AbstractSiO2 thin films containing fine Fe particles were prepared by a co-sputtering method. α-Fe particles were then formed by heat-treating the film at 650°C to 700°C. The average size of the particles was controlled by changing heat-treatment time and temperature. The magnetic properties of these samples were investigated and discussed in terms of the size of the particles. It was found that the coercivity of the sample containing α-Fe particles (average particle size = 24nm) is as large as 36 Oe which is much higher than that of the bulk Fe.

Abstract Thin films of Cd were prepared by vacuum deposition onto glass plates at temperature of 45 °C and pressure of about 10-6 torr. Several good quality films of various thicknesses (15,000 ~ 28,000 Å) were made. The films were characterized by strong preferred orientation along the 002 planes parallel to the surface of the substrate, which were found to be thickness dependent. In particular, the 002, 100 and 004 peaks were many times stronger than their corresponding diffraction peaks obtained from powder specimens. Both the real and imaginary parts of the Fourier coefficients were considered for line broadening analysis. The particle size (which is also called the average size of the coherently diffracting domains in a direction perpendicular to the diffracting planes), microstrain (which is usually called the mean strain in a given direction) and faulting were determined. A systematic study for all the diffraction peaks indicates an increase of average particle size D̅ from 546 to 620 Å in the above thickness range with no apparent anisotropy for the 100, 002 and 004 directions. The microstrain, however, decreased as much as 50% in this thickness range and showed a considerable amount of anisotropy. The fault parameters α (deformation fault probability) and β (growth fault probability) decreased rather rapidly for all directions

AbstractIn this work, the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles by two variant chemical coprecipitation methods that involve reflux and aging conditions was investigated. The influence of the synthesis conditions on particle size, morphology, magnetic properties and protein adsorption were studied. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticles showed a spherical shape with an average particle size directly influenced by the synthesis technique. Particles of average size 27 nm and 200 nm were obtained. When the coprecipitation method was used without reflux and aging, the smallest particles were obtained. Magnetite nanoparticles obtained from both methods exhibited a superparamagnetic behavior and their saturation magnetization was particle size dependent. Values of 67 and 78 emu g−1 were obtained for the 27 nm and 200 nm magnetite particles, respectively. The nanoparticles were coated with silica, aminosilane, and silica-aminosilane shell. The influence of the coating on protein absorption was studied using Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein.

Microstructure And Magnetic Properties

In cast Sm2Fe17 ingots minor fractions of SmFe2 and SmFe3 may occur. Nitrogenation of such alloy-powders inidicates that only Sm2Fe17 forms an interstitial solid solution whereas SmFe2 and SmFe3 decompose directly into SmN and α-Fe. From Sm2Fe17Nx alloy powders with an average particle size of about 3 μm anisotropic magnets were prepared by adding 15 wt% Zn-powder. Annealing at 390 ºC results in intrinsic coercivities > 15 kOe promoted by the formation of an unknown binary Fe8Zn92-compound. Whereas annealing at temperatures > 420 ºC leads to the formation of binary Fe3Zn7 and ternary Sm2FeZn2. By the formation of Sm2FeZn2 from Sm2Fe17Nx+Zn some α-Fe occurs inducing a step in the demagnetization curve J(H).

Nanoparticles of Cr2O3 were successfully obtained via hydrothermal reduction of CH3OH. The oxidant and chromium source was CrO3. The process needs no stirrer or surfactant and the CrO3 concentration was 0.83mol/L. The obtained products were loosely agglomerated Cr2O3 nanoparticles with the average size of 29 to 79 nm. Influences of reactant ratios and calcination temperatures on the specific surface area and average particle size were discussed. And the morphology of nanoparticles was investigated by use of field-emission scanning electron microscope.

Nano-sized BaTiO3 powders with narrow size distribution and the high tetragonality were attempted to synthesize by the rotary-hydrothermal process in water system, using two kinds of commercial anatase-type TiO2 (ST21/ST01) with different particle size and Ba(OH)2. The rotary-hydrothermal syntheses were done with the rotary-speed of 20 revolutions per minute at 523 K for 24 h. Highly- and mono-dispersed BaTiO3 powders were successfully synthesized by applying the rotary-hydrothermal process. For rotary-hydrothermal synthesis, it was found that the average size, tetragonality, and quality of the BaTiO3 particle strongly depended on the particle size of the starting material. In the case of using ST01 as a starting material, BaTiO3 nano-powders mainly composed of coarse-faceted particles (average particle size = ca.100 nm) with the tetragonal phase and very little lattice defects were successfully synthesized.

AbstractThrough the present study, an eco-friendly method was used to synthesize the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) by using the sodium citrate and extract of the soybean seed as reducing the agents at PH 3. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) method was used to evaluate the crystal structure of as-synthesized NPs and it’s revealed that this method leads to well crystallized GNPs. In order to determine the particle size and their distribution, field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used. The results showed that, the average particle size distribution of synthesized GNPs in solutions containing of the soybean extract and 1% citrate at PH 3 is about 109.6 and 140.9 nm, respectively. Also, we find that the average size of GNPs is 40 and 33 nm from solutions of citrate and soybean extract, respectively. It was concluded that using the extract of soybean seeds as reducing agent can lead to GNPs with small size and narrow size distribution.

