Nanotechnology has gained much attention for its potential application in medical science.
Iron oxide nanoparticles have demonstrated a promising effect in various biomedical …

Multiferroics—materials which are simultaneously (ferro) magnetic and ferroelectric, and
often also ferroelastic—attract now considerable attention, both because of the interesting …

Describing all aspects of the physics of transition metal compounds, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of this unique and diverse class of solids. Beginning with the basic …

The mineral magnetite (Fe3O4) undergoes a complex structural distortion and becomes
electrically insulating at temperatures less than 125 kelvin. Verwey proposed in 1939 that …

In this contribution to the special issue on multiferroics we focus on multiferroicity driven by
different forms of charge ordering. We will present the generic mechanisms by which charge …

Using the strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) and SCAN+ U
approximations for describing electron exchange correlation (XC) within density functional …

The renewed interest in magnetite (Fe3O4) as a major phase in different types of catalysts
has led us to study the oxidation–reduction behaviour of its most prominent surfaces. We …

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 …

This comprehensive study investigates the properties of chemical nanomagnetic iron oxide
particles (CNMIOPs) synthesized through a chemical method. The primary objective is to …

Ordered mesoporous Fe3O4 with crystalline walls (inverse spinel structure) has been
synthesized for the first time, representing to the best of our knowledge, the first synthesis of …
