Intermag 2024 will host a Magnetism as Art Showcase to highlight the beauty of magnetism and magnetic materials. Submissions will be displayed on the Conference website, Social Media pages, and virtual platform. Additionally, submitted images may appear in the IEEE Magnetics Society Newsletter, and other communication platforms, where the author's name will be indicated. Four finalists will be selected by a panel of judges, and the winner will be selected by popular vote. The four finalists will be displayed onsite in Rio de Janeiro.
Winner Magnetic Love Description
This is the STEM image of a sample of 10 nm diameter magnetite nanoparticles that have been arranged in a heart shape on the microscopy grid. These nanoparticles are being studied to develop a cancer treatment through magnetic hyperthermia.
Finalist Stuck in a Moment Description
These are hard magnetic NdFeB microparticles produced by gas atomization. Such particles are well-suited for additive manufacturing of permanent magnets because their spherical shape ensures good flowability. These NdFeB microparticles are ‘stuck in a moment’ (actually stuck on a carbon tape) and can't get out of it.
Finalist Nanoparticles from Ipanema Description
The original image was acquired through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and captures magnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles covered with oleic acid. Clusters of nanoparticles were colored to resemble the sea and the oleic acid layer that envelops the cluster represents foam from the waves crashing into the sand, which is actually the amorphous carbon layer from the TEM grid. This artistic transformation was inspired by the venue of Intermag 2024 and its renowned beaches.
Finalist NanoGhosts Description
This haunting image captures the secrets of nano-scale topography through atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging. A thin layer of 20 nm of permanent alloy (Ni80Fe20), a ferromagnetic material commonly used in magnetic sensors due to its low coercive field and high anisotropic magnetoresistance ratio (AMR), is enigmatically revealed. While investigating the effect of a metallic buffer (5 nm W) and/or an external magnetic field applied during deposition, this spectral image of only 0.2 nanometers of roughness is unveiled, reminiscent of ghosts evoking unknown magnetic intrigue.
Symmetry and Beauty Magnetic Dipole Description
The image of magnetic dipole illustrates symmetry of current density vector and magnetic field vector.
Magnetic Dragon, the mythical and legendary creature revered around the world for its magical powers. Relationship to Magnetism and Magnetic Materials: we chemically synthesized the Nickel nanochain to resemble a voracious dragon roaming the Earth.
Magnetic Jellyfish Description
The original image was acquired through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and captures magnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles, some of them with a core-shell structure. A colored gradient was added to evoke the view from the depths of the ocean and further coloring was applied to the magnetic nanoparticles to highlight their similarity with jellyfish.
Spring's captivating beauty: A magnetic bird's vibrant melody amidst nature's colorful symphony Description
"Exploring the Artistry of Magnetism: A Captivating Portrait of Exfoliated Fe4GeTe2 Nanoflake" behold the mesmerizing capture of a meticulously exfoliated 2D magnetic material, Fe4GeTe2, delicately transferred onto a Si/SiO2 substrate and coated with PMMA resist to safeguard against environmental oxidation. Under the discerning gaze of FESEM microscopy, this magnetic masterpiece unveils a captivating scene reminiscent of nature's vibrant symphony in spring. In the midst of the intricate layers, the magnetic material emerges as the focal point, akin to a magnetic bird singing its melody amidst a vibrant and colorful landscape. This portrayal not only showcases the inherent beauty of magnetism but also serves as a harmonious convergence of science and art, inviting viewers to marvel at the intricate dance of magnetic forces within the confines of a captivating artistic composition.
Cycloidal Nanopetals Description
The image shows the magnetic structure of a freestanding thin film of multiferroic bismuth ferrite with a square nanoisland of increased thickness. Bismuth ferrite exhibits ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism at room temperature with non-collinear magnetic ordering in the form of a spin cycloid with a period of 64 nm. The cycloid is evident as a stripy pattern in the image. Confinement in the nanoisland causes the ferroelectric polarization to point inwards in four domains, whereas the cycloid propagates orthogonally around the square (in red), which resembles the petals of a dogwood flower.
Bird's-Eye View: Magnetic Coastal Highway and Sea Panorama Description
In the field of magnetism, calibrating an electromagnet with a Hall sensor is essential for achieving accurate experiments. The image I'm submitting depicts the z-component of the magnetic field (Bz) in the x-y plane, with dark blue indicating negative values and yellow indicating positive values of Bz. This image was created from data gathered during the calibration of a GMW projection field electromagnet. The purpose was to find the magnet's "home position," where the z-component of the magnetic field, as measured by the Hall sensor, is negligible. I call this image "Bird's-Eye View: Magnetic Coastal Highway and Sea Panorama." In this creative representation, dark blue represents the deep sea level, yellow corresponds to the highway in relation to the sea level, and green represents a family of trees around the highway, where Bz values are zero. This artistic interpretation adds a unique layer of visual interest to the calibration process. So please, enjoy your magnetic ride with a scenic coastal view, and may your measurements be accurate!
