Summary: Enhanced mixing in microchannels is achieved by using magnetic nonspherical particles (MNSPs), which generate secondary vortices with cyclical characteristics due to their shape. Increasing the rotation rate of MNSPs enlarges the secondary vortices, expanding the mixing zone and enhancing the mixing efficiency. Complementary micro-particle image velocimetry (mu PIV) analysis clarifies the mixing mechanism and demonstrates the potential of employing MNSPs as efficient mixers in lab-on-chip devices.

Summary: Numerical investigation was conducted on the particle-particle interaction and relative motion of a pair of equal-sized magnetic particles in simple shear and plane Poiseuille flows. The direction and strength of the magnetic field were found to have significant effects on the dynamics of the particles, impacting their trajectories and relative motion. This study provides insights into understanding the mechanisms of particle-particle interaction in magnetorheological fluids under a uniform magnetic field.

Summary: This work investigates the effect of lithium doping on the structural and thermal behavior of a high entropy oxide. The results show that the presence of lithium prevents the reduction of Co3+ ions in the high entropy oxide and suggests the existence of Co3+ within the rock salt lattice. At high temperature, the high entropy oxide loses oxygen and changes the charge compensation mechanism for lithium incorporation. Additionally, the study finds that lithium exists in two distinct chemical environments in the high entropy oxide, indicating the presence of short-range order and possible M3+-Li+ pairs.

Summary: Motivated by precision measurements of heavy flavor baryon masses, this study analyzes the modification of quark charge and the screening effect inside the baryon. By considering isospin symmetry breaking and state mixing effects, the masses, magnetic moments, and transition moments of quark baryons are predicted, and radiative decay widths are calculated.

Summary: In this study, injection characteristics (iron dose, dilution, time course, and massaging) were evaluated to optimize magnetic tracer uptake in the sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) in a rat hindleg model. The results showed that injection dose and time had a significant impact on SLN iron uptake, with preoperative injection potentially advantageous for SLN detection and reducing residual iron at the injection site. Time was found to have a higher impact than dilution on SLN iron uptake, while massaging did not significantly affect iron uptake.

Summary: In this work, the influence of the intermediate valence on the local moment formation and the magnetic hyperfine field in Ce impurities diluted in RZn compounds (R = Gd, Tb, Dy) at finite temperature is theoretically studied. The temperature dependence of the local magnetic moments and related hyperfine magnetic interaction is calculated and the intermediate valence model explains the experimentally observed magnetic properties.

Summary: The sub-solidus phase relation in the Ca4Nb2O9-Nd2O3 pseudo-binary system was studied using X-ray powder diffraction, thermal analysis, IR, Raman, and EPR spectroscopy. The results showed the formation of a limited solid solution of Nd2O3 in Ca4Nb2O9, with a monoclinic structure. The cell parameters of the solid solution increased linearly with higher Nd2O3 content, in accordance with Vegard's law.

Summary: This numerical model of magnetization dynamics is based on the Stoner-Wohlfarth model and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, using coefficients for interpolation of equilibrium time and a linear system of equations for angular component variation. The dynamic Stoner-Wohlfarth model is employed for accurate replication of macrospin dynamics with improved numerical efficiency under constant or variable external magnetic fields.
