The Chief Editor of Bulletin of Materials Science has retracted this Article due to significant overlap with a number of other articles which were previously published [1] or under consideration at the same time [2,3,4,5,6,7,8] without proper cross-referencing. An independent expert confirmed the similarities between the articles.

Ali Nazari has not responded to correspondence from the Chief Editor about this retraction.
