  • Determination of Dy Substitution Site in Nd2-Xdyxfe14b by HAADF-STEM
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Determination of Dy substitution site in Nd 2−xDyxFe14B by HAADF‑STEM and illustration of magnetic anisotropy of “g” and “f” sites, before and after substitution Syed Kamran Haider1,2,3,6, Min‑Chul Kang4,6, Jisang Hong5, Young Soo Kang3*, Cheol‑Woong Yang4* & Dongsoo Kim1,2* Nd2Fe14B and Nd2−xDyxFe14B (x = 0.25, 0.50) particles were prepared by the modifed co‑precipitation followed by reduction–difusion process. Bright feld scanning transmission electron microscope (BF‑STEM) image revealed the formation of Nd–Fe–B trigonal prisms in [− 101] viewing zone axis, confrming the formation of Nd2Fe14B/Nd2−xDyxFe14B. Accurate site for the Dy substitution in N d2Fe14B crystal structure was determined as “f” site by using high‑angle annular dark feld scanning transmission electron microscope (HAADF‑STEM). It was found that all the “g” sites are occupied by the Nd, meanwhile Dy occupied only the “f” site. Anti‑ferromagnetic coupling at “f” site decreased the magnetic moment values for Nd1.75Dy0.25Fe14B (23.48 μB) and Nd1.5Dy0.5Fe14B (21.03 μB) as compared to Nd2Fe14B (25.50 μB). Reduction of magnetic moment increased the squareness ratio, coercivity and energy product. Analysis of magnetic anisotropy at constant magnetic feld confrmed that “f” site substitution did not change the patterns of the anisotropy. Furthermore, magnetic moment of Nd2Fe14B, Nd2−xDyxFe14B, Nd (“f” site), Nd (“g” site) and Dy (“f” site) was recorded for all angles between 0° and 180°. Nd2Fe14B type magnets have the highest recorded maximum energy product (BH)max among permanent magnets1–5.

  • The Curiosity Guide Subject: Magnetism Investigation: 01 Season 1 Ep
    The Curiosity Guide Subject: Magnetism Investigation: 01 Season 1 Ep. 5 (#105) Slow Poke Magnet Description: Magnetism vs Gravity. Who wins? Materials: 3/4 inch copper pipe or tube of aluminum foil (24 inches long) 3 small neodymium magnets that fit just inside the copper pipe by diameter Cushion 3/4 inch PVC tube or plastic conduit (24 inches long) Stopwatch Aluminum cookie sheet Procedure: 1) Hold the magnet 24 inches above the cushion and predict what will happen when the magnet is released 2) Drop the magnet through the plastic tube and time how long it takes to fall through 3) Demonstrate that the magnet does not stick to the copper and discuss that copper is nonmagnetic 4) Drop the magnet through the copper tube and time its travel through the tube 5) Predict what could cause the delayed drop 6) Repeat by dropping both magnets at the same time through the different tubes and notice the differences My Results: Explanation: This phenomenon is known as Lenz’s Law. Moving a magnetic field beside a metal that is nonmagnetic causes the electrons in the metal to move in an attempt to eliminate the magnetic field. As the electrons rearrange it stimulates an electric field and a new magnetic field in the copper. The magnet is then attracted to the new field and begins to slow down gravity’s effect on it falling through the tube. Variation with Cookie Sheet: Place the magnet on the cookie sheet to demonstrate that it is not magnetic. Place the magnet on one side of the cookie sheet and lift it up so that it can slide down.

Abstract Purpose of this research is to find out the effective way to shield the magnets by using two most common available materials that is iron and steel. The material that is available in market they shield less magnetic field and also are costly. If you want to shield the higher magnetic field you have to expense a lot. To shield the magnetic field you have to make the sheet and wrapped it around the magnet, but thickness of shielded plates varies with the type of magnet and the power of magnet. Finally here we have a better material that can shield your magnet and can save your 100s of equipment that you are using.

