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...

in the present study, removal of dibenzothiophene (dbt) from model oil (n-hexane) was investigated using magnetic activated carbon (mac) nano-composite adsorbent. the synthesized nano-composite was characterized by ft-ir, fe-sem, bet and vsm techniques. the mac nano-composite exhibited a nearly superparamagnetic property with a saturation magnetization (ms) of 29.2 emu g-1, which made it desira...

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are unique in their ability to synthesize intracellular nano-sized minerals of magnetite and/or greigite magnetosomes for magnetic orientation. Thus, they provide an excellent model system to investigate mechanisms of biomineralization. MTB play important roles in bulk sedimentary magnetism and have numerous versatile applications in paleoenvironmental reconstructio...

We conducted a novel study to capture the on-going advancement of mineral weathering within serpentinite formation by using an integrated approach multi-scale quantitative rock magnetic analyses and nano-resolution geochemical imaging analyses. studied suite samples from Coast Range Ophiolite Microbial Observatory (CROMO) in California conduct enabling us determine character Fe-bearing minerals...

Room temperature magnetic field effects have not been definitively observed in either single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) or C₆₀ under a small magnetic field due to their weak hyperfine interaction and slight difference of g-factor between positive and negative polarons. Here, we demonstrate charge-transfer induced magnetic field effects in nano-carbon C₆₀-SWCNT bulk heterojunctions at room...

In this paper, we report the pyrolysis and formation of magnetic minerals in three source rock samples from the Wessex Basin in Dorset, southern England. The experimental conditions in the laboratory recreated the catagenesis environment of oil source rocks. Magnetic analysis of both the heated and the unheated samples at room temperature and at very low-temperatures (5 K), coupled with transmi...

Current NDT techniques are capable of identifying sub millimetre defects in structural materials. Nanoscale NDT however, necessitates development of new techniques for identifying and sizing surface and more importantly subsurface imperfections. The reliability of micro and especially nano scale components heavily depends on such new developments. This paper presents a first attempt to explore ...

synthesis of bafe12o19 magnetic nano particles via precipitation in different ph conditions have been reported. the certain molar ratio of fe/ba = 12 selected and sodium hydroxide was used as a precipitant agent. x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm) were used to consider the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of bariu...

In this study, the synthesis, characterization and controlled release behavior of new Hollow Silica Nano particles (HSNPs) and Magnetic Silica Nano Particles (MSNPs) were studied. Magnetic Silica Nano particles (MSNPs), as drug delivery vehicles, were synthesized through the coating of Fe3O4 nano-crystals with silica layers. The HSNPs were obtained by removal of Fe3O4 templates with hydrochlori...
