Magnetic field aligned orderly arrangement of Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles in CS/PVA/Fe_3O_4 membranes

The CS/PVA/Fe_3O_4 nanocomposite membranes with chainlike arrangement of Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles are prepared by a magnetic-field-assisted solution casting method. The aim of this work is to investigate the relationship between the microstructure of the magnetic anisotropic CS/PVA/Fe_3O_4 membrane and the evolved macroscopic physicochemical property. With the same doping content, the relative crystallinity of CS/PVA/Fe_3O_4-M is lower than that of CS/PVA/Fe_3O_4.The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-TR) measurements indicate that there is no chemical bonding between polymer molecule and Fe_3O_4 nanoparticle. The Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles in CS/PVA/Fe_3O_4 and CS/PVA/Fe_3O_4-M are wrapped by the chains of CS/PVA, which is also confirmed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and x-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis. The saturation magnetization value of CS/PVA/Fe_3O_4-M obviously increases compared with that of non-magnetic aligned membrane, meanwhile the transmittance decreases in the UV-visible region. The o-Ps lifetime distribution provides information about the free-volume nanoholes present in the amorphous region. It is suggested that the microstructure of CS/PVA/Fe_3O_4 membrane can be modified in its curing process under a magnetic field, which could affect the magnetic properties and the transmittance of nanocomposite membrane. In brief, a full understanding of the relationship between the microstructure and the macroscopic property of CS/PVA/Fe_3O_4 nanocomposite plays a vital role in exploring and designing the novel multifunctional materials.     

Controllable Synthesis and Magnetic Properties of Monodisperse Fe_3O_4 Nanoparticles

Magnetite(Fe_3O_4) nanoparticles with different sizes and shapes are synthesized by the thermal decomposition method.Two approaches,non-injection one-pot and hot-injection methods,are designed to investigate the growth mechanism in detail.It is found that the size and shape of nanoparticles are determined by adjusting the precursor concentration and duration time,which can be well explained by the mechanism based on the LaMer modei in our synthetic system.The monodisperse Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles have a mean diameter from 5nm to 16 nm,and shape evolution from spherical to triangular and cubic.The magnetic properties are size-dependent,and Fe_3O_4nanoparticles in small size about 5nm exhibit superparamagnetic properties at room temperature and maximum saturation magnetization approaches to 78 emu/g,whereas Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles develop ferromagnetic properties when the diameter increases to about 16 nm.     

Effects of dipolar interactions on the magnetic hyperthermia of Zn0.3Fe2.7O4 nanoparticles with different sizes

Tumor-targeted magnetic hyperthermia has recently attracted much attention.Magnetic nanoparticles(NPs) are heat mediator nanoprobes in magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment.In this paper,single cubic spinel structural Zn_0.3Fe_2.7O₄ magnetic NPs with sizes of 14 nm-20 nm were synthesized,followed by coating with SiO₂ shell.The SLP value of Zn_0.3Fe_2.7O₄/SiO₂ NPs below 20 nm changes non-monotonically with the concentration of solution under the alternating current(AC) magnetic field of 430 kHz and 27 kA/m.SLP values of all Zn_0.3Fe_2.7O₄/SiO₂ NPs appear a peak value with change of solution concentration.The solution concentrations with optimal SLP value decrease with increasing magnetic core size.This work can give guidance to the better prediction and control of the magnetic hyperthermia performance of materials in clinical applications.     

Novel Fe_3O_4@SiO_2@Ag@Ni trepang-like nanocomposites:High-efficiency and magnetic recyclable catalysts for organic dye degradation

A facile step-by-step approach is developed for synthesizing the high-efficiency and magnetic recyclable Fe_3O_4@SiO_2@Ag@Ni trepang-like nanocomposites.This method involves coating Fe_2O_3 nanorods with a uniform silica layer,reduction in 10%H_2/Ar atmosphere to transform the Fe_2O_3 into magnetic Fe_3O_4,and finally depositing Ag@Ni core-shell nanoparticles on the L-lysine modified surface of Fe_3O_4@SiO_2 nanorods.The fabricated nanocomposites are further characterized by x-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,scanning electron microscope,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy.The Fe_3O_4@SiO_2@Ag@Ni trepang-like nanocomposites exhibit remarkably higher catalytic efficiency than monometallic Fe_3O_4@SiO_2@Ag nanocomposites toward the degradation of Rhodamine B(RhB) at room temperature,and maintain superior catalytic activity even after six cycles.In addition,these samples could be easily separated from the catalytic system by an external magnet and reused,which shows great potential applications in treating waste water.     

Extended damage range of(Al_(0.3)Cr_(0.2)Fe_(0.2)Ni_(0.3))_3O_4 high entropy oxide films induced by surface irradiation

Irradiation makes structural materials of nuclear reactors degraded and failed. However, the damage process of materials induced by irradiation is not fully elucidated, mostly because the charged particles only bombarded the surface of the materials(within a few microns). In this work, we investigated the effects of surface irradiation on the indirect irradiation region of the(Al_(0.3)Cr_(0.2)Fe_(0.2)Ni_(0.3))_3O_4 high entropy oxide(HEO) films in detail by plasma surface interaction. The results show that the damage induced by surface irradiation significantly extends to the indirect irradiation region of HEO film where the helium bubbles, dislocations, phase transformation, and the nickel oxide segregation were observed.

