Size-dependent magnetic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles prepared in polyol

Highly crystalline CoFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles with different diameters ranging from 2.4 to 6.1 nm have been synthesized by forced hydrolysis in polyol. The size can be controlled through adjusting the nominal water/metal molar ratio. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray absorption spectroscopy and (57)Fe M?ssbauer spectrometry were employed to investigate the structure and the microstructure of the particles produced. Magnetic measurements performed on these particles show that they are superparamagnetic with a size-dependent blocking temperature. At 5 K, high saturation magnetization (~85 emu g(-1)) approaching that of the bulk was found for the larger particles, whereas a very large coercivity (14.5 kOe) is observed for the 3.5 nm sized particles.

Preparation and photocatalytic properties of magnetically reusable Fe3O4@ZnO core/shell nanoparticles

Fe₃O₄@ZnO binary nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple two-step chemical method and characterized using various analytical instruments. TEM result proved the binary nanoparticles have core/shell structures and average particle size is 60 nm. Photocatalytic investigation of Fe₃O₄@ZnO core/shell nanoparticles was carried out using rhodamine B (RhB) solution under UV light. Fe₃O₄@ZnO core/shell nanoparticles showed enhanced photocatalytic performance in comparison with the as prepared ZnO nanoparticles. The enhanced photocatalytic activity for Fe₃O₄@ZnO might be resulting from the higher concentration of surface oxygen vacancies and the suppressing effect of the Fe³⁺ ions on the recombination of photoinduced electron–hole pairs. Magnetization saturation value (5.96 emu/g) of Fe₃O₄@ZnO core/shell nanoparticles is high enough to be magnetically removed by applying a magnetic field. The core/shell photocatalyst can be easily separated by using a commercial magnet and almost no decrease in photocatalytic efficiency was observed even after recycling six times.

Laser synthesis and magnetic properties of monodispersed core–shell nanoparticles

This paper presents a method for fabricating size-selected nickel nanoparticles coated with oxide shells (shell thickness of about 2 nm). The size of the generated particles was controlled by a low-pressure differential mobility analyzer. The total mass of the deposited particles was estimated on the basis of their measured electric current. A high-resolution transmission electron microscope was used to observe the morphologies of the particles. We successfully synthesized a series of monodispersed (geometric standard deviation <1.2) core–shell particles with oxidized surface layers of 2 nm and analyzed their magnetic properties.

Cationic distribution and spin canting in CoFe2O4 nanoparticles

CoFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles (D(NPD) ~6 nm), prepared by a thermal decomposition technique, have been investigated through the combined use of dc magnetization measurements, neutron diffraction, and (57)Fe M?ssbauer spectrometry under high applied magnetic field. Despite the small particle size, the value of saturation magnetization at 300 K (M(s) ?= 70 A m(2) kg(-1)) and at 5 K (M(s) ?= 100 A m(2) kg(-1)) are rather close to the bulk values, making the samples prepared with this method attractive for biomedical applications. Neutron diffraction measurements indicate the typical ferrimagnetic structure of the ferrites, showing an inversion degree (γ(NPD) = 0.74) that is in very good agreement with cationic distribution established from low temperature (10 K) M?ssbauer measurements in high magnetic field (γ(moss) = 0.76). In addition, the in-field M?ssbauer spectrum shows the presence of a non-collinear spin structure in both A and B sublattices. The results allow us to explain the high value of saturation magnetization and provide a better insight into the complex interplay between cationic distribution and magnetic disorder in ferrimagnetic nanoparticles.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of carbon-coated Ni/SiO_2 core/shell nanocomposites

A simple method for the synthesis of carbon-coated Ni/SiO2 core/shell nanocomposites is reported. The Ni nanoparticles were coated with silica layers via a combined procedure of sol-gel fabrication and hydrogen reduction prior to carbon coating via acetylene decomposition at an appropriate temperature. It was found that the anti-acid ability of the Ni/SiO2 composites was greatly enhanced after carbon coating. The results of magnetization measurement show that the real part (μ′) of complex permeability of the as-obtained sample is almost independent of frequency, and the imaginary part (μ″) stays small up to a frequency of 1 GHz. The encapsulation of Ni particles with SiO2 results in the rise of Ni nanoparticles resistivity. The outcome is the reduction in effect of eddy current at high frequency, making the real part μ′ almost constant and the imaginary part μ″ very small. Thus, this simple method may be effective for preparing composites of soft magnetic properties, especially in the high-frequency range.

