Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses01:20

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses

483
As discussed in previous lessons, strain energy in a material is the energy stored when it is elastically deformed, a concept crucial in materials science and mechanical engineering. This energy results from the internal work done against the cohesive forces within the material. When a material undergoes shearing stress and corresponding shearing strain, the strain energy density, which is the energy stored per unit volume, is calculated. Within the elastic limit, where the stress is...

Ferromagnetism

Materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt consist of magnetic domains, within which the magnetic dipoles are arranged parallel to each other. The magnetic dipoles are rigidly aligned in the same direction within a domain by quantum mechanical coupling among the atoms. This coupling is so strong that even thermal agitation at room temperature cannot break it. The result is that each domain has a net dipole moment. However, some materials have weaker coupling, and are ferromagnetic at lower...

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity

Deformation occurs in axial and transverse directions when an axial load is applied to a slender bar. This deformation impacts the cubic element within the bar, transforming it into either a rectangular parallelepiped or a rhombus, contingent on its orientation. This transformation process induces shearing strain. Axial loading elicits both shearing and normal strains. Applying an axial load instigates equal normal and shearing stresses on elements oriented at a 45° angle to the load axis.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability01:31

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability

2.3K
In linear magnetic materials, like paramagnets and diamagnets, magnetization is proportional to the magnetic field intensity. The constant of proportionality, a dimensionless number, is called magnetic susceptibility. The value of the susceptibility depends on the type of material.
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...

Shearing Strain01:20

Shearing Strain

1.3K
The shearing strain represents a cubic element's angular change when subjected to shearing stress. This type of stress can transform a cube into an oblique parallelepiped without influencing normal strains. The cubic element experiences a significant transformation when exposed solely to shearing stress. Its shape alters from a perfect cube into a rhomboid, clearly demonstrating the effect of shearing strain. The degree of this strain is considered positive if it reduces the angle between the...

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Magnetoelectric coupling is crucial for device applications, often mediated by elastic interactions between ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials.
  • Epitaxial iron films on barium titanate substrates exhibit magnetoelastic coupling influenced by shear strain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interfacial magnetoelastic coupling in ultrathin epitaxial iron films on barium titanate substrates.
  • To understand the interplay between magnetocrystalline anisotropy and epitaxial shear strain in determining magnetization alignment.

Main Methods:

  • PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) was used to visualize ferroic domains in iron and barium titanate.
  • Micromagnetic simulations were employed to model the magnetic behavior and coupling mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • An inverted interfacial magnetoelastic coupling was observed in the low-dimensional limit.
  • Magnetocrystalline anisotropy and epitaxial shear strain were found to compete, aligning the magnetization of iron films with the barium titanate's in-plane polarization.
  • Poling the barium titanate substrate to create c-domains (with minimal shear strain) resulted in a ~45° rotation of the local magnetization.

Conclusions:

  • The study reveals a novel inverted magnetoelastic coupling mechanism in ultrathin films.
  • Controlling shear strain offers a new strategy for designing and tuning magnetoelectric devices by manipulating magnetization orientation.
