Published: July 2012

A new two-dimensional micro-flow magnetophoresis device was constructed in a superconducting magnet (10 T) using triangular shaped pole pieces, which could apply a magnetic strength, B(dB/dx), in the range of ca. 0-14,000 T(2) m(-1) across a capillary cell. Polystyrene particles with diameters of 1, 3, and 6 μm were used as test samples in a paramagnetic medium of 1 M MnCl(2) to evaluate the performance of this method. Microparticles migrated across the capillary along the edge of the pole pieces, and then flowed through the gap in the pole piece at a position defined as the migration distance, depending on the magnetic susceptibility and the size of particles as well as the flow rate. The most effective flow rate to exhibit the largest resolution among the particles was theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed. By this method, the magnetic susceptibilities of individual deoxygenated and non-deoxygenated red blood cells were measured from the relative migration distance.

Battery cells based on different silicon/carbon (Si/C) loadings were assembled in this work. Their battery performance, in particular their capacity and cycling stability, was evaluated. The battery was assembled in a way that a pure Li metal counter electrode, LiPF liquid electrolyte and pole piece with Si/C coatings were employed.

Bioaerosol is composed of different particles, originating from organisms, or their fragments with different origin, shape, and size. Sampling, analysing, identification and describing this airborne diversity has been carried out for over 100 years, and more recently the use of molecular genetic tools has been implemented. However, up to now there are no established protocols or standards for detecting airborne diversity of bacteria, fungi, viruses, pollen, and plant particles.

Article Synopsis
  • The article examines how the suspension nozzle used in drying lithium battery pole pieces affects heat transfer and pressure characteristics, which are crucial for optimal production.
  • Through numerical simulations, it compares different nozzle designs—slits, injection holes, and effusion holes—analyzing their velocity, temperature distributions, and pressure coefficients.
  • The findings indicate that while a traditional double-slit nozzle excels at pressure performance, an effusion hole design offers the best overall performance, with key factors like turbulent flow and jet interactions impacting effectiveness.

Polar magneto-optical Kerr effect spectroscopy with a microscope arrangement for studies on 2D materials.

We describe a setup for magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) spectroscopy suitable for Kerr rotation (ϕ) and ellipticity (η) measurement on microscopic samples, such as flakes of two-dimensional materials. A spatial resolution of ∼25μm, limited by the demagnified monochromator exit slit image, was achieved. The use of mirrors allows for measurement in polar MOKE geometry with a conventional electro-magnet, without requiring holes in the magnet pole pieces.
