This study investigated the effect of adding strontium (Sr)-doped cobalt ferrite (CoFeO) nanoparticles in carbonyl iron particle (CIP)-based magnetorheological fluids (MRFs). Sr-CoFeO nanoparticles were fabricated at different particle sizes using co-precipitation at calcination temperatures of 300 and 400 °C. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to evaluate the morphology of the Sr-CoFeO nanoparticles, which were found to be spherical.

The increasing Hubbard energy () in the Mn 3d orbital induces the increasing local-symmetry distortions (LSDs) in MnAs and OLa tetrahedra. The LSD in MnAs tetrahedra is possibly promoted by the second-order Jahn-Teller effect in the Mn 3d orbital.