Dependence of structural and magnetic properties of CoFe2O4/SiO2 nanocomposites on annealing temperature and component ratio

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄) nanoparticles embedded in amorphous silica can be synthesized by using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and metallic nitrates as precursors. A well-established silica matrix network provides nucleation locations for CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles, thus confining their growth and aggregation. The structural and magnetic properties show strong dependence on the variation of particle size caused by annealing temperature and CoFe₂O₄ ratio, resulting in higher crystallization, saturation magnetization M_s and remanent magnetization M_r as the annealing temperature and CoFe₂O₄ ratio increase. But the variation of coercivity H_c is not in accordance with that of M_s and M_r, indicating that H_c is not determined by the size of CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles only. The realization of the adjustable particle sizes and the controllable magnetic properties makes the applicability of CoFe₂O₄ even more versatile.     

A study of the properties of core/shell/shell Ag/FeCo/Ag nanoparticles

The properties of heterophase core/shell/shell Ag/FeCo/Ag nanoparticles synthesized via a plasma method that are promising for biological applications are studied. As is established, the core/shell/shell Ag/FeCo/Ag nanoparticles exhibit a superparamagnetic state at room temperature that allows one to manage the hyperthermia process. The magnetic characteristics of core/shell/shell Ag/FeCo/Ag nanoparticles are interpreted by assuming partial oxidation of the surface layer of a ferromagnetic FeCo shell and formation of the antiferromagnetic Co_xFe_1–xО layer on the FeCo surface. The interaction between the surface antiferromagnetic Co_xFe_1–xО layer and the ferromagnetic FeCо shell causes the emergence of the exchange bias in Ag/FeCo/Ag nanoparticles.     

Engineered inorganic core/shell nanoparticles

It has been for a long time recognized that nanoparticles are of great scientific interest as they are effectively a bridge between bulk materials and atomic structures. At first, size effects occurring in single elements have been studied. More recently, progress in chemical and physical synthesis routes permitted the preparation of more complex structures. Such structures take advantages of new adjustable parameters including stoichiometry, chemical ordering, shape and segregation opening new fields with tailored materials for biology, mechanics, optics magnetism, chemistry catalysis, solar cells and microelectronics. Among them, core/shell structures are a particular class of nanoparticles made with an inorganic core and one or several inorganic shell layer(s). In earlier work, the shell was merely used as a protective coating for the core. More recently, it has been shown that it is possible to tune the physical properties in a larger range than that of each material taken separately. The goal of the present review is to discuss the basic properties of the different types of core/shell nanoparticles including a large variety of heterostructures. We restrict ourselves on all inorganic (on inorganic/inorganic) core/shell structures. In the light of recent developments, the applications of inorganic core/shell particles are found in many fields including biology, chemistry, physics and engineering. In addition to a representative overview of the properties, general concepts based on solid state physics are considered for material selection and for identifying criteria linking the core/shell structure and its resulting properties. Chemical and physical routes for the synthesis and specific methods for the study of core/shell nanoparticle are briefly discussed.     

The study of transition on NiFe2O4 nanoparticles prepared by co-precipitation/calcination

In this study, the NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticles have been prepared by co-precipitation and calcination process. Using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometer of X-ray (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the samples obtained by co-precipitation and then by further calcination have been analyzed. The experimental results show that the precursor synthesized by co-precipitation is the composite of both amorphous FeOOH and Ni(OH)₂, but has no amorphous NiFe₂O₄. The results of both EDX and XPS revealed that the FeOOH species is wrapped up by Ni(OH)₂ species. In the calcination process, the amorphous composite is dehydrated and transformed gradually into crystalline NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticles, with the metal ions diffusing. The reaction is different from the one used to prepare other ferrite (e.g., CoFe₂O₄, MnFe₂O₄, Fe₃O₄, etc.) nanoparticles directly by co-precipitation. With increasing calcination temperature, the NiFe₂O₄ grains grow and the magnetization is enhanced.
