Nano-sized crystallites of iron oxide were synthesized by cost effective co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction pattern indicated that the magnetic nanoparticles were pure Fe3O4 with a spinel structure. The nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectra, Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and magnetization measurement of the nanop...

Next generation magnetic microwave devices will be planar, smaller, weigh less, and perform well beyond the present state-of-the-art. For this to become a reality advances in ferrite materials must first be realized. These advances include self-bias magnetization, tunability of the magnetic anisotropy, low microwave loss, and volumetric and weight reduction. To achieve these goals one must turn...

Long range dipole-dipole correlation in a ferromagnetic sample can be treated in terms of collective excitations of the system as a whole. Ferrite samples with linear dimensions smaller than the dephasing length, but still much larger than the exchange-interaction scales, are mesoscopic structures. Recently, it was shown that mesoscopic quasi-2D ferrite disks, distinguishing by multiresonance m...

Knowledge of carbon content in retained austenite (RA) with different neighbouring phases is essential to understand the chemical stability of RA, which is useful for microstructure tuning of transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels. The present study investigates different morphologies and chemical compositions of RA by correlating electron backscattering diffraction, transmission elect...

Cobalt manganese ferrite nanoparticles have application potential in the biomedical field, however there is limited information concerning the biological response. The aim of this work was to investigate the cytotoxic potential of cobalt-manganese ferrite nanoparticles in canine mastocytoma tumor cells (C2) and adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal stem cells (ASCs) cultured under a static magnet...

Intra-granular Acicular Ferrite (IAF), as one of the most well-known desirable microstructure of ferrite with a chaotic crystallographic orientation, can not only refine the microstructure and retard the propagation of cleavage crack but also provide excellent combination of strength and toughness in steel. The effect of adding cerium on microstructure and controlling proper cerium-based inclus...

Zinc ferrite nanocrystals were prepared from an aqueous solution containing metal nitrates and various of concentrations of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), i.e., 0, 15, 40, and 55 g/L, as a capping agent. To stabilize the particles, they were thermally treated at 873 K, as an optimum calcination temperature. The behaviors of the polymeric precursor were analyzed by use of simultaneous thermo-gra...

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) nanocomposites were synthesized using a novel nano-agitator bead milling method followed by calcination. oxide and iron nanoparticles mixed in stoichiometric ratio milled for 3 h calcined at 650 °C air. X-ray diffraction with Rietveld refinement, scanning electron microscopy, transmission microscopy techniques used to elucidate the structure of BiFeO3. The particle diam...
