包钴型γ-Fe2O3磁粉矫顽力的研究

包钴型γ-Fe₂O₃磁粉分为包钴γ-Fe₂O₃(简记为Co-γ-Fe₂O₃)和包钴包亚铁γ-Fe₂O₃(简记为CoFe-γ-Fe₂O₃)两种,它们的矫顽力可比γ-Fe₂O₃磁粉的提高100至400Oe左右,本工作对这两种磁粉矫顽力增大的原因作了探讨,认为它们矫顽力增大的机制不同:CO-γ-Fe₂O₃矫顽力增大是由于表面包覆一层Co(OH)₂使表面各向异性增大,而CoFe-γ-Fe₂O₃则是由于表面包覆的是钴铁氧体,γ-Fe₂O₃与钴铁氧体之间发生耦合作用,使矫顽力增大。     

Preparation of poly (styrene)-b-poly (acrylic acid)/γ-Fe2O3 composites

The use of a block copolymer, poly (styrene)-b-poly (acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) to prepare a magnetic nanocomposite was investigated. Poly (styrene)-poly (t-butyl acrylate) block copolymer, being synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization, was hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid for obtaining PS-b-PAA. The obtained PS-b-PAA was then compounded with the modified γ-Fe₂O₃, and subsequently the magnetic nanocomposite was achieved. The products were characterized by ¹H NMR, FTIR, gel permeation chromatography, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results showed that the nanocomposites exhibited soft magnetism, with the mean diameter of 100 nm approximately.

Relaxation structure analysis of Li inserted γ-Fe2O3

γ-Fe₂O₃ has a spinel structure with cation vacancy and is expected to perform as a favorable electrode material for secondary lithium-ion battery. When lithium is inserted electrochemically into γ-Fe₂O₃, prolonged potential change is observed after the insertion. In this study, we inserted various amount of Li into γ-Fe₂O₃ (x = 0.66, 1.1, 1.5 in terms of Li_XFe₂O₃), then made the circuit open, measured X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns at various elapsed time, and analyzed the crystal structure change of γ-Fe₂O₃ with time by the Rietveld method. The X-ray Rietveld analysis revealed that the iron occupancy of 8a site decreased and that of 16c site increased with lithium insertion process and after lithium insertion, the iron occupancy of 8a site increased and that of 16c site decreased gradually with relaxation time. It is indicated that lithium prefer 8a site to occupy kinetically, on the other hand, prefer 16c site thermodynamically.

Exchange bias behavior of monodisperse Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3 core/shell nanoparticles

We have carried out systematic studies on well-characterized monodisperse Fe₃O₄/γ-Fe₂O₃ core/shell nanoparticles of 2-30 nm having a very narrow size distribution and possessing a uniquely mono-layer of surface γ-Fe₂O₃. This unique core-shell structure, probably having a disordered magnetic surface state, leads us to three key observations of unusual magnetic properties: i) a very large magnetic exchange anisotropy reaching over 7 × 10⁶ erg/cm³ for the smaller particles, ii) exchange bias behavior in the magnetization data of the core/shell Fe₃O₄/γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles, and iii) the temperature dependence of the coercive field following an unusual exponential behavior.     

Interparticle interaction effects on magnetic behaviors of hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles

The interparticle magnetic interactions of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) nanoparticles were investigated by temperature and magnetic field dependent magnetization curves. The synthesis were done in two steps; milling metallic iron (Fe) powders in pure water (H₂O), known as mechanical milling technique, and annealing at 600 °C. The crystal and molecular structure of prepared samples were determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) spectra and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra results. The average particle sizes and the size distributions were figured out using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The magnetic behaviors of α-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles were analyzed with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). As a result of the analysis, it was observed that the prepared α-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles did not perform a sharp Morin transition (the characteristic transition of α-Fe₂O₃) due to lack of unique particle size distribution. However, the transition can be observed in the wide temperature range as “a continuously transition”. Additionally, the effect of interparticle interaction on magnetic behavior was determined from the magnetization versus applied field (σ(M)) curves for 26±2 nm particles, dispersed in sodium oxalate matrix under ratios of 200:1, 300:1, 500:1 and 1000:1. The interparticle interaction fields, recorded at 5 K to avoid the thermal interactions, were found as ∼1082 Oe for 26±2 nm particles.

