    La Organización Mundial de la Salud considera el cambio climático o calentamiento global un problema de salud pública. De esta manera, se hace necesario conocer la percepción del riesgo al cambio climático en las diferentes comunidades para proponer acciones de adaptación y mitigación al cambio climático; pero esa percepción del riesgo puede variar en las diferentes poblaciones. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue observar la percepción de riesgo sobre el cambio climático como una amenaza para la salud humana en Taganga, Santa Marta, 2014. A nivel metodológico se encuestaron 484 personas de la comunidad de Taganga, mediante un muestreo por conglomerado. Se les aplicó el instrumento validado, a nivel internacional y nacional, mediante el alfa de Cronbach y el coeficiente de Kuder-Richardson 20. Entre los índices se aplicó la correlación de Spearman. Como resultados se observó una correlación estadísticamente significativa entre las acciones políticas frente al cambio climático y el índice de percepción de riesgo; y también entre el índice de voluntad para actuar y los índices de percepción de riesgo, conocimiento sobre los efectos en la salud por causa del cambio climático y las acciones políticas frente al cambio climático. En este estudio se concluye que existe una asociación entre el índice de voluntad para actuar y la percepción de riesgo, conocimiento sobre los efectos en la salud por el cambio climático y las acciones políticas frente al cambio climático; igualmente, una asociación entre las acciones políticas frente al cambio climático y la percepción de riesgo.The World Health Organization considers climate change or global warming a problem of public health. Thus it is necessary to know the perception of risk to climate change in different communities to generate actions for adaptation and mitigation to climate change; but that perception of risk may vary in different populations. The objective of this study was to observe the risk perception on climate change as a threat to human health in the town of Taganga, Santa Marta, 2014. In methods, it was surveyed 484 people in Taganga, through a cluster sampling. It was applied the validated instrument, internationally and nationally, through Cronbach's alpha and Kuder-Richardson formula 20. Spearman's correlation was applied. In results, statistically significant correlation was observed between political action on climate change and risk perception index; and also between the index will to act and indices of risk perception, knowledge about the health effects due to climate change and political action on climate change. This study concludes that was observed an association between the index of willingness to act and risk perception, knowledge about the health effects of climate change and political action on climate change; also an association between political action on climate change and risk perception

    Controlling magnetic vortices through exchange bias

    This article may be downloaded for personal use only. Any other use requires prior permission of the author and the American Institute of Physics.The magnetization reversal in Permalloy (Py) and Py-IrMn disks (1μm diameter) is investigated. The Py disks reverse their magnetization via vortex state formation. Conversely, if the Py-IrMn disks are field cooled from above the blocking temperatureTB, a critical angle with respect to the cooling direction is set, beyond which the vortex no longer nucleates. This angle can be experimentally tuned by varying the magnitude of the exchange bias field. Furthermore, the coupling with IrMn can also induce an enhancement of the vortex stability when the disks are zero-field cooled from above TB

    Correlating material-specific layers and magnetic distributions within onion-like Fe 3 O 4 /MnO/ γ- Mn2 O3 core/shell nanoparticles

    This article may be downloaded for personal use only. Any other use requires prior permission of the author and the American Institute of Physics.The magnetic responses of two nanoparticle systems comprised of Fe3 O 4/γ−Mn2O3 (soft ferrimagnetic, FM/hard FM) and Fe3O4/MnO/γ−Mn2 O3 (soft FM / antiferromagnetic, AFM/hard FM) are compared, where the MnO serves to physically decouple the FM layers. Variation in the temperature and applied field allows for Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) measurements of the magnetic moments both parallel and perpendicular to an applied field. Data for the bilayer particle indicate that the graded ferrimagnetic layers are coupled and respond to the field as a single unit. For the trilayer nanoparticles, magnetometry suggests a Curie temperature (TC)≈ 40 K for the outer γ−Mn2O3 component, yet SANS reveals an increase in the magnetization associated with outer layer that is perpendicular to the applied field above TC during magnetic reversal. This result suggests that the γ−Mn2O3 magnetically reorients relative to the applied field as the temperature is increased above 40 K

    Tailoring the magnetization reversal of elliptical dots using exchange bias (invited)

    This article may be downloaded for personal use only. Any other use requires prior permission of the author and the American Institute of Physics.Exchange bias effects have been studied in elliptical dots composed of ferromagnetic Ni80Fe20-antiferromagnetic Ir20Mn80 bilayers. The magnetization reversal mechanisms and magnetic configurations have been investigated by magneto-optic Kerr effect and magnetic force microscopy. Although the obtained bias fields in these dots are relatively small, the magnetization reversal is found to be influenced by the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic coupling. Namely, for some off-axis angles of measurement, the magnetization reversal mechanism of the Ni80Fe20-Ir20Mn80 ellipses depends on whether exchange bias is induced along the minor or major axis of the ellipses. Hence, exchange bias is shown to be an effective means for tailoring the magnetization reversal of elliptical dots after sample fabrication

    Magnetic proximity effect features in antiferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic core-shell nanoparticles

    Get PDF
    A study of "inverted" core-shell, MnO/γ-Mn2O3, nanoparticles is presented. Crystal and magnetic structures and characteristic sizes have been determined by neutron diffraction for the antiferromagnetic core (MnO) and the ferrimagnetic shell (γ-Mn2O3). Remarkably, while the MnO core is found to have a TN not far from its bulk value, the magnetic order of the γ-Mn2O3 shell is stable far above TC, exhibiting two characteristic temperatures, at T~ 40  K [TC(γ-Mn2O3)] and at T~120  K [~ TN(MnO)]. Magnetization measurements are consistent with these results. The stabilization of the shell moment up to TN of the core can be tentatively attributed to core-shell exchange interactions, hinting at a possible magnetic proximity effect

    Direct evidence of imprinted vortex states in the antiferromagnet of exchange biased microdisks

    This article may be downloaded for personal use only. Any other use requires prior permission of the author and the American Institute of Physics.The magnetic domain structure of patterned antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic Ir20Mn80/Ni80Fe20 bilayer microdisk arrays has been investigated using layer-specific polarized x-ray photoemission electron microscopy and magnetic circular dichroism. Magnetic imaging at the Fe and Mn L-edge resonances provided direct evidence of a vortex state imprinted into the antiferromagnet at the interface. The opposite magnetic contrast between the layers indicated a reversed chirality of the imprinted vortex state, and a quantitative analysis of the magnetic moment from the dichroism spectra showed that uncompensated Mn spins equivalent to about 60% of a monolayer of bulk Ir20Mn80 contributed to the imprinted information at the interface

    Origin of the large dispersion of magnetic properties in nanostructured oxides: FexO/Fe3O4 nanoparticles as a case study

    Get PDF
    The intimate relationship in transition-metal oxides between stoichiometry and physiochemical properties makes them appealing as tunable materials. These features become exacerbated when dealing with nanostructures. However, due to the complexity of nanoscale materials, establishing a distinct relationship between structure-morphology and functionalities is often complicated. In this regard, in the FexO/Fe3O4 system a largely unexplained broad dispersion of magnetic properties has been observed. Here we show, thanks to a comprehensive multi-technique approach, a clear correlation between magneto-structural properties in large (45 nm) and small (9 nm) FexO/Fe3O4 core/shell nanoparticles that can explain the spread of magnetic behaviors. The results reveal that while the FexO core in the large nanoparticles is antiferromagnetic and has bulk-like stoichiometry and unit-cell parameters, the FexO core in the small particles is highly non-stoichiometric and strained, displaying no significant antiferromagnetism. These results highlight the importance of ample characterization to fully understand the properties of nanostructured metal oxide