In this study, submicrometer grain-sized metal matrix composites (MMCs) based on nickel were elaborated via a bottom-up strategy combining the polyol process and a non-conventional heat treatment route. First, four sets of nano-sized Ni–P metastable alloy nanopowders with an average particle size centered at 50, 100, 130, and 220 nm were prepared by the polyol process modified by the addition of hypophosphite (strong reducing agent) and heterogeneous nucleation using silver nitrate and platinum salt (nucleating agents). The heat treatment step was realized by reactive spark plasma sintering (R-SPS) at identical heat treatment conditions (600 °C, 53 MPa, and 10 min as holding time). R-SPS transformed the Ni–P metastable alloys into bulk submicrometer grain-sized MMCs with Ni as the matrix and Ni3P as the reinforcement. Mechanical and magnetic properties of the four MMC samples were found to be closely related to the grain size of the Ni matrix, which varied from 247 to 638 nm. Yield stress, maximum stress, and coercive field increased when the grain size decreased, while plastic strain and magnetization saturation decreased. The reinforcement Ni3P phase enhanced the mechanical characteristics of the composite. Crossover behavior was observed at around 350 nm Ni grain size, where a ductile and soft magnetic composite was tuned into a hard mechanical and semi-hard magnetic one.

A method for the synthesis of nanoparticles of the Cu-Fe bimetallic system with limited mutual solubility of the components is proposed. The synthesis method consists of a one-stage process of IR pyrolysis of precursors in the form of films obtained from a joint solution of polyacrylonitrile and hydrates-nitrates of iron and copper. The effect of the synthesis temperature on the structure formation of the nanocomposites and the phase composition of bimetallic Cu-Fe nanoparticles dispersed in the carbon matrix was studied. The analysis showed a simultaneous presence of Fe and Cu phases in nanocomposites, presumably with a low solubility of the components. The average particle size is 14-17 nm and changes insignificantly with an increase in the synthesis temperature from 400 to 700°C. An increase in the synthesis temperature to 800°C led to a broadening of the particle size distribution and the increase in the average size. The formation of complex carbon nanostructures on Cu-Fe nanoparticles is found.

Zn-doped SnO2 nanoparticles have been synthesized by the chemical precipitation method with the Zn contents ([Formula: see text]) of 1, 2 and 4 wt.%. The nanoparticles are crystalline in all cases, with the average particle size decreasing from 13.4 nm to 7.71 nm as the Zn concentration increases. The visible photoluminescence emission is observed in Zn-doped SnO2 nanoparticles, with larger emission intensity at elevated Zn content. The dielectric constant has a strong doping dependence, which is evidently enhanced with increasing Zn content. Magnetization measurements reveal the enhancement in saturation magnetization and remanence magnetization, while the reduction in coercive field is observed with increasing amount of Zn dopant. The variation of optical, dielectric and magnetic properties is due to the incorporation of Zn in SnO2 with smaller particle size and higher defect density. The present study clearly reveals the doping-induced ferromagnetism in Zn-doped SnO2 nanoparticles, having applications in ultrahigh dielectric materials, high frequency devices and spintronics.

La-, Nd- and La/Nd-based polysubstituted high-entropy oxides (HEOs) were produced by solid-state reactions. Composition of the B-site was fixed for all samples (Cr0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2) with varying of A-site cation (La, Nd and La0.5Nd0.5). Nominal chemical composition of the HEOs correlates well with initial calculated stoichiometry. All produced samples are single phase with perovskite-like structure. Average particle size is critically dependent on chemical composition. Minimal average particle size (~400 nm) was observed for the La-based sample and maximal average particle size (5.8 μm) was observed for the Nd-based sample. The values of the configurational entropy of mixing for each sample were calculated. Electrical properties were investigated in the wide range of temperatures (150–450 K) and frequencies (10−1–107 Hz). Results are discussed in terms of the variable range hopping and the small polaron hopping mechanisms. Magnetic properties were analyzed from the temperature and field dependences of the specific magnetization. The frustrated state of the spin subsystem was observed, and it can be a result of the increasing entropy state. From the Zero-Field-Cooling and Field-Cooling regimes (ZFC-FC) curves, we determine the <S> average and Smax maximum size of a ferromagnetic nanocluster in a paramagnetic matrix. The <S> average size of a ferromagnetic cluster is ~100 nm (La-CMFCNO) and ~60 nm (LN-CMFCNO). The Smax maximum size is ~210 nm (La-CMFCNO) and ~205 nm (LN-CMFCNO). For Nd-CMFCNO, spin glass state (ferromagnetic cluster lower than 30 nm) was observed due to f-d exchange at low temperatures.
