Graphical Abstract
  • . The experiments show that during this aggregation process, a phase transformation towards the stoichiometric Co2FeO4 phase occurs. Such phase transformations have been discussed previously [12]. The lack of literature concerning the more cobalt-rich ferrite phase currently prevents a more detailed
  • mesocrystals remain after the aggregation of primary building blocks can be explained by the starting composition. Before the secondary particle is formed, a phase transformation from the iron-rich phase to cobalt-rich phase takes place. The initial starting composition is richer in iron though, while the

Graphical Abstract
  • -temperature phase transformation is also obtained by using low-energy electron irradiation [44]. Another alternative to improve the crystallinity of as-deposited nanostructures is to use higher energy electron irradiation in TEM, with 200 kV electrons used to remove the amorphous carbon [32].

This indicates that the phase transformation from an amorphous to the ordered L10 phase is accompanied by a corresponding phase transition from a superparamagnetic to a moderately hard ferromagnetic state. The overall magnetic properties of these samples depend strongly on the

Thus, there is a phase transformation from h-MoO3 to α-MoO3 at 400 °C, which is inferred from TGA/DTA studies [14][16]. With an increase in temperature, the
