Abstract
Iron-oxide nanoparticles were prepared by two ways of chemical methods when the coprecipitated nanomagnetites were functionalized by different (citric and mandelic) carboxylic acids. The colloid samples were characterized by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, electron microscopy, RAMAN spectroscopy and magnetization measurements. Considerable paramagnetic contributions are present in the 80 K Mössbauer spectra in both citric acid coated and mandelic acid coated nanomagnetites. The 5 K measurement revealed that the paramagnetic component appearing at 80 K can represent a superparamagnetic fraction due to the small particle size in the case of mandelic acid functionalized sample. However, in the case of citric acid functionalized nanomagnetite sample, the paramagnetic components occurring also in the 5 K spectra can be associated with components of precursors and of by-product phases.
