Summary: This study reports on the enhanced magnetostrictive characteristics of composites derived from hard cobalt ferrite (CFO) and soft nickel ferrite (NFO) materials. The composites were synthesized using a cost-effective and eco-friendly method, and their phase purity, surface morphology, magnetic properties, and magnetostrictive characteristics were evaluated. The composites exhibited better magnetostriction at lower magnetic fields compared to the parent sintered CFO and NFO samples, and their structure-phase-property correlation could provide a roadmap for their potential applications in electromagnetic devices.

Summary: NiFe2O4-NFO nanoparticles with varying crystal structure and size were successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method at different temperatures. The NFO-180 sample, which had the smallest size, narrow size distribution, partially inverted structure, and high ratio of Ni(OH)2, exhibited unique electrochemical and magnetic properties. The study suggests that controlling crystal structure, size, and cation distribution in NFO can significantly improve efficiency and performance for specific applications.

Summary: This article focuses on the most important soft spinel ferrites, discussing their structural characteristics, magnetic behavior, synthesis procedures, and applications. Soft ferrites, named after the Latin word "ferrum," are divided into hexaferrites (hard ferrites) and spinels and garnets (soft ferrites). Spinels, with a chemical formula of AB2O4, crystallize in the cubic isometric crystal system and are thermally and chemically stable oxides suitable for a wide range of purposes. These applications include microelectronics, magnetic memories, ferrofluids, gas sensing, water purification, absorber coatings, catalysis, biomedicine, antibacterial activities, and contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. Therefore, this paper provides an overview of spinels' magnetic properties, structural behavior, applications, and synthetic methods.

Summary: In this study, pure phase FeCo2O4 powders were synthesized at a narrow temperature range, exhibiting structural changes with the increase of calcination temperature. The exchange of cation sites and reduction of Co3+ ions were observed as the temperature rose, leading to the coexistence of ferrimagnetism and anti-ferromagnetism in the samples. Additionally, the samples showed a Barkhausen jump below 150 K and entered a reentrant spin glass state as the measurement temperature increased further.

Summary: In this study, the effect of impurity doping on the magnetic susceptibility and magnetic moment development in chiral magnets is investigated using the spin-lattice model. Silicide-Fe- and Co-doped MnSi, a particular class of chiral magnets, is focused on. Two feasible models for different impurity arrangements in real compounds are introduced. Monte Carlo method is employed for classical spins calculation. The magnetic response and degradation of the magnetic phase transition upon doping are of interest. Calculated susceptibility is compared with available experimental data in these compounds. The behavior of the magnetic susceptibility is illustrated by corresponding spin patterns, showing the deterioration of the spiral structure with temperature and the formation of ring-shape patterns in Bragg intensity profiles.

Summary: ZnFe2O4 spinel specimens obtained via hydrothermal and ceramic methods were studied for their structural and magnetic properties. It was found that the specimens synthesized through the hydrothermal method exhibited better magnetism, which may be attributed to the different occupancy of Fe ions resulting from the loss of Zn during the hydrothermal process.

Summary: The addition of BaTiO3 and WO3 nanoparticles has been found to affect the pseudogap and excess conductivity of YBCO polycrystal. The excess conductivity analysis revealed that the experimental data could be described by the 2D Maki-Thompson (MT) and 3D Aslamazov-Larkin (AL) models for samples with low amount of nanoparticles, but the presence of AL contribution and Lawrence-Doniach (LD) models were observed for samples with high amount of nanoparticles. The pseudogap analysis showed an increase in Tpair and a decrease in Delta*(TG) with the addition of nanoparticles.

Summary: This study investigated the electrical and dielectric features for NiCo(NSFs), Pr-NiCo(NSFs), PrY-NiCo(NSFs), and PrYDy-NiCo(NSFs) synthesized hydrothermally. The characterization of the microstructure showed the formation of cubic structure and absence of impurities. The electrical and dielectric measurements revealed the influence of substituted ions on the conductivity and dielectric properties of the samples. Impedance analysis indicated that the conduction mechanism was mainly due to grain-to-grain boundaries. Frequency-dependent dispersion factors were attributed to the conduction mechanism in ferrites.

Summary: This study investigates the electrocatalytic activity of hydrothermally prepared MnCo spinel oxide microspheres doped with vanadium (V-x-MnCo MCs) in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process. The optimized catalyst V-x-MnCo MCs exhibits excellent performance in terms of low onset potential, low overpotential, and high Tafel slope. The improved HER performance can be attributed to the presence of active sites, enhanced electron transport at the interface, and high ECSA value.

Summary: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were fabricated using an eco-friendly technique (laser synthesis) and tested as potential cancer nanotherapeutics. The cell viability assay showed that both AuNPs and Au/CNTs exhibited significant reduction in cancer cell population, while CNTs had minimal effect. AuNPs and Au/CNTs also showed significant decrease in cell viability of normal cells, but CNTs did not. Laser synthesis as a simplified technique for producing nanomaterials showed good efficacy for future cancer therapy with minimal toxicity.
