Magnetic hyperthermia is an emerging technique used for the treatment of tumors, where the infected cells will be deactivated using the heat generated from magnetic particles. This study discusses the viability of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) in magnetic hyperthermia treatment. YIG is synthesized using hybrid microwave-assisted hydrothermal and sol–gel auto combustion techniques. The formation of the garnet phase is confirmed using powder X-ray diffraction studies. Further, the morphology and grain size of the material are analyzed and estimated with the help of field emission scanning electron microscopy. Transmittance and optical band gap are obtained using UV–visible spectroscopy. Raman scattering of the material is discussed to understand the phase and vibrational modes. The functional groups of garnet are studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Further, the effect of the synthesizing routes on the characteristics of the materials is discussed. A relatively higher magnetic saturation value is observed in the hysteresis loop at room temperature of YIG samples, which is synthesized by a sol–gel auto combustion technique, and it confirms the ferromagnetic behavior. The colloidal stability and surface charge of the prepared YIG are evaluated by a zeta potential measurement. In addition, magnetic induction heating studies are carried out for both prepared samples. The specific absorption rates of 1 mg/mL concentration are 237 and 214 W/g at 35.33 kA/m and 316 kHz field of sol–gel auto combustion and hydrothermal methods, respectively. Due to their higher saturation magnetization of 26.39 emu/g, the sol–gel auto combustion method produced effective YIG and demonstrated superior heating efficiency than the hydrothermally prepared sample. The prepared YIG are biocompatible, and their hyperthermia properties may be explored in various biomedical applications.

BaTiO3 (BT)-doped polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) blend nanocomposites are prepared by a simple solution casting method. The PVA/PVP/BT polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) are characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV–Vis spectroscopy and universal testing machine. The dielectric behaviour of PVA/PVP/BT PNCs is studied from 50 to 5 MHz at a temperature ranging from 35 to 155 °C. The C–O, C=O stretching peaks obtained from FTIR results confirm strong miscibility between PVA/PVP and Ti–O bands. The peaks in XRD data disclose the crystalline nature of the filler in the PNCs. From SEM results, good miscibility is found between the polymers and the filler. AFM study reveals increased roughness in the PNCs with an increase in BT%. The absorption spectrum is noticed to have shifted towards higher wavelengths with BT concentration. The dielectric constant (ε′) is found to be maximum for 5 wt% of BT in the PNCs that also exhibited maximum toughness and Young’s modulus.

This review reports the latest trends in the ceramic composite matrix used for the magnetoelectric (ME) effect. In the last few years, ME composite has become the center of attraction for use in various electrically and magnetically coupled devices. The growth and use of electronic components everywhere have propulsively accelerated the exploration of self-powered electronic and sensor network devices. ME is a feasible technique for addressing difficulties of traditional batteries such as short life span and frequent recharge difficulties. Self-charging multiferroic components have been found for the constant working of mobile electronics that use multiferroic composites in response to magnetoelectric energy transformation. Researchers have rigorously studied the rigid and flexible magnetoelectric composites for their suitability in applications. This paper gives a comparative study between rigid and flexible magnetoelectric composites based on their properties and provides knowledge about the materials for such types of composites. It reviews the latest polymer-based ME materials as well as the related fabrication and polarization methods. The review finally encapsulates the applications in biomedicine, ranging from mechanical energy harvesters to sensors and actuators.

The element carbon has been used as a source of energy for the past few hundred years, and now in this era of technology, carbon has played a significant and very prominent role in almost all fields of science and technology. The interesting characteristic of carbon is its ability to form many allotropes due to its valency. In recent decades, various allotropes and forms of carbon have been invented, including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and graphene. So as an honor to this marvelous element, we humans should know about its various forms of existence. In this present work, we shed light on structural studies of commercially available and self-synthesized carbon nanoparticles. A brief introduction is given to the types, structures, and shapes of the allotropes of carbon for a better understanding. The crystallographic structure of the carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak profile analysis. The microstructure is characterized based on crystallite size, interplanar spacing, density, strain, and dislocation density. Raman spectroscopy is particularly well studied to characterize the molecular morphology of CNMs.

Pb1-xCoxFe12O19 nano-crystallites with an average crystal diameter varying between 74 and 86 nm are prepared via sol-gel auto-combustion. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies confirmed the single-phase P63/mmc space group. The surface morphology of the samples carried out using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) revealed the long hexagonal structure of the ferrites. Dielectric characterization is studied from room temperature to 800 K and in the frequency range of 100 Hz to 5 MHz. The ferrites exhibited two transition peaks in this temperature region which are attributed to phase transitions between ferroelectric to anti-ferroelectric and anti-ferroelectric to paraelectric phase. The composition x = 0.75 is suitable for high definition television deflection yokes for it has exhibited the highest dielectric constant, low ac electrical conductivity.
