High quality Zn0.5CoxFe2.5 – xO4 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15) serial magnetic nanoparticles with single cubic structures were prepared by the modified thermal decomposition method, and Zn0.5CoxFe2.5 – xO4/SiO2 composite magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by surface modification of SiO2. The magnetic anisotropy of the sample increases with the increase of the doping amount of Co2+. When the doping amount is 0.1, the sample shows the transition from superparamagnetism to ferrimagnetism at room temperature. In the Zn0.5CoxFe2.5 – xO4/SiO2 serial samples, the maximum value of specific loss power (SLP) with 1974 W/gmetal can also be found at doping amount of x = 0.1. The composite nanoparticles are expected to be an excellent candidate for clinical magnetic hyperthermia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tumor-targeted magnetic hyperthermia has recently attracted much attention. Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are heat mediator nanoprobes in magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment. In this paper, single cubic spinel structural Zn0.3Fe2.7O4 magnetic NPs with sizes of 14 nm–20 nm were synthesized, followed by coating with SiO2 shell. The SLP value of Zn0.3Fe2.7O4/SiO2 NPs below 20 nm changes non-monotonically with the concentration of solution under the alternating current (AC) magnetic field of 430 kHz and 27 kA/m. SLP values of all Zn0.3Fe2.7O4/SiO2 NPs appear a peak value with change of solution concentration. The solution concentrations with optimal SLP value decrease with increasing magnetic core size. This work can give guidance to the better prediction and control of the magnetic hyperthermia performance of materials in clinical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reports that the absorption spectra of H2O+ have been measured by tunable mid-infrared diode laserspectroscopy in the spectral range of 1100-1380 cm-1. The H2O+ ions are generated in an AC glow discharge of the gaseous mixtures of H2O/He and detected with the velocity modulation technique. Forty new lines are assigned to then2 fundamental band of H2O+(X2B1). The observed lines together with other data published previously are fitted to the standard effective Hamiltonian of an asymmetric top, yielding a set of improved rotational constants, spin-rotation constants and their quartic and sextic centrifugal distortion constants for the n2=1 vibrational state of H2O+.

The rovibrational spectrum of O2—N2O van der Waals complex is measured in the ν1 symmetric stretch region of N2O monomer using a tunable diode laser spectrometer. The complex is generated by a slit-pulsed supersonic expansion with gas mixtures of O2, N2O, and He. Both a- and b-type transitions are observed. The effective Hamiltonian for an open-shell complex consisting of a diatomic molecule in a 3Σ electronic state and a closed-shell partner is used to analyze the observed spectrum. Molecular constants in the vibrationally excited state are determined accurately. The band-origin of the spectrum is determined to be 1284.7504(25) cm−1, red-shifted from that of the N2O monomer by ∼ 0.1529 cm−1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
