Could anyone recommend a good, free magnetostatics software package? I am looking to quantify magnetic forces between hard magnets and ferromagnets.

Can gadolinium nanoparticles be synthesized from a chemical process?

I'm looking to synthesize gadolinium nanoparticles - elemental rather than an oxide or compound. A core-shell structure would be ideal in that it could prevent the oxidation of the gadolinium...

What is the physical meaning of the magnetic scalar potential?

In cases where the rotational of the magnetic field H is zero, we can define this field as the gradient of a scalar function defined as the magnetic scalar potential (similar to the electric...

I like to use FEMM (finite element software). http://www.femm.info/wiki/HomePage

Suwat Maneewan

Thank you very much for FEMM software.

Try CAE linux there are many opensource packages with nice user interface... there are absolutely free

David Gray

FEMM looks good. I am checking into it. CAE linux looks very nice as well. I am trying to set up a virtual box to run a Ubuntu install for the software.

Thanks

Try a dual boot its more effective and i know for sure CAE linux 2011 is quite stable because i am using it except for the screen flickering which can be changed by making a few changes to your grub... its your wish anyway..

A few years I have used getdp, which you can find on the site http://www.geuz.org/getdp/ . I used it for 2d and 3d calculations. It takes a little effort to learn, but it works really well and is free AND available for Windows/Mac/Linux.
