Nanomagnetism: Seminar at the Waterloo Institute of Nanotechnology

In May 2016 I presented a seminar at the Waterloo Institute of Nanotechnology (WIN). The whole seminar can be seen HERE.  

RSC Advances: Unusual magnetic damping effect in a silver–cobalt ferrite hetero nano-system

The static and dynamic magnetic response of the newly synthesized CoFe2O4–Ag hetero nano-system showed significant enhancement in the effective energy barrier and reduction of the magnetic hardness of CoFe2O4 upon interaction with non-magnetic Ag as compared to neat CoFe2O4. The observed magnetic properties of CoFe2O4–Ag have been dissected in detail using the superparamagnetic Stoner–Wohlfarth and …

Compact Ag@Fe3O4 Core-shell Nanoparticles by Means of Single-step Thermal Decomposition Reaction

Figure 1

A temperature pause introduced in a simple single-step thermal decomposition of iron, with the presence of silver seeds formed in the same reaction mixture, gives rise to novel compact heterostructures: brick-like Ag@Fe3O4 core-shell nanoparticles. This novel method is relatively easy to implement, and could contribute to overcome the challenge of obtaining a multifunctional heteroparticle in …