Adsorption of methyl orange on mesoporous γ-Fe2O3/SiO2 nanocomposites

Mesoporous γ-Fe₂O₃/SiO₂ nanocomposite containing 30 mol% of γ-Fe₂O₃ was prepared by a template-free sol-gel method, and its removal ability for methyl orange (MO) was investigated. The nanocomposite was characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption measurements, nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, and magnetic measurements. The synthesized γ-Fe₂O₃/SiO₂ nanocomposite has a mesoporous structure with an average pore size of 3.5 nm and a specific surface area of 245 m²/g, and it exhibits ferrimagnetic characteristics with the maximum saturation magnetization of 20.9 emu/g. The adsorption of MO on the nanocomposite reaches the maximum adsorbed percentage of ca. 80% within a few minutes, showing that most of MO can be removed in a short time. The MO adsorption data fit well with both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The maximum adsorption capacity of MO is estimated to be 476 mg/g.

Thickness dependent activity of nanostructured TiO2/α-Fe2O3 photocatalyst thin films

The effect of thickness of TiO₂ coating on synergistic photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ (anatase)/α-Fe₂O₃/glass thin films as photocatalysts for degradation of Escherichia coli bacteria in a low-concentration H₂O₂ solution and under visible light irradiation was investigated. Nanograined α-Fe₂O₃ films with optical band-gap of 2.06 eV were fabricated by post-annealing of thermal evaporated iron oxide thin films at 400 °C in air. Increase in thickness of the Fe₂O₃ thin film (here, up to 200 nm) resulted in a slight reduction of the optical band-gap energy and an increase in the photoinactivation of the bacteria. Sol-gel TiO₂ coatings were deposited on the α-Fe₂O₃ (200 nm)/glass films, and then, they were annealed at 400 °C in air for crystallization of the TiO₂ and formation of TiO₂/Fe₂O₃ heterojunction. For the TiO₂ coatings with thicknesses ≤50 nm, the antibacterial activity of the TiO₂/α-Fe₂O₃ (200 nm) was found to be better than the activity of the bare α-Fe₂O₃ film. The optimum thickness of the TiO₂ coating was found to be 10 nm, resulting in about 70 and 250% improvement in visible light photo-induced antibacterial activity of the TiO₂/α-Fe₂O₃ thin film as compared to the corresponding activity of the bare α-Fe₂O₃ and TiO₂ thin films, respectively. The improvement in the photoinactivation of bacteria on surface of TiO₂/α-Fe₂O₃ was assigned to formation of Ti-O-Fe bond at the interface.     

Magnetic properties of nanosized γ-Fe2O3 and α-(Fe2/3Cr1/3)2O3, prepared by thermal decomposition of heterometallic single-molecular precursor

Thermal decomposition of the trinuclear complex [Fe₂CrO(CH₃COO)₆(H₂O)₃]NO₃ at 300, 400 and 500 °C gave γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles along with amorphous chromium oxide, while decomposition of the same starting compound at 600 and 700 °C led to the formation of α-(Fe_2/3Cr_1/3)₂O₃ nanoparticles. Size of γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles, determined by X-ray diffraction, was in the range from 9 to 11 nm and increased with formation temperature growth. Average size of α-(Fe_2/3Cr_1/3)₂O₃ nanoparticles was about 40 nm and almost did not depend on the temperature of its formation. γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles possessed superparamagnetic behavior with blocking temperature 180-250 K, saturation magnetization 29-35 emu/g at 5 K, 44-49 emu/g at 300 K and coercivity 400-600 Oe at 5 K. α-(Fe_2/3Cr_1/3)₂O₃ nanoparticles were characterized by low magnetization values (2.7 emu/g at 70 kOe). Such magnetic properties can be caused by non-compensated spins and defects present on the surface of these nanoparticles. The increase of α-(Fe_2/3Cr_1/3)₂O₃ formation temperature led to decrease of magnetization (being compared for the same fields), which may be caused by decrease of the quantity of defects or non-compensated spins (due to decrease of particles' surface).

Electrical property of nanocrystalline γ-Fe2O3 under high pressure

Using a microcircuit fabricated on a diamond anvil cell, in situ conductivity measurements on nanophase (NP) γ-Fe₂O₃ are obtained under high pressure. For NP γ-Fe₂O₃, the abrupt increase in electrical conductivity occurs at a pressure of 21.3 GPa, corresponding to a transition from maghemite to hematite. Above 26.4 GPa, conductivity increases smoothly with increasing pressure. No distinct abnormal change is observed during decompression, indicating that transformation is irreversible. The temperature-dependence of the conductivity of NP γ-Fe₂O₃ was investigated at several pressures, indicating the electrical conductivity of the sample increases with increasing pressure and temperature, and that a remarkable phenomenon of discontinuity occurs at 400 K. The abnormal change is attributed to the electronic phase transitions of NP γ-Fe₂O₃ due to the variation of inherent cation vacancies. Besides, the temperature-dependence of the electrical conductivity displays semiconductor-like behavior before 33.0 GPa.     

