Plate-like nanomagnets for new advanced materials

In this contribution we present our original approach for the synthesis of hexaferrite plate-like nanomagnets, including the possibilities for tuning different interparticle forces that allowed for the development of self-biased thick films, new magneto-optic composites and ferromagnetic suspensions. A specific role of the magnetocrystalline and shape anisotropy of these nanomagnets for the realization of the new advanced material will be elucidated and their potential applications will be presented.

Hexaferrite nanomagnets

In this contribution the mechanisms for the synthesis of hexaferrite magnetic nanoplates, and development of electrosteric stabilization in alcohols is presented. A specific role of the magnetocrystalline and shape anisotropy of these nanomagnets for the realization of the new advanced material will be elucidated and their potential applications will be presented.

Magnetic domains in ferromagnetic chiral liquid crystals

We presented a comparative study of magnetic domain formation and their transformation under magnetic field in ferromagnetic nematic and chiral nematic liquid crystal. We found out that in a nematic LC the domain growth is isotropic, while in chiral they tend to grow in lines. In addition it was observed that chiral order suppresses growth of the magnetic domains.
