Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe2O4) are well known for some distinctive characteristics such as high magnetic permeability and coercive force, good saturation magnetization, excellent physical, and chemical stability, which make them so attractive for magnetic storage, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), drug delivery, optical-magnetic equipment, radar absorbing materials...

BaCo(2)Sn(4)O(11) is isotypic with R-ferrite, BaTi(2)Fe(4)O(11). The Co atoms fully occupy trigonal-bipyramidal sites () and are disordered with Sn atoms in octa-hedral sites (.2/m symmetry), as represented in the formula BaCoSn(2)(Co(0.34)Sn(0.66))(4)O(11). Ba atoms are situated in a 12-fold coordinated site ( symmetry).

Introduction Magnetic oxide nanomaterials, including iron oxide (Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3), spinel ferrites (MFe2O4; M=Mn, Zn, Cr, Ni, or Co) and hexagonal ferrite (MFe12O19, M=Ba and Sr) are attracting much attention due to their wide application potentials in advanced magnets, electronic devices, information storage, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and drug-delivery technology [1-6]. Hence, the sy...

Magnetotactic bacteria produce exquisitely ordered chains of uniform magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanocrystals, and the use of the bacterial mms6 protein allows for the shape-selective synthesis of Fe(3)O(4) nanocrystals. Cobalt ferrite (CoFe(2)O(4)) nanoparticles, on the other hand, are not known to occur in living organisms. Here we report on the use of the recombinant mms6 protein in a templated sy...

The OER activity of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles depends on the degree Co redox and its change in coordination.

sio2-coated cobalt ferrite (cofe2o4) nanoparticles were obtained by the hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate in the presence of cofe2o4 nanoparticles in co-precipitation. the effects of sio2coating on the magnetic properties of cofe2o4 nanoparticles were investigated. the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of as-prepared sample were characterization by x-ray diffraction (xrd), f...

The temperature dependence of core loss in cobalt substituted Ni-Zn-Cu ferrites was investigated. Co ions are known to lead to a compensation of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy in Ni-Zn ferrites, at a temperature depending on the cobalt content and the Ni / Zn ratio. We observed similar behaviour in Ni-Zn-Cu and it was found that the core loss goes through a minimum around this magneto-crysta...

For spintronic devices excited by a sudden magnetic or optical perturbation, the torque acting on the magnetization plays a key role in its precession and damping. However, the torque itself can be a dynamical quantity via the time-dependent anisotropies of the system. A challenging problem for applications is then to disentangle the relative importance of various sources of anisotropies in the...

We report the preparation of (111) preferentially oriented CoFe2O4 thin films on Pt(111)/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates using a spin-coating process. The post-annealing conditions and film thickness were varied for cobalt ferrite (CFO) thin films, and Pt/CFO/Pt structures were prepared to investigate the resistance switching behaviors. Our results showed that resistance switching without a forming pro...
