Summary: In this study, nanocomposites of Makrofol polycarbonate and Cadmium Sulfide nanoparticles were synthesized using an ex-situ casting procedure. The effects of radiation dosage on the structure and optical properties of the nanocomposite films were investigated. It was found that the bandgap decreased with increasing dosage due to damage to the crystalline phase. Additionally, significant color differences were observed in the non-irradiated nanocomposite films.

Summary: Hard ferrite (CoFe2O4), soft ferrite (Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4), and composite ferrite (CoFe2O4)x/(Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4)1-x (hard/soft ferrite) with varying compositions were synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion method. X-Ray Diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of cubic structures in the samples. Thermal analysis using TGA/DSC determined the temperature of phase formation. FTIR spectroscopy data verified the successful synthesis and formation of functional groups in the ferrites. SEM characterization showed overlapping spherical particles, and elemental mapping was performed using EDS. FESEM and TEM analysis demonstrated enhanced magnetic hyperthermia properties. Vibrating Sample Magnetometry was used to study the saturation magnetization (Ms), coercivity (Hc), and remnant magnetization (Mr) of the samples. Zeta potential measurement examined the surface charge of the particles in DI water. Heating characteristics of the samples were evaluated in an alternating magnetic field. The magnetic properties depended on the concentration of soft and hard ferrite, and the magnetic heating efficiency depended on the sample composition.

Summary: Despite decades of efforts, accurately designing and synthesizing second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals remains a challenge. KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF) is the only NLO material capable of generating deep ultraviolet light through direct second-harmonic generation, making it an ideal structural template for designing environmentally friendly candidates based on reported compounds. This review focuses on the accurate design and synthesis of high-performance NLO materials from a microscopic crystal structure perspective, aiming to provide insights into efficient and rapid design and synthesis of targeted compounds. Additionally, a new concept called the quality factor is proposed to comprehensively evaluate the overall performance of new ultraviolet NLO materials, considering requirements such as second-harmonic generation, cut-off edge, and birefringence. This concept enables a direct and convenient assessment of the practical NLO output capability of ultraviolet NLO materials.
