内容摘要:

Non-magnetic materials such as water, polymers, proteins, cells, ceramics, etc. (these are mostly diamagnetic) are considered not to be affected by magnetic fields. However, they do respond to the magnetic field though their response is very small. By using strong magnetic fields or with appropriate experimental setups, the effect of magnetic fields on non-magnetic materials can be made visible and utilized.

In this seminar, Prof. Kimura begins with the basic principle describing why particles can align under magnetic fields, followed by some examples including the magnetic alignments of semi-crystalline polymers, liquid crystals of cellulosic materials, organic and inorganic microcrystals, etc. Prof. Kimura will also talk about X-ray diffraction from the magnetically oriented microcrystals, which is useful to perform the single crystal analyses from microcrystalline powders.

报告人简介

Prof. Tsunehisa Kimura is a professor at the Kyoto University. Prof. Kimura received his Ph.D. from Kyoto University in 1981. His major interest is magnetic processing of soft materials such as organic materials, polymers, biomaterials, cellulose and carbon materials and so on. He received “The Award of the Society of Polymer Science” in Japan in 2001 based on his outstanding contribution to magneto-science and polymer science. His current research interests include visualization and utilizing the effect of magnetic fields on non-magnetic materials.
