Iron oxide exhibits fascinating physical properties especially in the nanometer range, not
only from the standpoint of basic science, but also for a variety of engineering, particularly …

We review case studies of diffusion in nanocrystalline ceramics, ie polycrystalline non-
metallic materials with average grain sizes typically in the range from 5 to 50 nm. The …

Nowadays, magnetic hyperthermia constitutes a complementary approach to cancer
treatment. The use of magnetic particles as heating mediators, proposed in the 1950s …

The ability to engineer surface properties of nanocrystals (NCs) is important for various
applications, as many of the physical and chemical properties of nanoscale materials are …

The performance of magnetic nanoparticles is intimately entwined with their structure, mean
size and magnetic anisotropy. Besides, ensembles offer a unique way of engineering the …

The last glacial cycle was characterized by substantial millennial-scale climate
fluctuations,,,,, but the extent of any associated changes in global sea level (or, equivalently …

Interest in magnetic nanoparticles has increased in the past few years by virtue of their
potential for applications in fields such as ultrahigh-density recording and medicine,,,. Most …

Some of the most relevant finite-size and surface effects in the magnetic and transport
properties of magnetic fine particles and granular solids are reviewed. The stability of the …

We show a simple, robust, chemical route to the fabrication of ultrahigh-density arrays of
nanopores with high aspect ratios using the equilibrium self-assembled morphology of …

We propose a very simple one-dimensional swimmer consisting of three spheres that are
linked by rigid rods whose lengths can change between two values. With a periodic motion …
