“Enhanced magnetic nanostructures for biomedical applications” 

Javier Alonso

(BCMaterials)

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are of great interest for a wide variety of applications, ranging from magnetic recording and data storage to biomedical engineering. Due to their small and controllable sizes (5–100 nm), the MNPs can easily interact with biologically interesting entities.

“Thermally Induced Solid-State SCSC Transformations Promoted by Gradual Dehydration in a Highly Porous Polyoxovanadate Hybrid” 

Jagoba Martín Caballero

(BCMaterials)

Solid state single crystal to single crystal (SCSC) transformations of coordination polymers (CP) have recently acquired a remarkable attention and they turned out to be a promising research field in material science.

“Energy harvesting device based on a metallic glass/PVDF magnetoelectric laminated composite” 

Andoni Lasheras

(UPV/EHU)

A flexible and low cost energy harvester device based on the magnetoelectric (ME) effect has been designed using Fe₆₄Co₁₇Si₇B₁₂ as amorphous magnetostrictive ribbons and PVDF as the piezoelectric element. Sandwich-type laminated composite of 3 cm long has been fabricated by gluing these ribbons to the PVDF with an epoxy resin.

“Magnetic transition induced by mechanical deformation in Fe₆₀Al_40-xSi_x ternary alloys” 

Estibaliz Legarra

(BCMaterials)

Mechanical deformation is known to induce disorder in completely ordered Fe-Al alloys. This effect produces a strong increase in the magnetic properties of these alloys and may even induce ferromagnetic transition in ordered paramagnetic alloys.

“Shape Memory Polymers: gamma irradiated polycyclooctene” 

Nuria García-Huete

(BCMaterials)

José Manuel Barandiaran co-organizes the Characterization Techniques for Magnetic Materials Workshop on March 15th, at Orlando, Florida, USA, in which renowned experts in the field will present the fundamentals of structural, compositional and functional characterization techniques applied to magnetic materials.

“Permalloy nanodisks prepared by colloidal lithography for biomedical applications” 

Maite Goiriena

Magnetic nanoparticles are extensively studied for biomedical applications because their size are comparable to biological entities, while providing remote capabilities of actuation. Disk shaped ferromagnetic nanostructures display an attractive alternative to chemically-synthetized oxide nanoparticles that are used normally.
