ANTIGRANULOCYTES MAGNETIC SOLIDS

Granular metals consist of nanometer size metal granules embedded in an immiscible medium. They display a rich variety of physical properties as a result of their unique nanostructure and extra degrees of freedom. They are also suitable for the exploration of finite-size effects, enhanced and tailored properties of fundamental interest, and for technological applications. Granular magnetic solids of elemental metals and alloys will be discussed. Single-domain characteristics, superparamagnetic relaxation, enhanced ferromagnetic properties, granular alloys, and spin glasses are some of the topics covered.
