Role of Mg and In substitution on magnetic, magnetostrictive and dielectric properties of NiFeO ceramics derived from nanopowders.

The effect of Mg2+ and In3+ substitution on the structural, magnetic, magnetostrictive and dielectric properties of NiFe2O4 samples derived through sintering of nanocrystalline ceramic powders is investigated. Namely, NiFe2O4, NiMg0.2Fe1.

Remote control of magnetostriction-based nanocontacts at room temperature.

The remote control of the electrical conductance through nanosized junctions at room temperature will play an important role in future nano-electromechanical systems and electronic devices. This can be achieved by exploiting the magnetostriction effects of ferromagnetic materials. Here we report on the electrical conductance of magnetic nanocontacts obtained from wires of the giant magnetostrictive compound Tb0.
