Cluster-Assembled Soft Magnets for Power Electronics Applications

摘要

This project used inert-gas condensation (IGC) to fabricate model nanostructured systems with the goal of better understanding the mechanisms responsible for decreasing the coercivity in soft magnetic materials. A new model system, Gd-Fe, was developed and investigated using IGC and melt spinning techniques. Atomic-level structural data acquired with synchrotron techniques was correlated to the magnetic properties of the materials.
