Magnetic standard

Mercury(ii) cobalt tetrathiocyanate, as recommended by Figgis and Nyholm, was used as the magnetic standard. The same tube was used for the sample and standard, and corrections were made to take account of the weight changes due to it the empty tube correction was obtained for the complete temperature range. 

Magnetic measurements were made, with a 0.2265 g sample, over the temperature range 5 to 98.5 K using a Princeton Applied Research Corporation vibrating sample magnetometer. The magnetic standard was HgCo(NCS)4. 

The total amount of moisture lost in TGA experiments is not affected by the heating rate, however, the temperature at which it occurs may vary (Figure 3.23). In addition, the dehydration mechanism and activation of the reaction maybe dependent on the particle size and sample weight (Agbada and York 1994). The TGA is calibrated using magnetic standards.

When a solution of a nickel salt is treated with diaminoethane, coordinated water is replaced by the chelating ligand. When the molar ration is 1 3, three ligand molecules replace the six water molecules. The complex cation formed can be precipitated by thiosulphate. The crystalline product is not hygroscopic and has no water of crystallisation and is a suitable magnetic standard. 

Table VI indicates suitable materials recommended for use as magnetic standards. McGhie and co-workers have introduced another method for calibration of TG balance termtdfusible linktemperature calibration. In this method loops of metal are attached to the sample part of the TG balance. At their melting point these links condense to a liquid and fall off the balance (to be collected in a suitable container). The melting point is thus recorded as a sudden loss in weight. Table VII lists suitable materials for this method.

The publication of interstate Standard GOST 30415-96" Steel. Non-destructive inspection of mechanical properties and microstructure of metal products by magnetic method" - is the long-expected event for works laboratories and development engineers of non-destructive test means. 

The Standard covers bar, plates, sheets, strip, structural shapes rolled stock, pipes, sheets with laminar coating and strip of carbon, alloyed and electrical steels and sets up nondestructive magnetic method of mechanical and service properties and microstructure control. 

The basic condition of the Standard application - the availability of stable coupled probabilistic or the multiple probabilistic relations between then controlled quality indexes and magnetic characteristics of steel. All the probabilistic estimates, used in the Standard, are applied at confidence level not less than 0,95. General requirements to the means of control and procedure of its performance are also stipulated. Engineers of standard development endeavoured take into consideration the existed practice of technical control performance and test at the enterprises that is why the preparation of object control for the performance of nondestructive test can be done during the process of ordinary acceptance test. It is suggested that every enterprise is operated in correspondence with direct and non-destructive tests, obtained exactly at it, for detailed process chart and definite product type, however the tests have long since been performed after development of the Standard displayed that process gives way to unification. 

Calibration procedure bases on rope specimens and corresponds to the Standard Pratice ASTM 1574. It takes a piece of the rope under test having a nominal metallic cross-section area (LMA=0) to set zero point of the instrument. Rope section with the LMA value known is used to set the second point of LMA calibration charactiristics. It is possible to use the air point calibration when there is no rope in a magnetic head (LMA=100%). 

With a standard image intensifier, characterized by a gain of more than x10,000, the quantum well effect is clearly avoided. Nevertheless this very high gain reduces the image dynamics unless strong attenuation is introduced at the tube output (iris or neutral filter). Also a standard intensifier is bulky, affected by pincushion distortion and magnetic fields which can be a serious limitation in some applications. 

The method was applied for determination of the quality of the detection media on test pieces following the type testing of the European standard [4] in order to check the validity of the method. The other application was the determination of the visibility in dependance of the variations of the inspection parameters (application of the detection medium, magnetization, inclination, viewing conditions) in a range which may appear in the practical inspections. The results leads to conclusions on the visibility level which is a measure of the probability of recognition for the indication that means of the reliability of the method. 

For produetion eontrol of small diameter nozzle welds a magnetic wheel scarmer has been build (Figure 4). One standard motor module drives the magnetic wheel and one standard motor module drives the Y-module slide. The two motors are connected to the Master Module. The scanner is controlled from a FORCE Institute PSP-3 ultrasonic acquisition unit with build-in scarmer controller. 

The standard analytic treatment of the Ising model is due to Landau (1937). Here we follow the presentation by Landau and Lifschitz [H], which casts the problem in temis of the order-disorder solid, but this is substantially the same as the magnetic problem if the vectors are replaced by scalars (as the Ising model assumes). The themiodynamic...

The low MW power levels conuuonly employed in TREPR spectroscopy do not require any precautions to avoid detector overload and, therefore, the fiill time development of the transient magnetization is obtained undiminished by any MW detection deadtime. (3) Standard CW EPR equipment can be used for TREPR requiring only moderate efforts to adapt the MW detection part of the spectrometer for the observation of the transient response to a pulsed light excitation with high time resolution. (4) TREPR spectroscopy proved to be a suitable teclmique for observing a variety of spin coherence phenomena, such as transient nutations [16], quantum beats [17] and nuclear modulations [18], that have been usefi.il to interpret EPR data on light-mduced spm-correlated radical pairs. 

In addition to tire standard model systems described above, more exotic particles have been prepared witli certain unusual properties, of which we will mention a few. For instance, using seeded growtli teclmiques, particles have been developed witli a silica shell which surrounds a core of a different composition, such as particles witli magnetic [12], fluorescent [13] or gold cores [14]. Anotlier example is tliat of spheres of polytetrafluoroetliylene (PTFE), which are optically anisotropic because tire core is crystalline [15].
