Cover Story (view full-size image): The reaction between LiCp* (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienylide) and RECl3 (RE = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) generated a series of trinuclear rare-earth cluster complexes [(Li(THF)(Et2O))(Cp*RE)3(μ-Cl)4(μ3-Cl)2(μ4-Cl)] (RE3) with coordination by capping Cp* and bridging chloro ligands. The relative disposition of the Cp* ligands has been shown to strongly affect the superexchange interactions in Gd3 and intramolecular dipolar interactions in Dy3. Furthermore, complex Dy3 behaves as a single-molecule magnet with slow magnetic relaxation under a zero DC applied field up to 23 K and an energy barrier of 125(6) cm−1. View this paper

The structure and magnetic properties of Sm6−xLaxMn23 (x = 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4) alloys have been studied systematically. We found that the Th6Mn23-type Sm6−xLaxMn23 alloys become less stable with increasing La content, and α-Mn becomes the dominant phase at x = 4. More impurities were found to present in Sm5LaMn23 samples prepared by a rapid solidification process than those present in the as-cast ingots. The coercivity of Sm4La2Mn23 induction-melted ingots and Sm5LaMn23 melt-spun ribbons reached up to 0.47 T and 0.53 T, respectively, indicating potential applications of this alloy in hard magnetic materials. The Curie temperature of Sm6−xLaxMn23 falls in the range of 398 K for x = 1 to 438 K for x = 3. The La-substitution results in a reduced saturation magnetization of Sm6−xLaxMn23, owing to a reduced total-magnetic-moment contribution of the Sm-sublattices. This work provides us a deeper understanding of the effect of La-substitution on the structure and magnetic properties of the ternary La-Sm-Mn alloys. Full article

Polycrystalline nickel–zinc (NiZn) ferrites are widely used in high-frequency applications due to their excellent magnetic properties such as low power losses, high magnetic permeability, and adequate saturation induction. However, data on their power loss behavior at 10 MHz, particularly at elevated temperatures, remain limited in the literature. This study investigates the magnetic performance of Co-doped NiZn ferrites at 10 MHz, under varying induction fields (3–10 mT) and temperatures (20–120 °C), with a focus on reducing high-temperature losses. Ferrite samples were synthesized using the conventional mixed oxide method and systematically varied in composition (Fe, Co content and Ni/Zn molar ratio). Key findings reveal that the incorporation of cobalt significantly enhances high-temperature performance by shifting resonance frequencies, attributed to increased domain wall pinning. Samples with optimized compositions and processing demonstrated power losses at 10 MHz, 10 mT and 25 °C, 100 °C and 120 °C as low as 310 mW cm−3, 1233 mW cm−3 and 1400 mW cm−3, respectively, with relative initial permeabilities exceeding 80 at these temperatures. These results provide insights into the design of high-frequency magnetic components and highlight strategies to minimize high-temperature losses. Full article

Two iron(III) spin crossover complexes [Fe(5Cl-L)(NCS)] (1) and [Fe(5Cl-L)(NCSe)] (2) were synthesized with the pentadentate Schiff base ligand 5Cl-L and thiocyanato and selenocyanato as coligands. 5Cl-L, as an asymmetric {N3O2} donor Schiff base, was synthesized by a condensation reaction of 5-chlorosalicyladehyde using the asymmetric N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine. The complexes exhibited a spin crossover at 280 (1) and 293 K (2), respectively, and were subjected to electron spin resonance (ESR) and Mössbauer spectroscopy at 77, 295 and 325 K. Ab initio CASSCF calculations followed by the NEVPT2 method were applied for predicting the g-tensor components as well as Mössbauer parameters. Full article

We have investigated for the first time the temperature, size, and ion-doping concentration dependence of the magnetic properties, band-gap energy, and specific heat of CuFeO2 in both bulk materials and nanoparticles using a microscopic model (the s-d model) and Green’s function theory. Variations in the ionic radii of the dopant elements compared to those of the host ions introduce strain effects, which alter the exchange-interaction constants. Consequently, the influence of ion doping on the various properties of CuFeO2 nanoparticles has been elucidated at a microscopic level. The magnetization exhibits an increase when CuFeO2 is doped with Mn at the Fe site or Li and Ca at the Cu site, whereas doping with Sc or Mg at the Fe site leads to a decrease in magnetization. Regarding the band-gap energy, it increases upon doping with Mg and Sc at the Fe site, while doping with Mn at the Fe site or with Li and Ca at the Cu site results in a decrease. The temperature dependence of the specific heat reveals two distinct peaks, corresponding to the two magnetic phase-transition temperatures. The theoretical results show good qualitative agreement with experimental data, confirming the validity of the proposed model. Full article

Two organic–inorganic materials (TMAA)2[CoCl4] (1) and (TMAA)2[MnCl4] (2) (TMAA = N,N,N-trimethyl-1-adamantylammonium hydroxide) were synthesized and characterized. It was found that both compounds exhibit first-order structural phase transition at high-temperature regions. As the temperature approaches the phase transition point, significant abnormal changes were observed in the dielectric properties and χMT values of compounds 1 and 2. This phenomenon strongly highlights the dielectric bistable and spin bistable properties of compounds 1 and 2. Further research shows that the dielectric constants of the compounds undergo significant changes upon the application of an external magnetic field, providing strong evidence for the existence of magnetic–dielectric coupling effects within compounds 1 and 2.

