Single phase zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles have been prepared by the coprecipitation method without any subsequent calcination. The effects of precipitation temperature in the range 20-80 degrees C on the structural and the magnetic properties of zinc ferrite nanoparticles were investigated. The crystallite size, microstructure and magnetic properties of the prepared nanoparticles were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transmission infrared spectrum, transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer and vibrating sample magnetometer. The XRD results showed that the coprecipitated nanoparticles were single phase zinc ferrite with mixture of normal and inverse spinel structures. Furthermore, ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles have the crystallite size in the range 5-10 nm, as confirmed by TEM. The magnetic measurements exhibited that the zinc ferrite nanoparticles synthesized at 40 degrees C were superparamagnetic with the maximum magnetization of 7.3 emu/g at 10 kOe. (C) 2012 Elsevier BY.

An investigation of microstructural background for improved corrosion resistance of WE43 magnesium-based composites with ZnO and Cu/ZnO additions

O. Esmaeilzadeh, A. R. Eivani, M. Mehdizade, S. M. A. Boutorabi, S. M. Masoudpanah

Summary: In this study, WE43-based nanocomposites were fabricated by adding nano- and micro-sized particles and using friction stir processing. The effect of particle size and geometry of particle insertions on the microstructure and corrosion properties of Mg-based composites was investigated. The results showed that the grain size of the composite matrix was reduced after friction stir processing, and there was a significant fragmentation and redistribution of secondary phase particles. The corrosion behavior of the composite was evaluated using various tests, and it was found that the corrosion mechanism involved both pitting and uniform corrosion. Furthermore, friction stir processing and addition of particles reduced the rate of electrochemical corrosive reactions. The composite fabricated with hole insertion and nano-sized particles exhibited a more uniform distribution of additives and higher corrosion resistance compared to the groove insertion method. Additionally, the composite sample with Cu/ZnO particles showed the highest anti-corrosion properties.

Vapor bubbles departure frequency at ferrofluid boiling on a single nucleation site in a uniform horizontal magnetic field

Alexander Ya. Simonovskii, Alexander A. Yanovskii, Arthur R. Zakinyan

Summary: In this study, the departure frequency of vapor bubbles during boiling of ferrofluid in a horizontal magnetic field is experimentally investigated. Two methods, visual and inductive, are used to measure the frequency of bubble departure. The results show that the bubble departure frequency can decrease with increasing magnetic field strength and increase with increasing temperature of the heat-emitting surface. A linear stability analysis is conducted to analyze the influence of the magnetic field on the frequency of bubble formation during ferrofluid boiling.

Thermodynamic, entanglement and spin Hall conductivity on kagome-honeycomb lattice system

Leonardo S. Lima

Summary: This study investigates the thermodynamic quantities, such as entropy, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility, in the next-nearest-neighbors Heisenberg model on a honeycomb-kagome lattice. The linear spin-wave approach is applied to obtain the temperature-dependent behavior of these quantities. Additionally, the entanglement negativity, a quantifier of quantum entanglement, and the spin Hall conductivity are also studied. The results show that all the thermodynamic quantities, as well as the entanglement negativity and spin Hall conductivity, exhibit an increasing trend with temperature. Furthermore, it is found that all the analyzed quantities approach zero in the low-temperature limit, consistent with experimental observations.
