Applications of Nanostructured Ferrites provides an overview of materials design and characterization of ferrite nanomaterials for a diverse array of applications. In particular, the book investigates the large-scale use of ferrite materials, an important category of magnetic materials for environmental remediation such as waste water treatment. In addition, it considers ferrites to enable new technologies in energy, sensing, flexible and conductive electronics, and MEMs applications. This book is suitable for researchers and practitioners in the disciplines of materials science, engineering, chemistry and physics.

Oxides for Medical Applications reviews the most important advances of oxides with optical, magnetic and electronic properties for biomedical applications. Owing to their unusual properties, oxides are expected to play a significant role in the prevention or early treatment of diseases. In addition to catalytically active artificial enzymes based on oxide materials-the book provides comprehensive coverage of the most relevant categories of oxide materials and their properties and applications. Since magnetic oxides are used extensively for a wide range of medical applications, there are numerous chapters that address these materials, including LSMO nanoparticles, ferrites, nanocatalysts, and more. Finally, practical considerations for the translation of these materials from the lab to the clinic are reviewed, including biocompatibility and toxicity of oxide nanoparticles, making this a suitable resource for researchers and practitioners in materials science and engineering in academia and the clinic.

Defect Induced Magnetism in Oxide Semiconductors provides an overview on the latest advances of defect engineering to create new magnetic materials and enable new technological applications. Sections introduce the mechanisms, behavior and theory of magnetism in oxide semiconductors and review methods of inducing magnetism in these materials. Then, strategies such as pulsed laser deposition and RF sputtering to grow oxide nanostructured materials with induced magnetism are discussed. This is followed by a review of the most relevant post-deposition methods to induce magnetism in oxide semiconductors, including annealing, ion irradiation, and ion implantation. Examples of defect induced magnetism in oxide semiconductors are then provided, along with selected applications. This title will be suitable reference for researchers in academia and practitioners in research and development in industry working in the disciplines of materials science and engineering.
