The introduction of an oxidation treatment to the synthesis of spherical and core-shell alpha ''-Fe16N2/Al2O3 nanoparticles (similar to 62 nm) from plasma-synthesized core-shell alpha-Fe/Al2O3 nanoparticles has been found to result in a high yield of alpha ''-Fe16N2 phase of up to 98%. The oxidation treatment leads the formation of a maghemite phase with open channeled structures along the c-axis, facilitating penetration of H-2 and NH3 gases during the hydrogen reduction and nitridation steps. The saturation magnetization and magnetic coercivity of the core-shell alpha ''-Fe16N2/Al2O3 magnetic nanoparticles were found to be 156 emu/g and 1450 Oe, respectively. The detailed effects of the oxidation on the formation of alpha ''-Fe16N2 phase were investigated by characterizing the morphology (SEM, TEM and BET), elemental composition (EDX, EELS, and XAFS) and magnetic properties (Mossbauer and MSPS) of the prepared particles. The good magnetic properties obtained have the potential for future applications such as rare-earth-free magnetic materials. (C) 2014 Elsevier By. All rights reserved.

New insight into pyrrolic-N site effect towards the first NIR window absorption of pyrrolic-N-rich carbon dots

Fitri Aulia Permatasari, Reza Umami, Citra Deliana Dewi Sundari, Tirta Rona Mayangsari, Atthar Luqman Ivansyah, Fahdzi Muttaqien, Takashi Ogi, Ferry Iskandar

Summary: Through integrated experimental and computational studies, the influence of pyrrolic-N concentration and position on the absorption of pyrrolic-N-rich carbon dots was comprehensively elucidated. It was found that a mid-site pyrrolic-N is generated after the pyrrolic-N concentration exceeds 10%, while edge-site pyrrolic-N induces a frontier orbital hybridization, reducing bandgap energy. This study sheds light on the design and optimization of pyrrolic-N-rich carbon dots for the first near infrared window responsive materials in biomedical applications.

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.
