Ferrites are an essential material in modern industry due to their exceptional magnetic properties and high resistivity. Many applications of ferrites necessitate exposure to high energy electrons, particularly space science and particle accelerators, where charging, multipacting, and electron clouds (ECs) are major issues. ECs are of particular concern around the Ni/Zn soft ferrite kicker magnets as the large hadron collider (LHC) undergoes its high luminosity upgrade.

Article Synopsis
  • * The EO was found to have significant insecticidal properties, mainly due to its components hexyl butyrate and octyl acetate, demonstrating lethal concentrations (LC) against various mosquito larvae.
  • * Importantly, the EO and its components displayed low toxicity to human cells, indicating potential for safe use in developing larvicides.
