Superexchange Mechanism
By using a superexchange mechanism, the unpaired spins of metal ions are coupled through shared oxide ions.
THE QUESTION
What Medical Applications?
In ferrite spinels, electron spins at tetrahedral sites have one orientation, while electron spins at octahedral sites have the opposite orientation. If the number of spins in these two types of sites is the same, the spinel is antiferromagnetic. If not, it would be ferromagnetic.
Anti-ferro magnetic substances show weak magnetism, whereas diamagnetic substances show no magnetism at all.
Spinel ferrite's structure exhibits exceptional multifunctional properties such as excellent magnetic properties, a high specific surface area, surface active sites, high chemical stability, tuneable shape and scale, and functionalization options.
The inherent properties of CoFe2O4 NPs make them excellent candidates for biomedical nanotechnology. They are made using various synthesis methods, which affect their properties. CoFe2O4 NPs and their related applications are highly regarded in biotechnology and bioengineering.

With over ten years of marketing experience, I finally decided to settle down in Bangkok to work in an area that I have always been interested in: the gemstones industry. I'm still learning how the market works on a daily basis, and I enjoy sharing my experience with those who are interested in learning more about gems in general.
