Summary: The study found that the design of high coercivity ferromagnetic materials can be achieved by considering factors such as nanowire diameter, alignment, and packing density. Analysis based on experimental results and literature reveals a coercivity ceiling in consideration of geometrical dimensions and effective magnetic anisotropy.

Summary: In this work, we investigated the surface effects on small antiferromagnetic nanoparticles with diameters less than or equal to 11 nm and Ne'el temperature around 12 K under spin-flop conditions using Montecarlo simulations. Our results showed that decreasing the particle size led to an increase in the effective anisotropy and spin-flop field of the system. The influence of surface anisotropy induced magnetic disorder, which was manifested in the magnetization curves as a function of applied field and temperature. We developed a simple model that reproduced the observed behaviors for low temperatures.

Summary: Nanocrystalline perovskite materials LaFeO3, LaFe0.9Mn0.1O3, and LaMnO3 have been synthesized using a novel solution combustion route. Characterization using physicochemical techniques revealed different structures and properties of these materials, with LaFeO3 and LaFe0.9Mn0.1O3 exhibiting weak ferromagnetism and LaMnO3 showing paramagnetic behavior.

Summary: This study successfully prepared crystalline LaFeO3 nanoparticles with a lower calcination temperature and investigated various experimental conditions affecting crystallization. Under 500°C calcination, crystalline LaFeO3 was formed with crystalline NaFeO2, while the FeO6 octahedral structure was found to be closely associated with the process of crystallization.

Summary: The stoichiometry and effective anisotropy constant (K-eff) of iron-oxide nanoparticles with different sizes were studied using Mossbauer spectroscopy. The K-eff value was determined by comparing the size distribution and KeffV product obtained from Mossbauer spectra fitting. An overall surface anisotropy constant Ks was obtained by analyzing the relationship between the mean NP size, experimentally determined K-eff and mean magnetic anisotropy. The study also observed a relation between KeffV values and the magnetite/maghemite fraction in each sample.

Summary: La1-xxFe1-yyO3 perovskite nanoparticles were successfully prepared using the citrate combustion method. The samples exhibited good crystallinity, antiferromagnetic properties, and enhanced molar magnetic susceptibility due to vacancy doping. They showed semiconductor-like behavior with conduction mechanisms of small polaron tunneling and correlated barrier hopping.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the anisotropy and scaling of sub-Alfvenic solar wind turbulence at magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) scale using observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft. The observations reveal prominent cascade of fluctuations in the direction perpendicular to the background magnetic field, with an increasing anisotropy at higher wavenumbers. The power spectra of different magnetic field components follow different scaling laws, consistent with current compressible MHD theory.

Summary: In this study, block polymers with different quaternization degrees were successfully coated on the surface of silica nanocapsules using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), and the antiviral drug Molnupiravir was encapsulated in the polymer-coated nanocapsules. The encapsulated drugs were further incorporated into well-defined films by layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly. The researchers investigated the effect of polymer quaternization degree and steric hindrance of functional groups on the growth mode, swelling/deswelling transition, and drug-delivering efficiency of the films.

Summary: In this study, the effects of particle shape on the shear behavior of granular soils were investigated through experiments and simulations. It was found that increasing the shape parameter S-h can enhance the interlock between particles and limit the deformation in the direction of shearing. Additionally, changes in particle shape can significantly affect the fabric anisotropy of the soil.
