Solvothermal Preparation and Magnetic Properties of Monodisperse Superparamagnetic Nanosized Ferrites MFe2O4 (M = Mn, Co, Ni)

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Monodisperse spherical nanoparticles of MIIFe III2 O4 (M = Mn, Co, Ni) with controlled diameter (5-20 nm) were synthesized by solvothermal decomposition of [MIIFe III2 O(CH3CO2)6(H2O)3] complexes in poly- and tetraethylene glycol. The samples were studied by XRD, TEM, and SQUID magnetometry. The nanoparticles have superparamagnetic behavior. The blocking temperature, magnetization, and magnetic anisotropy barrier decrease, while the magnetic anisotropy constant increases with decreasing particle size.
