Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Nanocomposite magnetic materials, methods of manufacturing nanocomposite magnetic materials, and magnetic devices and systems using these nanocomposite magnetic materials are described. A nanocomposite magnetic material can be formed using an electro-infiltration process where nanomaterials (synthesized with tailored size, shape, magnetic properties, and surface chemistries) are infiltrated by electroplated magnetic metals after consolidating the nanomaterials into porous microstructures on planar substrates. The nanomaterials may be considered the inclusion phase, and the magnetic metals may be considered the matrix phase of the multi-phase nanocomposite.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A nanocomposite magnetic material, comprising: a magnetic electroplated metal matrix phase; and an inclusion phase of nanomaterials bound by the magnetic metal matrix phase, wherein the metal matrix phase is electrically connected to a conductive surface under the metal matrix phase, and wherein the inclusion phase comprises nanomaterials of a metal alloy with a dielectric shell. 2. The nanocomposite magnetic material of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic metal matrix phase comprises a soft magnetic material, and wherein the soft magnetic material comprises at least one of the following: Ni; Fe; Co; Ni—Fe alloy; and Co—Fe alloy. 3. The nanocomposite magnetic material of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic metal matrix phase comprises a hard magnetic material, and wherein the hard magnetic material comprises at least one alloy selected from Co—Ni, Co—Pt, Fe—Pt, Nd—Fe—B, and Sm—Co. 4. The nanocomposite magnetic material of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic metal matrix phase comprises a magnetostrictive material. 5. The nanocomposite magnetic material of claim 1 , wherein the inclusion phase has a fill fraction of 20-65% by volume. 6. The nanocomposite magnetic material of claim 1 , wherein the inclusion phase has a fill fraction of 60-95% by volume. 7. The nanocomposite magnetic material of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the nanocomposite magnetic material is in a range of about 100 nm to about 500 μm.
