Magnetic nanocomposites composed of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles in a pectin matrix were synthesized by an in situ coprecipitation method. The pectin matrix acted as a stabilizer and size control host for the magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) ensuring particle size homogeneity. The effects of the different reactant ratios and nanocomposite drying conditions on the magnetic properties were investigated. The nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer (SQUID). Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles with mean diameters of 9 and 13 nm were obtained, and the freeze-dried nanocomposites had a saturation magnetization of 54 and 53 emu/g, respectively.

New functional nanocomposite FePt:C thin films with FePt underlayers were synthesized by noneptaxial growth. The effect of the FePt layer on the ordering, orientation and magnetic properties of the composite layer has been investigated by adjusting FePt underlayer thickness from 2 nm to 14 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), together with x-ray diffraction (XRD), has been used to check the growth of the double-layered films and to study the microstructure, including the grain size, shape, orientation and distribution. XRD scans reveal that the orientation of the films was dependent on FePt underlayer thickness. In this paper, the TEM studies of both single-layered nonepitaxially grown FePt and FePt:C composite L10 phase and double-layered deposition FePt:C/FePt are presented.

Melt spun ribbons of Co 64 Fe 4 Ni 2 B 19 Si 8 Cr 3 alloy have been prepared and the nanocrystallization process was carried out by the heat treatment of the as spun ribbons above the crystallization temperature. Structural studies of the samples have been performed by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Magnetic properties of the samples and magnetoimpedance measurements were investigated and it was revealed that magnetic properties and magnetoimpedance of the samples deteriorate by the formation of nanocrystalline phases.

Nonepitaxially grown FePt (x)/FePt:C thin films were synthesized, where FePt (x) (x=2, 5, 8, 11, 14 nm) layers were served as underlayers and FePt:C layer was nanocomposite with thickness of 5 nm. The effect of FePt underlayer on the ordering, orientation and magnetic properties of FePt:C thin films has been investigated by adjusting FePt underlayer thicknesses from 2 nm to 14 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD), together with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that the desired L10 phase was formed and films were (001) textured with FePt underlayer thickness decreased less 5 nm. For 5 nm FePt:C nanocomposite thin film with 2 nm FePt underlayer, the coercivity was 8.2 KOe and the correlation length of FePt:C nanocomposite film was 67 nm. These results reveal that the better orientation and magnetic properties for FePt:C nanocomposite films can be tuned by decreasing FePt underlayer thickness.

Nonepitaxially grown double-layered films were synthesized with a FePt: C composite layer on top of continuous FePt underlayer. The thickness of FePt was changed from 2 nm to 14 nm. Nanostructures, crystalline orientations and the effect of FePt underlayer on the ordering, orientation and magnetic properties of the thin films were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD confirmed the formation of the ordered L10phase for 5 nm FePt: C film with FePt thickness decreased to 5 nm. TEM studies of FePt:C composite L10phase and double-layered deposition FePt:C/FePt were presented.

AbstractHierarchical nickel microwires with nanothorns were fabricated through a reduction of nickelous salt with hydrazine in diethanolamine. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The growth mechanism of the nickel microwires with nanothorns is proposed, based on the evolution of the structures and morphologies, which could be ascribed to the cooperative effect of the complexant of diethanolamine and inherent magnetic interactions. Magnetic properties of the product were measured at room temperature and compared with other shaped counterparts.

Results on the correlation of structure and magnetic properties in ARMCO steels after mechanical treatment are reported in this paper. Samples have undergone plastic deformation by means of cold rolling and tensile stress in their as-bought state and after stress-relief process. Minor magnetic hysteresis measurements in 1 Hz have been performed in the as-bought, annealed and plastically deformed samples. X-ray diffraction, optical metallography and transmission electron microscopy have been employed to determine the microstructure of the samples. A clear decreasing monotonic dependence of the maximum differential permeability on applied stress and dislocation density has been observed.

Fe-Co-N thin films with various Co content were synthesized on Si (111) substrate using facing-target magnetron sputtering by changing sputtering input power on Co target. During deposition, the input power on Fe target was kept at 160 W. The composition, structure, and magnetic properties were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and superconducting quantum interference device. XRD and TEM investigations showed that at lower input power of 11.2 W on Co target, the phases in the film were -(Fe,Co)4N and Co3N. Increasing sputtering input power, the content of Co in the film increased. At input power of 14 W, film contained -(Fe,Co)8N phase was produced which exhibited higher saturation magnetization (252.85 Am2/kg) and lower value of coercivity (3.66 kAm-1), corresponded to the 12% content of Co in the film.

In this study, the effects of heat treatment temperatures on structural and magnetic properties in MnFe2O4(MF)/SiO2-Na2O-CaO-P2O5 (bioglass) bioactive glass ceramics were investigated. The MF/SiO2-Na2O-CaO-P2O5 bioactive glass ceramics were fabricated under various heat treatment temperatures in a range of 600-1000 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to characterize phase and microstructure. The magnetic properties were determined from Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The X-ray diffraction peaks presented two major crystalline phases: MnFe2O4 and Na2Ca2Si3O9. It was found that the heat treatment temperatures are the most influential parameter on microstructure and magnetic properties of the bioactive glass ceramics. The highest magnetic properties of studied ceramics were found in the sample heated at 1000 °C with adding 20 wt%. MF. The microstructural properties of the studies samples were investigated and the results were then correlated with the characteristics of heat treatment temperatures as well as the microstructure of the bioactive glass ceramic.

Abstract Multifunctional Fe3O4/Eu(DBM)3phen/PVP ((DBM: dibenzoylmethane, phen: 1,10-phenanthroline, PVP: polyvinyl pyrrolidone) microfibers were constructed by simple electrospinning process. The structure and morphology of the microfibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. The diameters of pure PVP microfibers and the microfibers doped only with Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were uniformly distributed, with an average size of about 360 nm. When 3% Eu(DBM)3phen complex and Fe3O4 NPs were both added to the precursor for electrospinning, the microfibers became very inhomogeneous in diameter. The photoluminescent properties of pure Eu(DBM)3phen complex and composite microfibers were also studied. The characteristic emission peaks of Eu3+ appeared in the composite microfibers. The intensities of emission and excitation spectra gradually decrease with adding more Fe3O4 NPs. The unit mass of the pure europium complex in some composite microfibers gave stronger luminescence than the pure europium complex. The fluorescence lifetime of 5D0 state in the composite microfibers is longer than that of pure europium complex. Additionally, the magnetic properties of Fe3O4 NPs and the composite microfibers were investigated. Fe3O4 NPs and composite microfibers were both superparamagnetic. The saturation magnetization of the composite microfibers was smaller than that of pure Fe3O4 NPs.

A novel biocompatible Fe2+-chitosan (CTS)/citric acid modified carbon nanotube (CA-CNTs) composite (Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs) has been successfully synthesized by covalent bonding and crosslinking chemistry, followed by the reduction. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The results show that the CTS has been successfully grafted to the CA-CNTs carrier and Fe2+ ions are absorbed on the CTS by coordination bond mode. It was found that the Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs composite shows good magnetic properties with a low ratio of remanence to saturation magnetization and is in a superparamagnetic state at room temperature. It is believed that the Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs composite will be potential for application in MRI.
