This method offers several advantages, including non-toxicity, cost-effectiveness, scalability, reduced synthesis time and an environmentally sustainable approach to producing MgFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> MNPs without the use of toxic chemicals. The MNPs were characterised using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, zeta potential analysis and evaluation of pH effects on adsorption. XRD analysis revealed a crystallite size of approximately 11 nm with a cubic spinel structure and no impurity phases. The BET surface area of the MgFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> MNPs was measured at 206.34 m<sup>2</sup>/g. The MNPs exhibited superparamagnetic properties with a specific saturation magnetisation of 13.22 emu/g, facilitating easy recycling and reuse. The MNPs were employed as a green nanoadsorbent for removing malachite green from aqueous solutions, achieving approximately 95% removal after 60 min (40 mg of adsorbent and 100 ppm of malachite green). The MNPs exhibited robust recyclability over five cycles with minimal efficiency loss, leveraging their magnetic separability. The Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin, Redlich-Peterson and Hill isotherm models were employed to determine the adsorbent's capacity.

This study explored phase synthesis and examined the physical properties of these alloys by varying the magnesium content, <i>x</i>, for values of 5, 10, 15, 20, 33 and 45 wt. %. To characterise these materials, a range of analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), laser diffraction granulometry and magnetic measurements via a vibrating sample magnetometer, were employed. Furthermore, the apparent density of the alloys was determined using Archimedes' method, revealing a significant reduction in density with increasing magnesium content, thereby confirming the lightweighting effect of the Fe–Mg system. A complete transformation into a body-centred cubic (bcc) α-Fe(Mg) solid solution phase was detected in the Fe<sub>95</sub>Mg<sub>5</sub> sample after 24 h of milling. Increasing magnesium concentration up to 15 wt. % caused an extension of the lattice parameter beyond 0.2880 ± 0.0001 nm, while the average crystallite size, expressed by 〈D〉 (in nm), significantly reduced. Additionally, the level of microdistortions, noted 〈ε〉 (in %), increased, revealing varied trends depending on the magnesium concentration for the bcc α-Fe and hcp Mg phases. Observations from SEM, combined with laser granulometry analyses, indicated a direct correlation between magnesium concentration and particle morphology: low concentration led to finer particles, while high concentration favoured particle agglomeration and increased particle size. TEM microscopy validated these observations, confirming the presence of the α-Fe phase in the Fe<sub>95</sub>Mg<sub>5</sub> alloy. Remarkably, the Fe<sub>80</sub>Mg<sub>20</sub> alloy exhibited a significant coercivity field of 220.7 ± 5 Oe, while maintaining relatively low values of remanence and saturation magnetisation at 29.53 ± 2 emu/g, thereby exhibiting the characteristics of a hybrid magnetic behaviour combining soft and semi-hard magnetic characteristics.</p>","PeriodicalId":18398,"journal":{"name":"Micro & Nano Letters","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/mna2.70028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148381099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The movement and behaviour of these materials become easier to predict in many manufacturing processes when Brownian motion and thermophoretic forces are included. Keeping in view this importance, the impacts of thermal stratification, viscous dissipation, Lorentz forces, and Newtonian heating are effectively incorporated in the rotation of the time-dependent objects. Moreover, the nonlinear materials’ effective rotating motion between the two disks is considered together with the inclusion of the generalised nano-type materials that contain two types of forces, Brownian and thermophoretic. The dynamic complex conduct is formulated mathematically by utilising the momentum, volume fraction, and thermal balance equations. The governing nonlinear system is solved numerically using an improved built-in collocation method implemented in MATLAB software. The results reveal that increasing the unsteadiness parameter enhances the first velocity component, known as radial, while reducing the second one (tangential) near the disk surfaces. Furthermore, the magnetic influence suppresses both velocity profiles due to the resistive Lorentz force effect.
