Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic microspheres offer great potential in a variety of applications, both in their bare form and when covered with a surface layer and functional groups chosen for specific uses.

Because of the widespread applications of magnetic microspheres in biotechnology, biomedicine, material science, engineering and environmental areas, a great deal of attention has been paid to the synthesis of different kinds of magnetic microspheres. Each potential application of the magnetic microspheres requires that they possess different properties. Given that the magnetic properties of powders are controlled by microstructure, shape, size or processing conditions, progress in this area will increase our ability to control and design the properties of the materials of the future.

The aim of this Special Issue is to gather contributions that address current progress in the field of magnetic microspheres through synthesis, doping, modelling, advanced characterization and beyond.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marian Grigoras

Zn0.6Mg0.4CrxFe2−xO4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) nanoparticles were synthesized using a hydrothermal technique. The obtained magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) exhibited a spinel structure, where the lattice constant decreased with the Cr3+ ion content. The doping of Cr3+ ion (x = 0.1) increased the specific saturation magnetization to 46.4 emu/g but decreased to 20.0 emu/g with the further increase in the Cr3+ ion content to x = 0.4. The decrement in Curie temperature was ascribed to the weakened super-exchange interaction between the metal ions located at A-sites and B-sites, which arose from the doping of the Cr3+ ion. The T2-weighted images gradually darkened with the increase in Zn0.6Mg0.4Cr0.1Fe1.9O4 nanoparticles concentration, suggesting that the nanoparticles can enhance the image contrast. Zn0.6Mg0.4CrxFe2−xO4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) nanoparticles were able to heat the agar phantom to the hyperthermia temperature under the safe alternating magnetic field, which showed their potential in the magnetic induction hyperthermia.

We have studied the magnetic properties of ion doped MnFe2O4 nanoparticles with the help of a modified Heisenberg model and Green’s function theory taking into account all correlation functions. The magnetization Ms and the Curie temperature TC increase with decreasing particle size. This is the opposite behavior than that observed in CoFe2O4 and CoCr2O4 nanoparticles. By Co, Mg or Ni doping, Ms and TC increase with enhancing the dopant concentration, whereas, by La or Gd doping, the opposite effect is obtained due to the different doping and host ionic radii which change the exchange interaction constants. The band gap energy Eg is calculated from the s–d model. It can decrease or increase by different ion doping. The peak observed in the temperature dependence of the specific heat at TC is field dependent. Full article

In this paper, 3 µm length and 200 nm diameter CoPt nanowire arrays (NWs) with different Co contents were prepared by electrodeposition at a controlled potential from an aqueous hexachloroplatinate solution. The synthesis occurred at two different solution pH values (2.5 and 5.5) in an electrochemical bath free of additives, as well as with saccharin as an organic additive. A complete morphological, compositional, structural and magnetic characterization of the as-prepared nanowires has been carried out. The results show that, by controlling the electrodeposition conditions, the Co content of the alloy can be tuned from 16% to 92%. The crystalline structure of the as-deposited compounds can also be controlled, with the obtained data showing that the face-centered cubic (fcc) crystalline structure changes into a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure when saccharin is used as an organic additive during the electrodeposition. The changes in the alloy’s composition and crystalline structure strongly influence the magnetic properties of the NW’s arrays. Full article

The effectiveness of a Fe3O4-loaded fly ash composite for the adsorption of Congo red dye was assessed in this work. The structure and properties of the magnetic adsorbent were established by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The magnetic results showed a saturation magnetization value of 6.51 emu/g and superparamagnetic behavior. The main parameters that influence the removal of Congo red dye adsorbent such as dose, initial concentration, and contact time were examined. The Freundlich adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best fit for the experimental findings. The Congo red dye’s maximum adsorption capacity of 154 mg/g was reported in the concentration range of 10–100 mg/L, using the proposed magnetic adsorbent. The results of the recyclability investigation demonstrated that the circular economy idea is valid. The adsorbent that was synthesized was also further characterized by XRD and FTIR techniques after Congo red dye adsorption. Full article

Ce14Fe78Co2B6 nanopowders with hard-magnetic properties have been successfully prepared by ball milling at low temperatures in liquid nitrogen. The morphology, structure, and magnetic properties of Ce14Fe78Co2B6 powders have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometry, respectively. It was found that powder ball milling at low temperature in liquid nitrogen, has the advantage that the oxidation of powders is inhibited and the particles rapidly reach nanometric dimensions. In comparison to the Ce14Fe78Co2B6 powders prepared by ball milling at room temperature, the powders milled at low temperature present a more uniform particle size and no rare-earth oxides, which leads thus to remarkable magnetic properties. The nanocrystalline Ce14Fe78Co2B6 powders with optimum characteristics, prepared at low temperature, have the size of 153 nm or less, present a coercivity of 5.1 kOe, and a saturation magnetization of 113 emu/g after milling for 6 h at low temperature. Low temperature milling may become a promising technique for the fabrication of high performance powders used for permanent magnets preparation. Full article