Shape- and field-dependent Morin transitions in structured α-Fe2O3

We report shape- and field-dependent magnetic properties of ellipsoid-, spindle-, flattened- and rhombohedra-shaped α-Fe₂O₃ samples prepared by solvothermal technique. We observed that a magnetic spin-flip mechanism, mostly known as Morin transition (T_M), depends on the shape of α-Fe₂O₃ as well as on the applied magnetic field. In each of these structures the obtained value of T_M was less than its bulk value of 263 K. We observed that T_M shifted from highest 251.4 K for ellipsoid to lowest 220.8 K for rhombohedra structure, with intermediate values of T_M for the other two structures. However, for rhombohedra structure T_M shifted from 220.8 to 177.5 K under the external magnetic field of 100 Oe-30 kOe, respectively. The observed lowering of T_M in the structured sample was analyzed in terms of elementary size, shape of the nanocrystallites, lattice parameters and occupancy of Fe⁺³ ions as well. These parameters were determined from the Rietveld refinement process using MAUD software.     

Temperature-dependent linear or nonlinear gas sensing characteristics of In2O3 mixed α-Fe2O3 nanorods with high sensitivity

Highly sensitive gas sensors are realized from In₂O₃ mixed α-Fe₂O₃ nanorods. At 200 °C, the sensitivity of the sensors upon exposure to 200 ppm ethanol is 31.3, and the sensors exhibit linear dependence of the sensitivity on the ethanol concentration at 100 °C and 200 °C. In contrast, nonlinear gas sensing characteristics are observed at 300 °C and 400 °C. The relationship between sensitivity and ethanol concentration is discussed by using the conduction model, and the experimental data are in good agreement with the obtained equations. Our results imply that In₂O₃ mixed α-Fe₂O₃ nanorods are good candidates for nano-scale gas sensors and the relationship between sensitivity and ethanol concentration is significantly influenced by temperatures.     

Solvothermal synthesis and characterization of α-Fe2O3 nanodiscs and Mn3O4 nanoparticles with 1,10-phenanthroline

α-Fe₂O₃ nanodiscs and Mn₃O₄ nanoparticles have been prepared by the 1,10-phenanthroline as complexing agent in the presence of sodium hydroxide under hydrothermal conditions. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. The average diameter of α-Fe₂O₃ nanodiscs is of 2 μm. In the case of Mn₃O₄ sample, the Mn₃O₄ crystallites are nanoparticles with an average size of 34 nm. A formation mechanism for the α-Fe₂O₃ and Mn₃O₄ nanomaterials was proposed.     

Vacancy ordering in γ-Fe2O3 nanocrystals observed by Fe NMR

The identification by ⁵⁷Fe internal field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of hyperfine fields at four Fe sites in the (average) tetragonal unit cell of vacancy-ordered γ-Fe₂O₃ (maghemite) is reported. The effects of vacancy redistribution due to annealing the partially vacancy-ordered form has been observed in the ⁵⁷Fe lineshape. In addition, the reduction of the particle size of the vacancy-ordered form has been observed to gradually eliminate the vacancy ordering and then to cause a transition from ferrimagnetism to superparamagnetism.     

Magnetic and microwave absorbing properties of polyaniline/γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposite

The conducting protonated polyaniline (ES)/γ-Fe₂O₃ nanocomposite with the different γ-Fe₂O₃ content were synthesized by in-situ polymerization. Its morphology, microstructure, DC conductivity and magnetic properties of samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), four-wire-technique, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The microwave absorbing properties of the nanocomposite powders dispersing in wax coating with the coating thickness of 2 mm were investigated using a vector network analyzers in the frequency range of 7–18 GHz. The pure ES has shown the absorption band with a maximum absorption at approximately 16 GHz and a width (defined as frequency difference between points where the absorption is more than 8 dB) of 3.24 GHz, when 10% γ-Fe₂O₃ by weight is incorporated , the width is broadened to 4.13 GHz and some other absorption bands appear in the range of 7–13 GHz. The parameter dielectric loss tan δ_e (=ε″/ε′) in the 7–18 GHz is found to decrease with increasing γ-Fe₂O₃ contents with 10%, 20%, 30%, respectively, but magnetic loss tan δ_m (=μ″/μ′) increases with increasing γ-Fe₂O₃ contents. The results show that moderate content of γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles embedded in protonated polyaniline matrix may create advanced microwave absorption properties due to simultaneous adjusting of dielectric loss and magnetic loss.
