As is well known, it is not so easy to operate a conventional transmission electron microscope for observation of magnetic materials. The reason is that the instrument requires re-alignment of the axis and re-correction of astigmatism after each specimen shift, as the lens field is greatly disturbed by the specimen. With a conventional electron microscope, furthermore, it is impossible to observe magnetic domains, because the specimen is magnetized to single orientation by the lens field. The above mentioned facts are due to the specimen usually being in the lens field. Thus, special techniques or systems are usually required for magnetic material observation (especially magnetic domain observation), for example, the technique to switch off the objective lens current and Lorentz microscopy. But these cannot give high image quality and wide magnification range, and furthermore Lorentz microscopy is very complicated.

Nanoparticles of alpha ferric oxide ([Formula: see text]-Fe2O3) were prepared by the hydrothermal method. Structural properties of [Formula: see text]-Fe2O3 were determined by XRD, SEM and AFM measurements. The particles had a good matching with standard pattern. Average particle size was about 90[Formula: see text]nm and the distribution extended from about 20[Formula: see text]nm to 120[Formula: see text]nm. Biocompatibility study of ferric oxide nanoparticles against bacteria, parasites, tumor cell line and normal cells was determined. No antibacterial activity was observed for the concentration, of ferric oxide nanoparticles in distilled water, up to 1.5[Formula: see text]mg/ml vs. E. coli and S. aureus. Moreover, MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity against parasites and cells. Intermediate cytotoxicity (53.30%) of 1.5[Formula: see text]mg/ml of prepared nanoparticles was noted against L. tropica, while weak cytotoxicity of 5.20% was observed against L. donovani at the same concentration of ferric oxide nanoparticles. On the other hand, the prepared nanoparticles revealed low cytotoxicity (47.28%) against SR tumor cell line, while no cytotoxicity was shown against lymphocytes, as a model of normal cells.

In recent years, industries have been investing to develop a potential alternative fuel to substitute the depleting fossil fuels which emit noxious emissions. Present work investigated the effect of ferrous ferric oxide nano-additive on performance and emission parameters of compression ignition engine fuelled with chicken fat methyl ester blends. The nano-additive was included with various methyl ester blends at different ppm of 50, 100, and 150 through the ultrasonication process. Probe sonicator was utilized for nano-fuel preparation to inhibit the formation of agglomeration of nanoparticles in base fuel. Experimental results revealed that the addition of 100 ppm dosage of ferrous ferric oxide nanoparticles in blends significantly improves the combustion performance and substantially decrease the pernicious emissions of the engine. It is also found from an experimental results analysis that brake thermal efficiency (BTE) improved by 4.84%, a reduction in brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) by 10.44%, brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) by 9.44%, exhaust gas temperature (EGT) by 19.47%, carbon monoxides (CO) by 53.22%, unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) by 21.73%, nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 15.39%, and smoke by 14.73% for the nano-fuel B20FFO100 blend. By seeing of analysis, it is concluded that the doping of ferrous ferric oxide nano-additive in chicken fat methyl ester blends shows an overall development in engine characteristics.

In this work, a novel approach to realize a plasmonic sensor is presented. The proposed optical sensor device is designed, manufactured, and experimentally tested. Two photo-curable resins are used to 3D print a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor. Both numerical and experimental analyses are presented in the paper. The numerical and experimental results confirm that the 3D printed SPR sensor presents performances, in term of figure of merit (FOM), very similar to other SPR sensors made using plastic optical fibers (POFs). For the 3D printed sensor, the measured FOM is 13.6 versus 13.4 for the SPR-POF configuration. The cost analysis shows that the 3D printed SPR sensor can be manufactured at low cost (∼15 €) that is competitive with traditional sensors. The approach presented here allows to realize an innovative SPR sensor showing low-cost, 3D-printing manufacturing free design and the feasibility to be integrated with other optical devices on the same plastic planar support, thus opening undisclosed future for the optical sensor systems.
