Effect of the production conditions on the size and magnetic characteristics of iron sulfide Fe3S4 nanoparticles

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

It was shown that the reaction of the trinuclear complex [FeFe2O(CH3CO2)6(H2O)32H2O with thiourea in tetraethylene glycol leads to the formation of nanoparticles of thiospinel Fe3S4, the size of which depends on the reaction conditions. It was established that the formed thiospinel particles exhibit superparamagnetic characteristics. It was shown that the size of the nanoparticles has an effect on their magnetic characteristics.
