The safety and toxicity of nanoparticles are of growing concern despite their significant scientific interests and promising potentials in many applications. The properties of nanoparticles depend not only on the size but also the structure, microstructure and surface coating. These in turn are controlled by the synthesis and processing conditions. The dependence of cytotoxicity on particle siz...

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...

the selective reduction of oximes with sodium borohydride (nabh4) in the presence of nano cu and charcoal was investigated. cu nanoparticles are widely used as catalysts; efficacious catalyst: copper and copper alloy nanometer feature high efficacy and selectivity, and can be used as catalyst in some reactions. we have shown that nabh4 in the presence of charcoal is an efficient protocol for th...

The lead ferrite (PbFe12O19) nanoparticles were prepared by a simple and short time microwave method. Lead nitrate, iron nitrate nine hydrate, surfactants, and ethylene glycol were used as precursor materials. The effect of surfactants on the morphology and particle size of the magnetic products was investigated. The prepared magnetic products were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electro...

We consider an implementation of quantum gates for quantum computation using magnetostatic/magnetoelectric (MS/ME) macroscopically quantized states in small ferrite disks. Confinement phenomena for MS oscillations in a normally magnetized ferrite disk show typical atomic properties like discrete energy levels. Because of discrete energy eigenstates of MS oscillations, the oscillating system is ...

Glycine assisted self-combustion method resulted in fabrication of cobalt-manganese ferrite substituted by zinc ( Zn ) element. The as-synthesized Co-Mn was subjected to heat treatment at 600?C and 800?C for 2h. Effects on the structural, morphological, surface magnetic properties ZnCoMn were studied. These characterized using various techniques including TGA-DTGA, FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM VSM....

Glycerol mono-oleate (GMO) was produced by direct esterification reaction with amberlyst 16 resin catalysts with the efficiency of 86% and was used as a surfactant for synthesis of CoFe2O4 nano-particles by surfactant-assisted microwave method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to consider the structural and...
