Brownmillerite KBiFeO (KBFO) and KbiFeTiO (KBFTO) ceramics were synthesized using the prereacted nanopowders of KFeO (KFO) and BiFeO (BFO), and KFO and BiFeTiO (BFTO), respectively, via the reactive templated method. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the monoclinic phase of the KBFO and KBFTO samples. The incorporation of Ti at Fe site prevented the formation of a secondary phase (BiFeO) in the KBFTO sample.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe report the synthesis of single crystalline octahedron-shaped magnetite microcrystals, the preparation of magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) and their magnetorheological properties under steady-state shear conditions. The magnetite microcrystals were synthesized via the template-free hydrothermal route. MRFs with three different particle concentrations (10, 20 and 40 weight%) were prepared and were subjected to steady shear conditions at various externally applied magnetic fields of strength up to 1.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe report the internal field nuclear magnetic resonance (IFNMR) and Mössbauer spectroscopy study of Li-Zn ferrites at RT. The results were supported by the IFNMR data measured at 77 K. As Zn concentration increases the IFNMR echo amplitude decreases and below certain Zn concentration no signal was detected.