  • Investigation of the Electrowinning of Neodymium Oxide in Room Temperature Ionic Liquid
    INVESTIGATION OF THE ELECTROWINNING OF NEODYMIUM OXIDE IN ROOM TEMPERATURE IONIC LIQUID by Partaksh Sidhu A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Metallurgical and Materials Engineering). Golden, Colorado Date Signed: ____________________________ Partaksh Sidhu Signed: ____________________________ Dr. Patrick Taylor Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date ______________________________ Signed: ____________________________ Dr. Angus Rockett Professor and Department Head Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering ii ABSTRACT Neodymium has widespread applications in magnets, electronics, optical and laser materials. Currently, neodymium is produced using high-temperature molten salts processes that are very energy intensive and costly. There has been ongoing efforts to develop a technique for production of neodymium from neodymium oxide at low temperatures. Electrowinning technique for reduction of neodymium oxide in room temperature ionic liquid is designed, discussed and evaluated. The chemical process for synthesis of Nd(TFSI)3 from Nd2O3 and hydrogen-cation- based ionic liquid (HTFSI) is described. The electrochemical behavior and the electrodeposition of neodymium in hydrogen-cation-based ionic liquid are investigated. The cyclic voltammetric measurements are conducted and discussed to show one-step reduction of the trivalent neodymium ion in hydrogen-cation-based ionic liquid. The electrodeposition

  • A COVID Curiosity: Transurethral Insertion of Neodymium Magnets in Pediatric Patients
    Case Series Clinics in Surgery Published: 25 May, 2021 A COVID Curiosity: Transurethral Insertion of Neodymium Magnets in Pediatric Patients Shekarriz Arman1, Upadhyay Jyoti2* and Carr Michael2 1Duke University, Pratt School of Engineering, USA 2Children’s Hospital of the Kings Daughters and Eastern Virginia Medical School, USA Abstract Rare-earth metal magnets are a growing problem in the pediatric population with ingestion into the GI tract as the most prominent route. Neodymium magnet transurethral insertion has been reported in 6 pediatric patients in the literature. All of these, except one, have required an open surgical approach for removal. We provide three additional cases, all of whom have behavioral health concerns, with two patients presenting during the COVID-19 pandemic. We describe the use of a self-made magnetic device for successful retrieval of this unique foreign body from the bladder of a pediatric patient. Two patients presented in a timely manner whereas one patient presented during the pandemic but admitted to placing these magnets in his urethra a least one year prior. Clinicians should be aware of the signs and symptoms associated with this rare tendency of transurethral insertion of strong magnets in pediatric patients, the association with behavioral health diagnoses as well as environmental stressors due to the effects of COVID-19 pandemic, which may contribute to this occurrence. Key Points 1) COVID-19 pandemic and other environmental stressors increase the propensity for self- harm in patients with behavioral health disease. 2) Neodymium rare-earth magnets transurethral insertion is increasing in the pediatric population, which are difficult to treat endoscopically.

  • Making and Breaking Magnets
    Making and Breaking Magnets Overview Can you turn a paper clip into a magnet? If you create a magnet, can you then take away the magnetic-ness? The answer to both questions is ‘yes’; let’s investigate how and why. Doing the activity Carefully unwrap the neodymium magnet (keep it away from credit Necessary materials: cards, cell phones, computers, other magnets, etc.); you have two • neodymium magnet* paper clips included in the bag with this magnet. If you just touch the • paper clips paper clips together, can you pick one up using the other? Now, tap *Be careful with this magnet! It’s the end of one of the paper clips against the neodymium magnet very strong, and can wipe credit about 10 times. Try picking up the other paperclip again — what cards, do bad things to cell phones, happens now? If you drop the paper clip you tapped against the break if it “jumps” to a surface, etc. magnet onto a hard surface, does anything change when you try to pick up the other paper clip? What’s happening The paper clips are made of steel, which is ferromagnetic because it contains iron. As we discussed in the Magnetic Surprises activity, ferromagnetic materials aren’t permanent magnets on their own, the way the neodymium magnet is, but they can be magnetized by a strong magnetic field. Ferromagnetic objects contain lots of little magnetic subunits called magnetic domains. When the object isn’t in a magnetic field, these domains aren’t organized in any particular way. The north and south poles of the domains all point in different directions, so overall, the material doesn’t act like a magnet (for more on magnetic poles, see the Refrigerator Magnets activity).
