Worldwide research activity at the nanoscale is triggering the appearance of new, and
frequently surprising, materials properties in which the increasing importance of surface and …

This review puts in doubt the classical description of the Verwey (metal–insulator) transition
in magnetite on the basis of the wide set of experiments carried out over the last 60 years …

Electron mobility within iron (oxyhydr) oxides enables charge transfer between widely
separated surface sites. There is increasing evidence that this internal conduction influences …

Spin-canting in spinel nanoparticles of maghemite has multiple origins, among which
surface effects, finite-size effects or chemical disorder effects. XMCD at the Fe L2, 3 edges …

The iron L edges are reviewed. The experimental spectra obtained with 2p XAS, XMCD and
2p EELS are discussed, including isolated iron atoms, solids and coordination compounds …

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) is an element-, site-and symmetry-selective
spectroscopic technique that has the potential to provide quantitative information on site …

When studying nominal magnetite nanoparticles, it is mandatory to obtain a precise
structural characterization to get an accurate relationship with their physiochemical …

Platelets of strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19, SFO), up to several micrometers in width, and
tens of nanometers thick have been synthesized by a hydrothermal method. They have been …

X-ray magnetic linear dichroism at the Fe L 2, 3 edges of the ferrimagnet Fe 3 O 4 was found
to exhibit a strong dependence on the relative orientation of external magnetic field, x-ray …

Inverted soft/hard, in contrast to conventional hard/soft, bi-magnetic core/shell nanoparticles
of MnxFe3− xO4/FexMn3− xO4 with two different core sizes (7.5 and 11.5 nm) and fixed …
