  • HIGH ANISOTROPY NANOPARTICLES
    Publication number: 20160159653
    Abstract: New nanoparticles are provided which may have blocking temperatures exceeding 570 K even for particles as small as 8 nm in size. First principles theoretical investigations show that the new behavior is rooted in the giant magnetocrystalline anisotropies due to controlled mixing between carbon p-states and cobalt d-states. Furthermore, assemblies of the new nanoparticles may provide rare earth free permanent magnets having magnetic properties which rival those of rare earth permanent magnets.

  • Methods for forming transition metal oxide clusters and smoking articles comprising transition metal oxide clusters
    Publication number: 20050263164
    Abstract: Smoking article components, cigarettes, methods for making cigarettes and methods for smoking cigarettes are provided that use transition metal oxide clusters capable of catalyzing and/or oxidizing the conversion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and/or adsorbing carbon monoxide. Cut filler compositions, cigarette paper and cigarette filter material can comprise transition metal oxide clusters.
