This review puts in doubt the classical description of the Verwey (metal–insulator) transition
in magnetite on the basis of the wide set of experiments carried out over the last 60 years …

This paper presents a review of the research which is focused on ferrite thin films for
spintronics. First, I will describe the potential of ferrite layers for the generation of spin …

UV-light-induced electron–hole (e–/h+) pair generation with free radical production in TiO2-
based nanoparticles is a major conceptual paradigm for biological injury. However, to date …

We have synthesized uniform and highly crystalline magnetite nanoparticles from the
reaction of iron salts in microemulsion nanoreactors. The particle size can be controlled from …

Spin-canting in spinel nanoparticles of maghemite has multiple origins, among which
surface effects, finite-size effects or chemical disorder effects. XMCD at the Fe L2, 3 edges …

The iron L edges are reviewed. The experimental spectra obtained with 2p XAS, XMCD and
2p EELS are discussed, including isolated iron atoms, solids and coordination compounds …

We present measurements of the spin and orbital magnetic moments of F e 3 O 4 by using
SQUID and magnetic circular dichroism in soft x-ray absorption. The measurements show …

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) is an element-, site-and symmetry-selective
spectroscopic technique that has the potential to provide quantitative information on site …

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have shown exceptional potential for several biological and
clinical applications. However, MNPs must be coated by a biocompatible shell for such …

Complex oxide films stabilized by epitaxial growth can exhibit large populations of point
defects which have important effects on their properties. The site occupancy of pulsed laser …
