The impact on the magnetic field growth of half-metallic Fe3O4 thin films

Half-metallic Fe₃O₄ films grown on a Si (100) substrate with a tantalum (Ta) buffer layer were prepared by DC magnetron reactive sputtering. Primary emphasis was placed on magnetic field growth of Fe₃O₄ thin film. The experiment's results showed that applying an external magnetic field to the samples during the growth was efficient to promote the polycrystalline Fe₃O₄ growth along certain directions. The magnetoresistance (MR) was also tested for comparison of the samples prepared with and without an external magnetic field, and showed that applying an external magnetic field can promote the MR values.     

Development of Fe3O4-poly(l-lactide) magnetic microparticles in supercritical CO2

The Fe₃O₄-poly(l-lactide) (Fe₃O₄-PLLA) magnetic microparticles were successfully prepared in a process of solution-enhanced dispersion by supercritical CO₂ (SEDS), and their morphology, particle size, magnetic mass content, surface atom distribution and magnetic properties were characterized. Indomethacin (Indo) was used as a drug model to produce drug-polymer magnetic composite microparticles. The resulting Fe₃O₄-PLLA microparticles with mean size of 803 nm had good magnetic property and a saturation magnetization of 24.99 emu/g. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) test indicated that most of the Fe₃O₄ were encapsulated by PLLA, which indicated that the Fe₃O₄-PLLA magnetic microparticles had a core–shell structure. After further loading with drug, the Indo-Fe₃O₄-PLLA microparticles had a bigger mean size of 901 nm, and the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) analysis demonstrated that the SEDS process was a typical physical coating process to produce drug-polymer magnetic composite microparticles, which is favorable for drugs since there is no change in chemistry. The in vitro cytotoxicity test showed that the Fe₃O₄-PLLA magnetic microparticles had no cytotoxicity and were biocompatible, which means there is potential for biomedical application.

Self-assembly approach for the synthesis of electro-magnetic functionalized Fe3O4/polyaniline nanocomposites: Effect of dopant on the properties

Electro-magnetic functionalized Fe₃O₄/polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites were synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization in the presence of ammonium peroxydisulfate as an oxidizing agent. Polymerization was carried out independently using two different types of dopants, organic acids (camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (TSA)) and inorganic acid (hydrochloric acid). A plausible mechanism for the formation of the nanocomposites (NCs) is presented. During the formation of NCs, CSA/TSA also serves as a micellar template, whereas micelle formation is absent in the case of HCl. Fe₃O₄/PANI-CSA-NC, Fe₃O₄/PANI-TSA-NC and Fe₃O₄/PANI-HCl-NC were characterized for morphology, molecular structure, electrical conductivity and magnetic properties by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis) and superconductor quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements. The results indicate that dopant influence the properties of the NCs. TEM photographs of Fe₃O₄/PANI-CSA and Fe₃O₄/PANI-TSA reveal that the composite particles are spherical having a layer of PANI-CSA or PANI-TSA over Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. Fe₃O₄/PANI-CSA-NC and Fe₃O₄/PANI-TSA-NC have better morphology, conductivity and high magnetic saturation (M_s) than that of Fe₃O₄/PANI-HCl-NC. Under applied magnetic field, the NCs exhibit the hysteresis loops of the ferromagnetic behavior. M_s value varies with content of Fe₃O₄ present in the composites.

In this paper, monodisperse Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with single crystalline structure were synthesized via a facile environment-friendly method. And the size of the nanoparticles ranges from 10 nm to 15 nm. As-synthesized Fe₃O₄ were characterized by X-ray diffraction instrument (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer and field emission transmission electron microscope (FE-TEM). The effect of tartaric acid (TA) amount on products was investigated by XRD and TEM. The results indicated that TA could commendably modulate the crystalline phase, morphology and size of nanometer Fe₃O_4. A possible generated mechanism of Fe₃O₄ crystals was proposed in virtue of UV–vis absorption spectra. Besides, the magnetic properties of as-synthesized Fe₃O₄ were detected.

Structural and magnetic properties of the quaternary oxides Ba6Ln2Fe4O15 (Ln=Pr and Nd)

The crystal structures and magnetic properties of the quaternary lanthanide oxides Ba₆Ln₂Fe₄O₁₅ (Ln=Pr and Nd) are reported. They crystallize in a hexagonal structure with space group P6₃mc and have the “Fe₄O₁₅ cluster” consisting of one FeO₆ octahedron and three FeO₄ tetrahedra. Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and powder neutron diffraction reveal that this cluster behaves as a spin tetramer with a ferrimagnetic ground state of S_T=5 even at room temperature. The cluster moments show a long-range antiferromagnetic ordering at 23.2 K (Ln=Pr) and 17.8 K (Nd), and the magnetic moments of the Ln³⁺ ions also order cooperatively. By applying the magnetic field (∼2 T), this antiferromagnetic ordering of the clusters changes to a ferromagnetic one. This result indicates that there exists a competition in the magnetic interaction between the clusters.

A facile two-step modifying process for preparation of poly(SStNa)-grafted Fe3O4/SiO2 particles

This article reports the synthesis of the poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)-grafted Fe₃O₄/SiO₂ particles via two steps. The first step involved magnetite nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄) homogeneously incorporated into silica spheres using the modified Stöber method. Second, the modified silica-coated Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were covered with the outer shell of anionic polyelectrolyte by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. The resulted composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive microscopy (EDS), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and vibration sample magnetometer (VSM). The XRD results indicated that the surface modified Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles did not lead to phase change compared with the pure Fe₃O₄. TEM studies revealed nanoparticles remained monodisperse. The detection of sulfur and sodium signals was a convincing evidence that sodium 4-styrenesulfonate was grafted onto the surface of the magnetic silica in XPS analysis. Finally, super-paramagnetic properties of the composite particles, and the ease of modifying the surfaces may make the composites of important use in mild separation, enzyme immobilization, etc.
