    Progress in Ferrites Materials: The Past, Present, Future and Their Applications
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021-10-29T00:00:00) Manhas, Anita; Singh, Mahavir; Hussain, Muhammad Irfan; Javed, Yasir; Sharma, Surender K.
    Ferrite is a magnetic substance consist essentially of an oxide of iron combined with one or more other metals such as manganese, copper, nickel, or zinc. They are being routinely utilized especially in electronic devices owing to its good magnetic properties along with high resistivity. � 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Stoichiometry and Orientation- And Shape-Mediated Switching Field Enhancement of the Heating Properties of Fe3 O4 Circular Nanodiscs
    (American Physical Society, 2021-01-28T00:00:00) Niraula, Gopal; Coaquira, Jose A. H.; Aragon, Fermin H.; Bakuzis, Andris F.; Villar, Bianca M. G.; Garcia, Flavio; Muraca, Diego; Zoppellaro, Giorgio; Ayesh, Ahmad I.; Sharma, Surender K.
    The generation of topological magnetic vortex-domain structures in iron-oxide nanomaterials has promising applications in biomedical scenarios, such as heat generators for hyperthermia treatments. In this report we describe alternative kinds of magnetic-vortex nanoparticles, circular Fe3O4 nanodiscs (NDs), and dissect their heating properties by in-depth investigation of their shape and size, stoichiometry, orientations, and switching field "HS"behaviors, through experiments and theoretical simulation. We find that the stoichiometric NDs show better heating performance than nonstoichiometric materials because of the significant electron hopping between Fe3+ and Fe2+ ion. The higher heating efficiency (in terms of specific absorption rate, SAR) is observed only for the higher switching field regime, an effect that is associated with the parallel and perpendicular alignment of nanodiscs with respect to low and high ac magnetic field, respectively. A higher SAR of approximately 270 W/g is observed at a higher switching field (approximately 700 Oe) for NDs of diameter 770 nm, which increases by a factor of 4 at a switching field of approximately 360 Oe for NDs of diameter 200 nm. The reported results suggest that the heating efficiency in these systems can be enhanced by controlling the switching field, which is, in turn, tuned by size, shape, and orientation of circular magnetic vortex nanodiscs. � 2021 American Physical Society.
