The attractive electronic and magnetic properties together with their biocompatibility make iron-oxide nanoparticles appear as functional materials. In Fe-oxide nanoparticle (IONP) ensembles, it is crucial to enhance their performance thanks to controlled size, shape, and stoichiometry ensembles. In light of this, we conduct a comprehensive investigation in an ensemble of 28 nm cuboid-shaped IONPs in which all the analyses concur with the coexistence of magnetite/maghemite phases in their cores. Here, we are disclosing the Verwey transition by temperature dependent (4-210 K) Raman spectroscopy.

Banded iron formations (BIFs) are chemical sedimentary rocks commonly utilized for exploring the chemistry and redox state of the Precambrian ocean. Despite their significance, many aspects regarding the crystallization pathways of iron oxides in BIFs remain loosely constrained. In this study, we combine magnetic properties characterization with high-resolution optical and electron imaging of finely laminated BIFs from the 2.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving spin transport between heavy metals and 2D magnetic materials for advanced spintronic technology, highlighting the importance of high Curie temperatures.
- Environmentally stable nonlayered FeO nanosheets were synthesized, demonstrating vortex magnetic domains at room temperature and a Verwey phase transition temperature of around 110 K.
- The findings reveal how properties like anisotropic magnetoresistance and spin Hall magnetoresistance vary with temperature, suggesting that 2D FeO nanosheets are promising for high-performance micro spintronic storage applications.

In the sludge dewatering process, a formidable challenge arises due to the robust interactions between extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and bound water. This study introduces a novel, synergistic conditioning method that combines iron (Fe)/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and polyacrylamide (PAM) to significantly enhance sludge dewatering efficiency. The application of the Fe/PMS-PAM conditioning method led to a substantial reduction in specific filtration resistance (SFR) by 82.

Phase transitions occurring in nonequilibrium conditions can evolve through high-energy intermediate states inaccessible via equilibrium adiabatic conditions. Because of the subtle nature of such hidden phases, their direct observation is extremely challenging and requires simultaneous visualization of matter at subpicoseconds and subpicometer scales. Here, we show that a magnetite crystal in the vicinity of its metal-to-insulator transition evolves through different hidden states when controlled via energy-tuned ultrashort laser pulses.

Protein molecules associate in solution, often in clusters beyond pairwise, leading to liquid phase separations and high viscosities. It is often impractical to study these multi-protein systems by atomistic computer simulations, particularly in multi-component solvents. Instead, their forces and states can be studied by liquid state statistical mechanics.
