Summary: This study investigates the magnetostrictive characteristics of sintered CoFe2O4 (CFO), Co0.85Ni0.15Fe1.85Ga0.15O4 (CNFGO15), and Co0.85Mg0.15Fe1.85Ga0.15O4 (CMFGO15) ceramics. The CMFGO15 sample exhibits enhanced strain sensitivity at low magnetic fields compared to the other two samples, with a maximum strain sensitivity nearly 160% higher than the values found for the other two samples even at remarkable low field.

Summary: In this study, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)@CoFe2O4 (CFO) nanohybrid (CN@CF) magnetic fillers and electro-spun P(VDF-TrFE)-CN@CF (P-CN@CF) composites were designed to increase the magneto-mechano-electric (MME) response and energy conversion efficiency in non-contact energy harvesters. The addition of CNCs promoted the growth of CFO nanoparticles and improved their magnetic properties. The P-CN@CF composites exhibited a significantly higher MME peak-to-peak voltage compared to composites with pure CFO nanoparticles. The introduction of CNCs positively affected both the magnetic properties of the fillers and the output voltage of the MME composites.

Summary: The effect of cobalt ferrite nanopowder on the dehydrogenation properties of sodium alanate was studied for the first time. The addition of cobalt ferrite significantly reduced the decomposition temperature of sodium alanate and enhanced the hydrogen release rate. This was attributed to the synergistic catalytic effect of new active species formed during the dehydrogenation process.

Summary: This work investigated the effect of annealing temperature and doped yttrium ions on the structural, optical, and magnetic properties of CoFe2-xYxO4 spinel nanoparticles. The particle size ranged from 22 to 40 nm, confirming their nanostructural character. Increasing annealing temperature led to increased structural characteristics, magnetic properties, and band gap energy values, while coercivity values showed the opposite trend. With an increase in yttrium ion content, all measured values decreased. Compared to cobalt ferrite doped with other elements, the yttrium-doped CoFe2O4 nanoparticles exhibited excellent optical and magnetic properties.

Summary: In this study, nanoparticles of Co1-xRexFe2O4 and CoFe2-xRexO4 (0 <= x <= 0.05) were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The substitution of Re led to slightly increased lattice parameters and shift in Raman spectra peak positions. The surface Re exchange changed the coordination environment of metals and induced Fe-site structure distortion. The magnetic measurements showed that all samples exhibited ferromagnetic behavior across the entire temperature range.

Summary: The partial substitution of Cu for Co in CoFe2O4 was found to effectively improve the magnetostrictive properties. Cubic spinel CuxCo1_xFe2O4 samples showed a larger strain magnitude at lower magnetic fields as x increased to 0.6. The sample with x = 0.6 demonstrated a strain of approximately 511 ppm when the direction of a 1 T magnetic field was changed. This value was approximately 1.6 times larger than that of Galfenol, a commercial magnetostrictive material without rare-earth elements. Such superior magnetostrictive properties were not observed in samples with x > 0.7 containing a tetragonal structure. Therefore, the cubic spinel CuxCo1_xFe2O4 system is a promising candidate for rare-earth-free magnetostrictive materials.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of Gd3+ substitution on the structural and magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite nanostructures. The results show that Gd3+ doping leads to a reduction in crystallite size and changes in the magnetic behavior of the nanostructures. The findings suggest that Gd-Co ferrite has potential applications in permanent magnet materials and high-density information storage.

Summary: Exchange coupling in a model core-shell system is demonstrated as a step towards 3D exchange spring magnets. High-quality core-shell nanoparticles of Ni@CoFe2O4 were fabricated using a simple two-step method. The microstructural quality was validated using TEM, confirming a well-defined interface between the core and the shell. Results showed a strongly temperature-dependent two-phase magnetic hysteresis loop, indicating a coupling of approximately 50% between the core and the shell. Element-specific XMCD hysteresis confirmed the presence of exchange coupling, suppressing the superparamagnetism of the Ni core at room temperature, and achieving a coercivity of >6 kOe at 80 K. These findings provide a pathway for the development of heterostructured metal-oxide exchange-coupled nanoparticles with improved maximum energy product.

Summary: The study investigates the remote magneto-mechanical actuation of biomolecules under the influence of external magnetic fields using magnetic nanoparticles. The results demonstrate a nonmonotonic dependence of mechanical destruction on the size of nanoparticles, indicating the crucial role of magneto-dipole interactions between nanoparticles. This finding contributes to the fine-tuning of magnetic nanoparticle properties for specific magneto-mechanical tasks.

Summary: The study found that the crystallite size of Co1-xCuxFe2O4 nanoparticles embedded in a SiO2 matrix increased with the Cu2+ doping content, and that Cu2+ doping at the octahedral B sites led to a slight deformation of octahedral symmetry, resulting in cation migration between octahedral A and tetrahedral B sites. Increasing Cu2+ content initially increased the saturation magnetization, then tended to decrease, while the coercivity decreased continuously, indicating an important role of Cu2+ doping content in the magnetic properties of Co1-xCuxFe2O4 nanoparticles.

Summary: Co1-xFe(II)(x)Fe2O4 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1) ferrites were synthesized by coprecipitation. The substitution of ferrous ions and annealing were found to affect the structural, optical, magnetic, and dielectric properties. The study showed that annealing increased crystallite size, improved magnetic parameters, increased optical bandgap, and enhanced dielectric properties.
