures from the M vs. T curves (Fig. 1)

  • Experimental Research: Magnets and Temperature

    685 Words  | 2 Pages

    INTRODUCTION Magnets are everywhere! They are in telephones, computers, stereos, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, washing machines, cars, compasses, TVs, VCRs, your doorbell and many other places. The earth itself is also a magnet. The Greeks discovered a mineral over 2,000 years ago that attracted things that were made of iron. This mineral was found in a part of Turkey that was called Magnesia, so they called it magnetite. A magnet is any material that attracts iron or things made of iron.

  • Magnetic Susceptibility Essay

    657 Words  | 2 Pages

    The magnetic susceptibility χ (=M/H) (FC and ZFC) as a function of temperature measured at low applied field (H=50 Oe) is presented in Fig.5. The molar susceptibility shows a monotonic increase upon cooling down to ~ 22 K, where a steeper increase is observed. Below this temperature a bifurcation between the ZFC and the FC curves is evident (see inset of Fig.5. On the other and above 22 K the reciprocal magnetic susceptibility (1/χ) as a function of temperature shows a linear trend (Fig. 5 right

    What are magnets ? A magnet is an object ( typically a material with metallic properties ( ferrous ) that emits a magnetic field and attracts other iron objects or aligns itself with another’s external magnetic field, produced by the alignment of its internal component atoms. This is one of the worlds biggest phenomenons, we know how they work, but it is confusing to understand the invisible power of them. Did you know that the earth is a giant magnet! How were they discovered ? In the early days

    have persistent magnetic moments which interact with external magnetic fields resulting in attractive or repulsive behavior. These materials have intrinsic magnetic domains aligned in a pattern and owe this behavior due a phenomenon known as ferromagnetism. Most materials do not have permanent magnetic moments and are either attracted or repelled by a magnetic field. Materials that are attracted

  • Misconceptions Regarding the Magnetic and Electric Polarization

    1096 Words  | 3 Pages

    Polarization is the separation of the negative and positive charges within an atomic object, a nuclear, and a chemical system. Through induction, the movement of electrons within an object mixes. The system or the object is has an excess of the negative electrons concentrated on one side while the other side has a concentration of positive electrons. This leads to concentration of the opposite charges on different ends of the object (Askeland and Pradeep 116). This paper studies the misconceptions

  • The Earth Magnetic Field

    1754 Words  | 4 Pages

    It’s the magnetic field that extends from the earth’s interior to where it meets the solaria stream of charged particles emanating from the sun. The magnetic field resembles the field of a large bar magnet near its center or that due to a uniformly magnetized sphere. Its origin is thought to be generated deep down in the earth’s core. At the surface of the earth, the pole of this equivalent bar magnet, nearest the north geographical pole is actually a south” magnetic pole. This paradoxical situation

    A magnet is any object that exhibits magnetic properties by attracting iron-containing objects and by creating a magnetic field. During 600 B.C. the Greeks were the first to use magnets when they encountered a mysterious stone that attracted iron and other similar material. Magnets attract ferrous objects such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and steel (How Magnets Work). Every magnet has a north and a south pole. The end that points to the North is called the North Pole while the pole that points South

  • Lithium Essay

    1349 Words  | 3 Pages

    ike the other alkali metals, lithium has a single valence electron that is easily given up to form a cation. Because of this, it is a good conductor of heat and electricity as well as a highly reactive element, though the least reactive of the alkali metals. Lithium's low reactivity compared to other alkali metals is due to the proximity of its valence electron to its nucleus (the remaining two electrons are in lithium's 1s orbital and are much lower in energy, and therefore they do not participate

  • The Application of Paleomagnetism

    1671 Words  | 4 Pages

    Paleomagnetism is defined as the study of the record of the Earth’s ancient magnetic field using igneous and sedimentary rocks. It has been instrumental for our understanding of how planet Earth operates and is one of the cornerstones of plate tectonic theory. When rocks form, they record the direction, polarity, and absolute or relative intensity of the Earth’s magnetic field, which can be extracted with paleomagnetic methods. Paleomagnetism has several applications, most importantly it is used
