Effect of swift heavy ion irradiation on MgFe2O4 (annealed at 450 degrees C/3 h) sample prepared by a sol-gel autocombustion procedure has been studied. Single phase samples were irradiated with 120 MeV Si-28(9+) with ion fluence: 1 x 10(11), 1 x 10(12), and 1 x 10(13) ions/cm(2) to monitor its effect on the structure, cation distribution, and magnetic properties. Electronic energy loss induced modifications of cation distribution, structural, magnetic properties were examined by XRD, VSM, FE-SEM, and EDS. XRD measurements show the formation of single phase nanocrystalline mixed cubic spinel structure (grain size 31-35 nm). Observed slight changes of experimental lattice parameter with increasing irradiation dose is ascribable to the migration of Mg2+ ions (ionic radius: 0.071 nm) from B to A site with simultaneous migration of Fe3+ ions (ionic radius: 0.063 nm) from A to B site. Sample irradiated at a lower fluence (1 x 10(11) ions/cm(2)) has higher specific surface area (S), is more suitable for catalytic activity. Irradiation leads formation of dead layer, thus affects magnetic properties, via spin canting at surface. Therefore, irradiation can be used to control both structural, magnetic properties. SEM images display agglomerated nano-particles, while EDS pattern confirms the presence of Mg, Fe and O elements in the sample. First time the antistructural modeling for magnesium ferrite is reported to get information on active surface centers.

Summary: The cobalt ferrite Fenton catalysts were synthesized using the flow co-precipitation method, and their structure and size were characterized. Annealing the catalysts at different temperatures resulted in increased crystallite size and grain size. The annealed cobalt ferrites showed improved catalytic activity in hydrogen peroxide decomposition and caffeine oxidation reactions, with the optimal annealing temperature being 400 degrees C. Electromagnetic heating significantly accelerated the catalytic reactions. The results suggest that electromagnetically heated cobalt ferrite can be a promising catalyst for water purification.

Effect of Electrolytic Cations on a 3D Cd-MOF for Supercapacitive Electrodes

Rakesh Deka, Richa Rajak, Viresh Kumar, Shaikh M. Mobin

Summary: A cadmium-based metal-organic framework (CdMOF) with a cuboid-shaped morphology was synthesized at ambient temperature. The CdMOF exhibited electroactivity and a specific capacitance of 647 F g-1 at 4 A g-1 with a retention of approximately 78% over 10,000 successive cycles without any binder. By exploring different electrolytes, NaOH showed a higher capacitive response due to its combined effect of ionic and hydrated ionic radii. An asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device was fabricated using CdMOF as the positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as the negative electrode, which successfully powered a LED bulb.

Summary: This paper focuses on the study of titanium silicate's adsorption capacity for Ba2+ cations. Titanium silicate can be synthesized from waste produced in titanium production, which is beneficial for environmental protection. The surface area of the adsorbent was determined using low-temperature N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. The elemental composition of titanium silicate was analyzed using XRF and EDS. The study investigated the factors affecting the adsorption values of Ba2+, including duration of interaction, equilibrium concentration, and solution acidity. The experiment measured a maximal adsorption value of 144 mg/g for Ba2+ ions. The adsorption mechanism was determined to be physical adsorption with an adsorption energy value of 0.947 kJ per mole, calculated using the D-R equation. This study has potential implications for adsorbent regeneration.

C. Parmar, R. Verma, S. S. Modak, F. Mazaleyrat, Tetiana Tatarchuk, S. N. Kane

Summary: XRD analysis and magnetic measurements were used to investigate the impact of 80 MeV O-16(6+) ion irradiation on the structural, magnetic properties, and anti-structural modeling of ZnFe2O4 synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion technique. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of single-phase spinel nanoferrite. Irradiation caused changes in lattice parameters, strain, oxygen parameter, ions on A and B sites, inversion degree, super-exchange interactions, saturation magnetization, anisotropy, squareness ratio, and surface dead-layer thickness. Anti-structural modeling revealed the presence of surface-active centers, highlighting the strong relationship between structural and magnetic properties.

Heterostructures of MXenes and transition metal oxides for supercapacitors: an overview

Shagufi Naz Ansari, Mohit Saraf, Zahir Abbas, Shaikh M. Mobin

Summary: MXenes are two-dimensional materials with high conductivity, redox activity, and compositional diversity and have shown great potential in energy storage applications. However, their energy storage capability is limited by a narrow electrochemically stable potential window. Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have high redox activity but suffer from poor cyclability and rate performance. Combining MXenes with TMOs can enhance the charge storage capacity of MXenes while improving the cyclability and rate performance of oxides, making MXene/TMO heterostructures promising for energy storage.

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.