High quality Zn0.5CoxFe2.5?xO4(x=0,0.05,0.1,0.15)serial magnetic nanoparticles with single cubic structures were prepared by the modified thermal decomposition method,and Zn0.5CoxFe2.5?xO4/SiO2 composite magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by surface modification of SiO2.The magnetic anisotropy of the sample increases with the increase of the doping amount of Co2+.When the doping amount is 0.1,the sample shows the transition from superparamagnetism to ferrimagnetism at room temperature.In the Zn0.5CoxFe2.5?xO4/SiO2 serial samples,the maximum value of specific loss power(SLP)with 1974 W/gmetal can also be found at doping amount of x=0.1.The composite nanoparticles are expected to be an excellent candidate for clinical magnetic hyperthermia.

Thickness Effect on (La_(0.26)Bi_(0.74))_2Ti_4O_(11) Thin-Film Composition and Electrical Properties

Highly oriented(00l)(La_(0.26)Bi_(0.74))_2Ti_4O_(11 )thin films are deposited on(100) SrTiO_(3 )substrates using the pulsed laser deposition technique.The grains form a texture of bar-like arrays along Sr Ti O_3110directions for the film thickness above 350 nm,in contrast to spherical grains for the reduced film thickness below 220 nm.X-ray diffraction patterns show that the highly ordered bar-like grains are the ensemble of two lattice-matched monoclinic(La,Bi)_4Ti_3O_(12 )and TiO_(2 )components above a critical film thickness.Otherwise,the phase decomposes into the random mixture of Bi_2Ti_2O_(7 )and Bi_4Ti_3O_(4 )spherical grains in thinner films.The critical thickness can increase up to 440 nm as the films are deposited on LaNiO_3-buffered SrTiO_(3 )substrates.The electrical measurements show the dielectric enhancement of the multi-components,and comprehensive charge injection into interfacial traps between(La,Bi)_4Ti_3O_(12 )and TiO_(2 )components occurs under the application of a threshold voltage for the realization of high-charge storage.

Magnetoelectric effects in multiferroic Y-type hexaferrites Ba(0.3)Sr(1.7)CoxMg(2-x)Fe(12)O(22)

Y-type hexaferrites with tunable conical magnetic structures are promising single-phase multiferroics that exhibit large magnetoelectric effects. We have investigated the influence of Co substitution on the magnetoelectric properties in the Y-type hexaferrites Ba(0.3)Sr(1.7)CoxMg(2-x)Fe(12)O(22)(x = 0.0, 0.4, 1.0, 1.6). The spin-induced electric polarization can be reversed by applying a low magnetic field for all the samples. The magnetoelectric phase diagrams of BaBa(0.3)Sr(1.7)CoxMg(2-x)Fe(12)O(22) are obtained based on the measurements of magnetic field dependence of dielectric constant at selected temperatures. It is found that the substitution of Co ions can preserve the ferroelectric phase up to a higher temperature, and thus is beneficial for achieving single-phase multiferroics at room temperature.     

Synthesis of free-standing Ga_2O_3 films for flexible devices by water etching of Sr_3Al_2O_6 sacrificial layers

Flexible electronic devices have attracted much attention due to their practical and commercial value. Integration of thin films with soft substrate is an effective way to fabricate flexible electronic devices. Ga_2O_3 thin films deposited directly on soft substrates would be amorphous mostly. However, the thickness of the thin film obtained by mechanical exfoliation method is difficult to control and the edge of the film is fragile and easy to be damaged. In this work, we fabricated free-standing Ga_2O_3 thin films using the water-soluble perovskite Sr_3Al_2O_6 as a sacrificial buffer layer. The obtained Ga_2O_3 thin films were polycrystalline. The thickness and dimension of the films were controllable. A flexible Ga_2O_3solar-blind UV photodetector was fabricated by transferring the free-standing Ga_2O_3 film on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate substrate. The results displayed that the photoelectric performances of the flexible Ga_2O_3 photodetector were not sensitive to bending of the device. The free-standing Ga_2O_3 thin films synthesized through the method described here can be transferred to any substrates or integrated with other thin films to fabricate electronic devices.     

Field-variable magnetic domain characterization of individual 10 nm Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles

The local detection of magnetic domains of isolated 10 nm Fe_3O_4 magnetic nanoparticles(MNPs) has been achieved by field-variable magnetic force microscopy(MFM) with high spatial resolution.The domain configuration of an individual MNP shows a typical dipolar response.The magnetization reversal of MNP domains is governed by a coherent rotation mechanism, which is consistent with the theoretical results given by micromagnetic calculations.Present results suggest that the field-variable MFM has great potential in providing nanoscale magnetic information on magnetic nanostructures,such as nanoparticles, nanodots, skyrmions, and vortices, with high spatial resolution.This is crucial for the development and application of magnetic nanostructures and devices.

