Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier policy on Article Correction, Retraction and Removal ( https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies-and-standards/article-withdrawal ). This article is retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. The Fig. 2 XRD results show unphysical equivalences between two samples, g-Fe2O3 and Mn-g-Fe2O3. The responses by authors did not take away the raised concerns. Therefore, the EiC no longer has confidence in the authenticity of the work. In accordance with the journal’s publishing policy, this article is retracted.
