Cobalt substitutions were investigated in Ni0.4Zn0.4Cu0.2Fe2O4 ferrites, initial complex permeability was then measured from 1 MHz to 1 GHz. It appears that cobalt substitution led to a decrease of the permeability and an increase of the μs×fr factor. As well, it gave to the permeability spectrum a sharp resonance character. We also observed a spin reorientation occuring at a temperature depend...

Magnetic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple chemical reaction using precipitation method. The obtained materials consist of ferrite particles with average diameter of 25 nm. The effect of different surfactants such as cationic, anionic and neutral on the morphology of the products was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the structure and particle size o...

In this study, lauric acid-coated, superparamagnetic, nanoparticle-based magnetic fluids of different ferrites (Fe(3)O(4), MnFe(2)O(4), and CoFe(2)O(4)) were prepared and compared in terms of heating ability and biocompatibility to evaluate the feasibility of use in hyperthermia treatment of cancer. All the magnetic fluids prepared had particles of average sizes 9-11 nm. Heating ability of thes...

The amino acid condensation reaction on a heterogeneous mineral surface has been regarded as one of the important pathways for peptide bond formation. Keeping this in view, we have studied the oligomerization of the simple amino acids, glycine and alanine, on nickel ferrite (NiFe₂O₄), cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄), copper ferrite (CuFe₂O₄), zinc ferrite (ZnFe₂O₄), and manganese ferrite (MnFe₂O₄) nan...

Iron–nickel spinel oxide NiFe2O4 nanoparticles have been prepared by the combination of chemical precipitation and subsequent mechanical milling. For comparison, their analogue obtained by thermal synthesis is also studied. Phase composition and structural properties of iron–nickel oxides are investigated by X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Their catalytic behavior in methanol deco...
