IN a salt of the iron group, though the spin angular momentum of the paramagnetic ion is not directly affected by the crystalline electric fields acting on the ion, yet indirectly it is, owing to its ...

MEASUREMENTS have been made on the principal magnetic susceptibilities of single crystals of a large number of paramagnetic salts of the iron group, from room temperature down to about 80° K. A ...

Researchers have tested a new approach to fabricating spin valves. Using ion beams, they structured an iron aluminum alloy in such a way as to subdivide the material into individually magnetizable ...

In this interview, Joerg Koehler, Head of Business Unit Industrial at Bruker BioSpin talks to AZoM about the benefits of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and what is it used for. What is Electron ...

Local thermal perturbations of spins in a solid can convert heat to energy even in a paramagnetic material -- where spins weren't thought to correlate long enough to do so. This effect, which the ...

Researchers have used the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center inside a single nanodiamond for quantum sensing to overcome the problem of random particle rotation. Their study is published in Nature ...

Today we commonly encounter contactless RFID chips in a number of products, but can similar technology be implemented at the molecular level? The answer is yes. The principle of molecular encoding ...

In this editorial, Enrico Ravera gives an overview of the use of paramagnetic metals in NMR and explains how this can provide crucial information about the structure and dynamics of proteins, nucleic ...

Scientists encased nanodiamonds in tiny moving droplets of water to improve quantum sensing. The new technique lets researchers detect trace amounts of certain ions and molecules. (Nanowerk News) ...

Oxidative damage is thought to underlie many age-related disorders of the eye, and can be caused by oxidative molecules as well as photooxidation from UV light. The risk of AMD increases with exposure ...

Metal-ion batteries have changed our everyday lives. The research on the electrode materials for metal-ion batteries is the key to improving the performance of the battery. Magnetic resonance, ...

Teams led by Prof. DU Jiangfeng, Prof. SHI Fazhan and Prof. KONG Fei from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) used the Nitrogen-Vacancy ...
