摘要
Nanoscale particles of the general formula MFe2O4 (M=Co, Mn, Fe) were synthesized in reverse micelles of twin-tailed anionic bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane. The size of the particles was controlled by adjusting the AOT/water molar ratio. Particle sizes were confirmed using XRD and uniformity was determined by SEM. Magnetic measurements, carried out using a SQUID Susceptometer, indicated superparamagnetic behavior. FC and ZFC demagnetization experiments indicate blocking temperatures of 46 K, 30 K, and 7 K for for MFe2O4 M=Co, Mn, Fe respectively. Below blocking temperatures, the nanoparticles demonstrate hysteresis with coercivities of H-c=6000G, 3800G, and 500G for the Co, Mn, and Fe ferrites.
