The optical properties of multi-functionalized cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4), cobalt zinc ferrite (Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4), and zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles have been enhanced by coating them with silica shell using a modified Stöber method. The ferrites nanoparticles were prepared by a modified citrate gel technique. These core/shell ferrites nanoparticles have been fired at temperatures: 400°C, 6...

Nanoindentation measurements were obtained on eight commercially-produced DP980 dual-phase steels to quantify the hardness of the individual constituents, ferrite and martensite, in each steel. Each microstructure was also evaluated to determine grain size, martensite volume fraction (MVF), and retained austenite content. Nanoindentation hardnesses and quantitative microstructural measurements ...

The long-term objective of the present study was to determine the ability of NiZn ferrite nanoparticles to kill cancer cells. NiZn ferrite nanoparticle suspensions were found to have an average hydrodynamic diameter, polydispersity index, and zeta potential of 254.2 ± 29.8 nm, 0.524 ± 0.013, and -60 ± 14 mV, respectively. We showed that NiZn ferrite nanoparticles had selective toxicity towards ...

it is shown how the radiation characteristic of a patch antenna can be manipulated by a small number of normally magnetized ferrite disks inserted in the resonant region of the patch. It is shown that a oneand dual-band circular polarized microstrip antenna can be obtained by taking advantage of the interaction of the antenna cavity field with the magnetized ferrite disks. . The dependence of t...

There is general agreement that a weld microstructure primarily containing acicular ferrite will exhibit high strength and excellent toughness due to its small grain size, high dislocation density, and the way in which the plates are dispersed in the microstructure (Pargeter, 1983; Sneider and Ken, 1984). In contrast, the presence of allotriomorphic ferrite, ferrite plates with aligned carbides...

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) possesses excellent chemical stability, good mechanical hardness and a large positive first order crystalline anisotropy constant, which made this ferrite a promising candidate for magneto-optical recording media. In addition to precise control on the composition and structure of CoFe2O4, the success of its practical application will depend on the capability of controll...

Mn–Zn ferrite powders (Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) were prepared by the nitrate–citrate auto-combustion method and subsequently annealed in air or argon. The effects of heat treatment temperature on crystalline phases formation, microstructure and magnetic properties of Mn–Zn ferrite were investigated by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy a...

There has been a surge of interest in the subwavelength confinement of electromagnetic fields. It is well known that, in optics, subwavelength confinement can be obtained from surface plasmon (quasielectrostatic) oscillations. In this article, we propose to realize subwavelength confinement in microwaves by using dipolarmode (quasimagnetostatic) magnon oscillations in ferrite particles. Our stu...

High permeability and high permittivity are hard to be achieved simultaneously, either in single-phased materials or in composite materials, such as ferrite-ferroelectric ceramic composites and ferrite-metal percolative composites. In this work, ultra-low percolation threshold is achieved in NiZnCu ferrite-Ag cofired ceramics, which endows the composite with both high permeability and high perm...

The effect of plastic deformation on the transformation of austenite to acicular ferrite in a Fe /Mn /Si /C alloy steel containing non-metallic inclusions was investigated. The transformation to acicular ferrite is retarded and the final fraction of acicular ferrite is reduced in plastically deformed austenite, which is a characteristic of a displacive transformation mechanism. The increase in ...