Enhancement of in-plane magnetic anisotropy in (111)-oriented Co0.8Fe2.2O4 thin film by deposition of PZT top layer

The CoFe₂O₄ and Co_0.8Fe_2.2O₄ single layer (CFO) as well as PZT/CoFe₂O₄ and PZT/Co_0.8Fe_2.2O₄ bilayer thin films were grown using the pulsed laser deposition technique on Pt(111)/Si substrates at 600 °C. All films had a perfect (111)-orientation and the degree of orientation of CFO films was improved by the deposition of a PZT top layer. Precision X-ray diffraction analysis (avoiding the shift of peaks due to sample misalignment) revealed that the CFO films on Pt(111)/Si substrate were under an out-of-plane contraction and the deposition of a PZT top layer led to the increase in the out-of-plane contraction. The (111)-oriented CFO single layer films had a strong in-plane magnetic anisotropy as a result of orientation as well as the stress-induced magnetic anisotropy. The magnetic properties of CFO film were altered by the deposition of a PZT top layer leading to the enhancement of in-plane magnetic anisotropy. The enhanced in-plane magnetic anisotropy was more detectable in PZT/Co_0.8Fe_2.2O₄ rather than PZT/CoFe₂O₄ bilayer film, which could be expected from its higher magnetocrystalline as well as magnetostriction constants.     

Synthesis and microwave absorption properties of graphene-oxide(GO)/polyaniline nanocomposite with Fe3O4 particles

In order to investigate the impedance matching properties of microwave absorbers,the ternary nanocomposites of GO/PANI/Fe₃O₄（GPF） are prepared via a two-step method,GO/PANI composites are synthesized by dilute polymerization in the presence of aniline monomer and GO,and GO/PANI/Fe₃O₄ is prepared via a co-precipitation method.The obtained nanocomposites are characterized by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）,X-ray diffraction（XRD）,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR）,respectively.The microwave absorbability reveals enhanced microwave absorption properties compared with GO,PANI,and GO/PANI.The maximum reflection loss of GO/PANI/Fe₃O₄ is up to-27 dB at 14 GHz with its thickness being 2 mm,and its absorption bandwidths exceeding-10 dB are more than 11.2 GHz with its thickness values being in the range from 1.5 mm-4 mm.It provides that GO/PANI/Fe₃O₄ can be used as an attractive candidate for microwave absorbers.

Bipolar Resistive Switching in Epitaxial Mn_3O_4 Thin Films on Nb-Doped SrTiO_3 Substrates

Spinel(001)-orientated Mn_3O_4 thin films on Nb-doped SrTiO_3(001) substrates are fabricated via the pulsed laser deposition method.X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy indicate that the as-prepared epitaxial film is well crystallized.In the film plane the orientation relationship between the film and the substrate is[100]Mn_3O_4\\[110]Nb-doped SrTiO_3.After an electroforming process,the film shows bipolar nonvolatile resistance switching behavior.The positive voltage bias drives the sample into a low resistance state,while the negative voltage switches it back to a high resistance state.The switching polarity is different from the previous studies.The complex impedance measurement suggests that the resistance switching behavior is of filament type.Due to the performance reproducibility and state stability,Mn_3O_4 might be a promising candidate for the resistive random access memory devices.     

Composites of nanotubular polyaniline containing Fe3O4 nanoparticles

Results of charge-transport and magnetic measurements of nanotubular polyaniline (PANI) composites containing Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles (～10nm) synthesized by a "template-free" method are reported. The T^{-1/2} resistivity has been observed, and dc magnetic susceptibility data are fitted to an equation χ=χ^*_P+C/T. With increasing weight ratio of Fe_3O_4, the electrical conductivity and temperature- independent susceptibility χ^*_P increase, and the Curie-type susceptibility is suppressed at low temperatures. Further discussions have been given. The PANI-H_3PO_4/Fe_3O_4 composite containing 27wt% of Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles is superparamagnetic, exhibiting very little hysteresis even at 5K.     

Spin Seebeck effect and spin Hall magnetoresistance in the Pt/Y_3Fe_5O_(12) heterostructure under laser-heating

In the previous study of longitudinal spin Seebeck effect(LSSE), the thermal gradient was often generated by inserting the sample between the cool bath and the hot bath. For practical use, this method is too cumbersome to be easily integrated into modern electrical circuits. Since the laser can be easily focused into a small region, it will be more convenient and friendly to the integrated circuit. In this paper, we systematically investigate the LSSE and spin Hall magnetoresistance(SMR) of the Pt/Y_3 Fe_5 O_(12) heterostructure under focused laser-heating. We find that the extremely large voltage of inverse spin Hall effect(VISHE) can be obtained by reducing the diameter of laser or increasing the number of light spots.Meanwhile, even under the illumination of the ultraviolet light which will excite the electron from the valence band to the conduction band in yttrium iron garnet(YIG), the magnitude of SMR is nearly constant. It indicates that the spin transport behavior of the adjacent Pt is independent of the electron configuration of YIG. The laser-heating method to generate LSSE will be very promising for modern integrated electronic circuits and will promote the application of spin caloritronics in practice.