In the current paper, an analysis of magnetohydrodynamic Williamson nanofluid boundary layer flow is presented, with multiple slips in a porous medium, using a newly designed human-brain-inspired Ricker wavelet neural network solver. The solver employs a hybrid approach that combines genetic algorithms, serving as a global search method, with sequential quadratic programming, which functions as a local optimization technique. The heat and mass transportation effects are examined through a stretchable surface with radiation, thermal, and velocity slip effects. The primary flow equations, originally expressed as partial differential equations (PDEs), are changed into a dimensionless nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via similarity transformations. These ODEs are then numerically solved with the proposed computational approach. The current study has significant applications in a variety of practical engineering and industrial scenarios, including thermal energy systems, biomedical cooling devices, and enhanced oil recovery techniques, where the control and optimization of heat and mass transport in complex fluid environments are essential. The numerical outcomes gathered through the designed scheme are compared with reference results acquired through Adam’s numerical method in terms of graphs and tables of absolute errors. The rapid convergence, effectiveness, and stability of the suggested solver are analyzed using various statistical and performance operators. Full article

The impact of rhenium doping on the transport properties and electron localization in monolayer graphene was experimentally investigated. In this study, we report the emergence of unsaturated negative magnetoresistance in Re-doped graphene devices, which is observed exclusively at low temperatures. Moreover, angle-dependent measurements reveal a pronounced anisotropy in the negative magnetoresistance. This phenomenon is attributed to the disorder and localized magnetic moments introduced by Re doping, which lead to charge carrier localization and are accompanied by substantial magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy.

Organometallic rare-earth complexes have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their unique structures and exceptional magnetic properties. In this study, we report the synthesis and magnetic characteristics of a family of monopentamethylcyclopentadienyl-coordinated trinuclear rare-earth hepta-chloride clusters [(Li(THF)(Et2O))(Cp*RE)3(μ-Cl)4(μ3-Cl)2(μ4-Cl)] (RE3: RE =Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu; Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienide). These clusters were synthesized by reacting LiCp* with RECl3 in a 1:1 molar ratio within a mixed solvent system (THF: Et2O = 1:9), resulting in high solubility in common organic solvents such as DCM, THF, and Et2O. Magnetic studies conducted on these paramagnetic clusters reveal the coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic superexchange interactions in Gd3. Additionally, Dy3 exhibits both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic intramolecular dipolar interactions. Notably, slow magnetic relaxation was observed in Dy3 below 23 K under a zero DC applied field with an energy barrier of 125(6) cm−1. Full article

This study focuses on understanding the bioconvection in Jeffery–Hamel (JH) flow, which has valuable applications in areas like converging dies, hydrology, and the automotive industry, which make it a topic of practical importance. This research aims to explore Homogeneous–Heterogeneous (HH) chemical reactions in a magnetic Darcy–Forchheimer model with bioconvection in convergent/divergent channels. To analyze the role of porosity, the Darcy–Forchheimer law is applied. The main system of equations is simplified through similarity transformation into ordinary differential equations solved numerically with the help of the NDSolve technique. The results, compared with previous studies for validation, are presented through graphs and tables. The study reveals that in divergent channels, the velocity decreases with higher solid volume fractions, while in convergent channels, it increases. Furthermore, various physical parameters, such as the Eckert number and porosity parameter, increase skin friction in divergent channels but decrease it in convergent channels. These findings suggest that the parameters investigated in this study can effectively enhance homogeneous reactions, providing valuable insights for practical applications. Full article

In this study, we aimed to induce controlled structural disorder through a double substitution approach in the La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 compound by investigating La0.5−xRexCa0.5−yAeyMnO3 compounds with x = 0.05 and 0.1 and Re = Eu, Nd, Gd, Pr, and Ae = Ba and Sr. The y values are adjusted to maintain a constant average ionic radius (<rA> = 1.198 Å) and an unchanged Mn3+/Mn4+ ratio. These samples were synthesized using the sol–gel method. XRD analysis confirms structural stability despite the induced disorder, showing subtle lattice distortions. Magnetic measurements reveal that introducing low disorder annihilates the charge ordered (CO) state, enhances double-exchange interactions, and influences the ferromagnetic (FM) volume fractions. Moderate disorder strengthens AFM–CO state, triggering a first–order metamagnetic transition and reducing the Curie temperature value. Magnetic field-dependent magnetization data show disorder dependent magnetic behavior and suggest the presence of the Griffiths phase for all samples, confirming the role of structural disorder in tuning magnetic phase coexistence. Pr-based samples display a considerable magnetocaloric effect near their Curie temperature. Full article
