--- _id: '656' abstract: - lang: eng text: Electrospinning can be used to create nanofibers with diameters of typically a few tens to a few hundred nanometers. While pure polymers are often electrospun, it is also possible to use polymer blends or to include nanoparticles. In this way, e.g., magnetic nanofiber networks can be created with a certain diameter distribution, random fiber orientations, and random crossing positions and angles. Here we present for the first time micromagnetic simulations of small parts of stochastically oriented nanofiber networks. Magnetization reversal mechanisms are investigated for different local spatial distributions; mutual influences of neighboring magnetic fibers due to dipolar interactions are depicted. This study serves as a base for the possible use of such stochastic nanofiber networks in the research area of neuro-inspired materials. article_number: '738' author: - first_name: Tomasz full_name: Blachowicz, Tomasz last_name: Blachowicz - first_name: Christoph full_name: Döpke, Christoph last_name: Döpke - first_name: Andrea full_name: Ehrmann, Andrea last_name: Ehrmann date_created: 2021-01-03T16:33:21Z date_updated: 2021-01-18T15:32:28Z ddc: - '620' department: - _id: '103' doi: 10.3390/nano10040738 file: - access_level: open_access content_type: application/pdf creator: aehrmann date_created: 2021-01-03T16:32:56Z date_updated: 2021-01-03T16:32:56Z file_id: '657' file_name: _2020_Blachowicz_Nanomaterials10_738.pdf file_size: 4617793 relation: main_file success: 1 file_date_updated: 2021-01-03T16:32:56Z funded_apc: '1' has_accepted_license: '1' intvolume: ' 10' issue: '4' keyword: - micromagnetic simulation - magnetic nanofiber networks - magnetization reversal - electrospinning - iron language: - iso: eng oa: '1' publication: Nanomaterials publication_identifier: issn: - 2079-4991 publication_status: published quality_controlled: '1' status: public title: Micromagnetic Simulations of Chaotic Ferromagnetic Nanofiber Networks type: journal_article user_id: '223776' volume: 10 year: '2020' ...
