Magnetically‐Confined Fe‐Mn Bimetallic Oxide Encapsulation as an Efficient and Recoverable Adsorbent for Arsenic(III) Removal

Synthesis of bimetallic‐oxide‐encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles is still significantly challenging and has rarely been attempted previously, due to the effects of lattice mismatch, weak chemical interactions and variances in growth rates between different components, as well as the difficulty in process control for uniform co‐deposition. In the present work, Fe‐Mn bimetallic oxide (FMBO) nanoplatelet encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles (Mag‐FeMn) are prepared by controlled engineering of the interparticle coupling of Fe₃O₄ and FMBO, with its multifunctional capabilities highlighted in terms of the potentially superior As(III) sequestration and convenient recoverability. Multiple characterization techniques are employed to examine the derived morphologies and to accurately resolve both compositionally and magnetically the hierarchical structure in detail. The synthesized magnetic composites retain highly porous structure with the main components of Fe₂O₃, FeOOH, Fe₃O₄, and Mn₃O₄. Mag‐FeMn exhibits a quite competitive high capacity for As(III) capture (56.1 mg g^–1), whereby As(III) oxidation coupled with synchronous sorption contributes to the improved performance. The unique heterostructure of FMBO encapsulation with an embedded magnetic core would be applicable to help with rational synthesis of other bimetallic oxide encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles, and definitely shows promise for the development of new nanotechnology enabled approaches for adsorption‐based water purification.     

Vibrational properties of graphene and graphene layers

The phonon dispersions of graphene and graphene layers are theoretically investigated within fifth‐nearest‐neighbor force‐constant approach. Based on their symmetry groups, the number of Raman‐ and infrared‐active modes at the Γ point is given. Interatomic force constants are recalculated by fitting them to experimental phonon energy dispersion curves. Wavenumbers of optically active modes are presented as a function of number of layers (n). Our calculated results reproduce well the experimental data of G peak for graphene (1587 cm⁻¹) and graphite (1581.6 cm⁻¹) and clearly give the relation that ω_G = 1581.6 + 11/(1 + n^1.6).

Sintering characteristics of LiZn ferrites fabricated by a sol-gel process

Ultra-fine powders of LiZn ferrites with composition of Li_0.4Zn_0.2Fe_2.4O₄ were synthesized by a sol-gel process. X-ray diffraction pattern reflected that the synthesized powders were single spinel structure, with crystallite size of about 35 nm. Then the powders were granulated, pressed and sintered at different temperatures. The sintered samples were investigated by means of characterizing microstructures and magnetic properties by scanning electron microscope and B-H analyzer, respectively. The results indicate that when compared with a traditional ceramic process, the sol-gel process could slightly bring down the sintering temperature of LiZn ferrite whereas the microstructures are not homogeneous in the sintered samples. The sintering mechanisms of LiZn ferrites sintered at 1360 °C were studied, which reveal that during sintering, solid mass transfer is dominant in the LiZn ferrites fabricated by a traditional ceramic process while in the gel-derived ferrites, gas mass transfer is dominant.

Dispersion characteristics of two-dimensional unmagnetized dielectric plasma photonic crystal

This paper studies dispersion characteristics of the transverse magnetic (TM) mode for two-dimensional unmagnetized dielectric plasma photonic crystal by a modified plane wave method. First, the cutoff behaviour is made clear by using the Maxwell--Garnett effective medium theory, and the influences of dielectric filling factor and dielectric constant on effective plasma frequency are analysed. Moreover, the occurence of large gaps in dielectric plasma photonic crystal is demonstrated by comparing the skin depth with the lattice constant, and the influence of plasma frequency on the first three gaps is also studied. Finally, by using the particle-in-cell simulation method, a transmission curve in the \Gamma -X direction is obtained in dielectric plasma photonic crystal, which is in accordance with the dispersion curves calculated by the modified plane wave method, and the large gap between the transmission points of 27~GHz and 47~GHz is explained by comparing the electric field patterns in particle-in-cell simulation.
