iron oxide minerals in soils provide valuable insights into pedogenic processes. a wealth of such information has been obtained by rock magnetic investigations on temperate soils but similar studies on tropical soils are rare. here, we report rock magnetic data on pristine soil profiles and surficial soils from five catchments in the tropical southern india and throw light on the pedogenic proc...

This study describes a new strategy toward the development of advanced immunosensors based on chemically functionalized magnetic-core/porous-shell CoFe2O4/Cu2O composite nanoparticles, and the preparation, characterization, and measurement of relevant properties of the immunosensor useful for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in clinical immunoassay. The immunosensor based on...

Nanocrystalline strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19) powders have been successfully synthesized using the facile Co-precipitation method. The ferrite precursors were achieved from mixtures of strontium and ferric chloride in an aqueous medium without any surfactant and soft template. The as-received powders were calcined at 800 and 1000 ˚C for 2 hours in air. The final powders were characterized b...

In recent years, the establishment of an ultimate machining method for realizing further ultra precision, ultra smoothness, and ultra micronization is becoming increasingly essential in the manufacture of various microdevices, which are functional structures. This need demand is particularly strong in the areas of object electronics, mechatronics, biology, and medicine. The accuracy sought rang...

Analytical chemistry has experienced, as well as other areas of science, a big change due to the needs and opportunities provided by analytical nanoscience and nanotechnology. Now, nanotechnology is increasingly proving to be a powerful ally of analytical chemistry to achieve its objectives, and to simplify analytical processes. Moreover, the information needs arising from the growing nanotechn...

nicu alloy nanowires arrays were embedded into the anodic aluminum oxide (aao) template by ac-pulse electrodeposition. different off-time were used in electrolyte with constant concentration of ni and cu and acidity of 3. the effect of deposition parameters on alloy contents was investigated by studying the microstructure and magnetic properties of as-deposited nicu alloy nanowires. atomic forc...
