The Fe-doped NiO nanoparticles that were synthesized using a co-precipitation method are characterized by enhanced room-temperature ferromagnetic property evident from magnetic measurements. Neutron powder diffraction experiments suggested an increment of the magnetic moment of 3d ions in the nanoparticles as a function of Fe-concentration. The temperature, time, and field-dependent magnetization measurements show that the effect of Fe-doping in NiO has enhanced the intraparticle interactions due to formed defect clusters. The intraparticle interactions are proposed to bring additional magnetic anisotropy energy barriers that affect the overall magnetic moment relaxation process and emerging as room temperature magnetic memory. The outcome of this study is attractive for the future development of the room temperature ferromagnetic oxide system to facilitate the integration of spintronic devices and understanding of their fundamental physics.

Nanocrystalline NiFe2O4 particles prepared by chemical co-precipitation method were studied using magnetic measurements, 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. Fits to Mössbauer spectra, in the range of 4.2 K – 300 K, were done using spin hamiltonians to describe both the electronic and nuclear interactions, a model of superparamagnetic relaxation of two levels (spin ½) and stochastic theory, a log-normal particle size distribution function as well as a dependency of the magnetic transition temperature and the anisotropy constant on particle diameter. We have used evolutionary strategies to fit the more complex Mössbauer spectra line shapes. The nanoparticles have an average size of 7 nm and exhibit superparamagnetism at room temperature. The saturation magnetization (Ms) at 4.2 K was determined from M vs. 1/H plots by extrapolating the value of magnetizations to infinite fields, to 24.21 emu/g and coercivity to 3.15 kOe. A magnetic anisotropy energy constant (K) 1.9´105 J/m3, at 4.2 K, were calculated from magnetization measurements. The synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles is a highly active area of current research located at the interface between materials science, biotechnology, and medicine. Superparamagnetic iron oxides nanoparticles have unique physical properties and have emerged as a new class of diagnostic probes for multimodal tracking and as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

In this paper, we report on structural and magnetic properties of NiZn ferrite powders prepared by chemical co-precipitation method and calcined at different temperatures. Structural, topological and compositional analyses were performed by XRD, SEM, AFM and EDX techniques. The cation distributions in Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 ferrites were investigated by XPS (Al K radiation: h=1486.6 eV). Particle sizes were measured using AFM techniques and results were compared with BET technique and magnetic measurements were carried out using a vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature.

Abstract: Pure nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles and NiO-Mn2O3, NiO-CdO, NiO-Pb2O3, NiO –ZnO nanocomposites were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The PXRD studies revealed that NiO, Mn2O3 and CdO possessed cubic structure, Pb2O3 possessed monoclinic structure, ZnO possessed hexagonal structure and confirmed the presence of polycrystallinity nature of NiO and Mn2O3, CdO, Pb2O3, ZnO in the nanocomposites. The average grain size of NiO nanoparticles was found to be 30.10 nm using Debye Scherer’s formula. The FESEM images of NiO nanoparticles and their nanocomposites revealed spherical shaped structure and NiO-Pb2O3 revealed needle shaped rod-like structure. EDAX analysis confirmed the composition of NiO nanoparticles and their nanocomposites. Raman spectra exhibited characteristic peaks of pure NiO and that of NiO- Mn2O3, NiO-CdO, NiO- Pb2O3, NiO-ZnO in the synthesized nanocomposites. In the PL spectra, blue and green emission was observed in the samples. UV-vis spectra revealed the absorption peaks of NiO nanoparticles and their nanocomposites. Thus, the synthesized NiO- Mn2O3, NiO-CdO, NiO - Pb2O3 and NiO-ZnO nanocomposites can be a suitable material for electrocatalysis applications. Keywords: Nickel oxide nanocomposites, Structure, Morphology, Absorption, Luminescence.

Using hydrated manganese sulfate and general type graphene (GR) as raw materials, Mn3O4/GR composite has been successfully prepared by the liquid phase chemical co-precipitation method at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to investigate the phase structure of Mn3O4powder and Mn3O4/GR composite; The electrochemical performances of the samples were elucidated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge test in 0.5 mol/L Na2SO4electrolyte. The results show that the Mn3O4/GR composite possesses graphene phase and good reversibility; the composite also displays a specific capacitance of 318.8 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g.

Co0.76Cu0.74[Fe(CN)6]·7.5H2O was prepared as a powder by a chemical co-precipitation method. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns were indexed to the typical face-centred cubic structure with the lattice parameter a 10.55(2) Å. The temperature dependence of the χ−1 curve obeys the Curie–Weiss law (χ = C/(T – θ)) in the temperature range of 180–300 K. According to Curie–Weiss law, the calculated θ value is −54.82 K. In the paramagnetic state at 300 K, the effective magnetic moment (μeff = (8χT)1/2) is 3.58 μB per formula unit. The calculated theoretical effective magnetic moment is 4.06 μB. The magnetic field cooling measurements under a 200 Oe applied magnetic field show that the saturation magnetization value at 2 K of the complex Co0.76Cu0.74[Fe(CN)6]·7.5H2O is 1.528 emu g−1.
