The nano-particle systems under theoretically and experimentally investigation because of the potential applications in the nano-technology such as drug delivery, ferrofluids mechanics, magnetic data storage, sensors, magnetic resonance imaging, and cancer therapy. Recently, it is reported that interacting nano-particles behave as spin-glasses and experimentally show that the relaxation of these systems obeys stretched exponential i.e., KWW relaxation. Therefore, in this study, considering the interacting nano-particle systems we model the relaxation and investigate frequency and temperature behaviour depends on slow relaxation by using a simple operator formalism. We show that relaxation deviates from Debye and obeys to KWW in the presence of the memory effects in the system. Furthermore, we obtain the frequency and temperature behaviour depend on KWW relaxation. We conclude that the obtained results are consistent with experimental results and the simple model, presented here, is very useful and pedagogical to discuss the slow relaxation of the interacting nano-particles.

We study a granular gas of viscoelastic particles (kinetic energy loss upon collision is a function of the particles relative velocities at impact) subject to a stochastic thermostat. We show that the system displays anomalous cooling and heating rates during thermal relaxation processes, this causing the emergence of thermal memory. In particular, a significant textit{Mpemba effect} is present; i.e., an initially hotter/cooler granular gas can cool down/heat up faster than an in comparison cooler/hotter granular gas. Moreover, a textit{Kovacs effect} is also observed; i.e., a non-monotonic relaxation of the granular temperature --if the gas undergoes certain sudden temperature changes before fixing its value. Our results show that both memory effects have distinct features, very different and eventually opposed to those reported in theory for granular fluids under simpler collisional models. We study our system via three independent methods: approximate solution of the kinetic equation time evolution and computer simulations (both molecular dynamics simulations and Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method), finding good agreement between them.
The magnetic properties of platinum nano-particles ranging in size from a few to up 300 atoms are investigated through first-principle calculations. It is found that the total magnetization depends strongly on the local atomic rearrangements, with an enhancement around five-fold axis. This is due to an elongation of the nearest neighbor distance together with a contraction of the 2$^{nd}$ distance, resulting in a net interatomic partial charge transfer from the atoms lying on the sub-surface layer (donor) towards the vertexes (acceptor).
We have studied the electronic structure of Zn$_{0.9}$Fe$_{0.1}$O nano-particles, which have been reported to show ferromagnetism at room temperature, by x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), resonant photoemission spectroscopy (RPES), x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). From the experimental and cluster-model calculation results, we find that Fe atoms are predominantly in the Fe$^{3+}$ ionic state with mixture of a small amount of Fe$^{2+}$ and that Fe$^{3+}$ ions are dominant in the surface region of the nano-particles. It is shown that the room temperature ferromagnetism in the Zn$_{0.9}$Fe$_{0.1}$O nano-particles is primarily originated from the antiferromagnetic coupling between unequal amounts of Fe$^{3+}$ ions occupying two sets of nonequivalent positions in the region of the XMCD probing depth of $sim$ 2-3 nm.
Lattice dynamical methods used to predict phase-transformations in crystals typically evaluate the harmonic phonon spectra and therefore do not work in frequent and important situations where the crystal structure is unstable in the harmonic approximation, such as the $beta$ structure when it appears as a high-temperature phase of the shape memory alloy (SMA) NiTi. Here it is shown by self consistent {it ab initio} lattice dynamical calculations (SCAILD) that the critical temperature for the pre-martensitic $R$ to $beta$ phase-transformation in NiTi can be effectively calculated with good accuracy, and that the $beta$-phase is a result primarily of the stabilizing interaction between different lattice vibrations.
We analyse the dynamical evolution of a fluid with non-linear drag, for which binary collisions are elastic, at the kinetic level of description. When quenched to low temperatures, the system displays a really complex behaviour. The glassy response of the system is controlled by a long-lived non-equilibrium state, and includes non-exponential, algebraic, relaxation and strong memory effects in the time evolution of its kinetic temperature. Moreover, the observed behaviour is universal, in the sense that the time evolution of the temperature -- for both relaxation and memory effects -- falls onto a master curve, regardless of the details of the experiment. Our theoretical predictions are checked against simulations of the kinetic equation, and an excellent agreement is found.
