Summary: The study compares NiFe2O4 (coprecipitation) and NiFe2O4@SiO2 (coprecipitation and microemulsion) ferrite nanoparticles in their as-received and annealed forms. The results show that thermal treatment induces gradual crystallization in the as-received samples, with the presence of cubic inverse spinel ferrite structure confirmed in all samples. FTIR spectroscopy confirms the spinel structure and other Fe-based states, while a nonstoichiometric hematite is detected in the annealed NiFe2O4 sample. The study also reveals changes in magnetic properties and electronic structure with the effects of crystallization, grain growth, and hematite separation.

Summary: In this study, lanthanum La-doped Mg0.33Ni0.33Co0.33Fe2-xLaxO4 (0.00 <= x <= 0.08) nanoferrites were synthesized and their physical properties were examined. Results showed that increasing the La3+ ions concentration led to a decrease in crystallite and particle sizes, confirming the formation of a single-phase spinel ferrite. The presence of two bands in the FTIR spectra and the red shift in A(1g) Raman mode further confirmed the formation of the spinel structure.

Summary: Fish bones, rich in calcium and bioactive peptides, can be used as an alternative source of calcium to traditional sources like dairy products for the manufacture of functional foods or to improve food technological properties. This review analyzes the processes related to obtaining high calcium content ingredients from fish bones, including solubilization of hydroxyapatite, reduction of particle size to nanometer range, and addition of calcium-chelating peptides. The use of fish bone powder as a source of bioavailable calcium not only contributes to waste reduction in food processing but also provides an economic advantage.

Summary: This study investigates the core-shell structure of rare-earth-doped calcium ferrite nanoparticles (RCFNPs) coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG). The presence of PEG is confirmed by the XRD pattern, which shows two peaks attributable to PEG and other peaks related to orthorhombic structure. Analyzing the obtained samples using EDAX and XPS, it is revealed that the PEG-coated RCFNPs have a well-designed hexagonal core/shell structure. The magnetic hysteresis loops suggest that the prepared samples exhibit suitable properties for ultra-high-density recording performance.
