Error in Figure

In the original publication, there was a mistake in the caption of Figure 5 as published [1]. The figure caption contained a typographical error, and the scale bars in Figure 5c,d were incorrect. The corrected Figure 5 caption and the revised scale bars for Figure 5c,d appear below.
A concern was also raised regarding the repetition in the background of the diffraction pattern (XRD) for the sample with x = 0.1 in Figure 1. The authors confirm that there is no issue with the previously provided XRD patterns. The apparent repetition is likely due to the values being very close to each other, making them appear nearly identical.
To avoid any confusion, the XRD pattern for x = 0.1 was remeasured, and all XRD data were replotted using Origin software. Both the original and repeated XRD plots are presented below. As shown, there is no significant difference between them, confirming that the XRD pattern for x = 0.1 remains unchanged.
Furthermore, the major peaks appear in the same order at approximately 35.2°, 29.9°, 62.1°, 56.6°, 42.7°, 53°, and 73.4°, all of which are present in both the original and repeated XRD patterns. It is also well known that impurities in spinel ferrites typically appear in the 30°–35° region. Therefore, no changes are needed in the flagged region above 70° for the x = 0.1 sample.
Based on this, the authors conclude that the original XRD patterns are correct, and the previously observed similarity is due to the closeness of the values.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
