Ferrite-Piezoelectric Multilayers for Magnetic Field Sensors

A magnetic field sensor based on magnetoelectric effects in a ferrite-piezoelectric layered sample is proposed. Such sensors are passive, provide direct conversion of magnetic fields into an electrical signal, and allow measurements of both ac and dc magnetic fields. A multilayer sample of nickel zinc ferrite-lead zirconate titanate has been used to characterize the sensor response to ac and dc fields, field orientations, frequency, and temperature. The sample shows a linear response for dc fields up to a maximum of 1750 Oe. The sensor output is temperature independent over 273–337 K, but is dependent on frequency of the ac excitation field. Operating at electromechanical resonance for the element enhances the sensor sensitivity by an order of magnitude. For ac magnetic field sensors, the output varies linearly with amplitude.

Chromogenic Photonic Crystal Sensors Enabled by Multistimuli‐Responsive Shape Memory Polymers

Here novel chromogenic photonic crystal sensors based on smart shape memory polymers (SMPs) comprising polyester/polyether‐based urethane acrylates blended with tripropylene glycol diacrylate are reported, which exhibit nontraditional all‐room‐temperature shape memory (SM) effects. Stepwise recovery of the collapsed macropores with 350 nm diameter created by a “cold” programming process leads to easily perceived color changes that can be correlated with the concentrations of swelling analytes in complex, multicomponent nonswelling mixtures. High sensitivity (as low as 10 ppm) and unprecedented measurement range (from 10 ppm to 30 vol%) for analyzing ethanol in octane and gasoline have been demonstrated by leveraging colorimetric sensing in both liquid and gas phases. Proof‐of‐concept tests for specifically detecting ethanol in consumer medical and healthcare products have also been demonstrated. These sensors are inexpensive, reusable, durable, and readily deployable with mobile platforms for quantitative analysis. Additionally, theoretical modeling of solvent diffusion in macroporous SMPs provides fundamental insights into the mechanisms of nanoscopic SM recovery, which is a topic that has received little examination. These novel sensors are of great technological importance in a wide spectrum of applications ranging from environmental monitoring and workplace hazard identification to threat detection and process/product control in chemical, petroleum, and pharmaceutical industries.

Magnetic Field Effects in Crystal Field Excitations and Sound Velocity in Paramagnetic Insulators

Structural phase transitions from tetragonal to monoclinic crystal symmetry induced by an external magnetic field are studied on the basis of a simple three-level model. It is argued that the model is capable of describing the phenomena in f-electrons rare earth insulators and solid oxygen. The applied theoretical method is the equation of motion for the spin and phonon Green functions. The width of the crystal-field excitation line and the soft-mode phonon velocity are numerically studied and presented in diagrams.
