Magnetocaloric Effect in Cu5-NIPA Molecular Magnet: A Theoretical Study.

Published: January 2020

We calculated the magnetocaloric properties of the molecular nanomagnet Cu5-NIPA, consisting of five spins S = 1 / 2 arranged in two corner-sharing triangles (hourglass-like structure without magnetic frustration). The thermodynamics of the system in question was described using the quantum Heisenberg model solved within the field ensemble (canonical ensemble) using exact numerical diagonalization. The dependence of the magnetic entropy and magnetic specific heat on the temperature and the external magnetic field was investigated. The isothermal entropy change for a wide range of initial and final magnetic fields was discussed. Due to plateau-like behavior of the isothermal entropy change as a function of the temperature, a high degree of tunability of magnetocaloric effect with the initial and final magnetic field was demonstrated.

Electronic address:

Magnetic nanoparticles effectively target drug delivery, contrast agents, biosensors, and more. Urchin-like magnetic nanoparticles (UMN) with abundant spike-like structures exhibit superior magneto-mechanical force to destroy tumor cells compared with other shapes of magnetic nanoparticles. However, when cell contents are released from tumor cells induced by magneto-mechanical force, they can act on surrounding tumor cells to facilitate tumor development.

Objectives: To assess the predictive value of magnetic resonance imaging for vesicovaginal fistula development in cervical cancer patients with bladder invasion treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of the medical records of 43 cervical cancer patients with bladder invasion between 1999 and 2015. Bladder invasion was confirmed through magnetic resonance imaging (scores ≥3) or cystoscopic findings, with or without biopsy.

Backgrounds/objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has proved the viability of alleviating depression symptoms by stimulating deep reward-related nuclei. This study aims to investigate the abnormal connectivity profiles among superficial, intermediate, and deep brain regions within the reward circuit in major depressive disorder (MDD) and therefore provides references for identifying potential superficial cortical targets for non-invasive neuromodulation.

Methods: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from a cohort of depression patients (N = 52) and demographically matched healthy controls (N = 60).

Magnetic nanoparticles of Nd2Fe14B prepared by ethanol-assisted wet ball milling technique.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Environmental and Occupational Hazards Control Research Center, Research Institute for Health Sciences and Environment, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

The magnetic material Nd2Fe14B is one of the strongest magnetic materials found in nature. The demand for the production of these nanoparticles is significantly high due to their exceptional properties. The aim of the present study is to synthesize magnetic nanoparticles of Nd2Fe14B using ethanol in the wet ball milling technique (WBMT).
