摘要
The synthesis and comparison of the magnetic properties of iron sulfide spinel and iron oxide spinel nanocrystals are examined. The ZFC/FC plot of the Fe3S4 nanocrystals has an inflection centered at 50 K, indicating a transition to superparamagnetism above this temperature. The ZFC and FC plots do not coincide, indicating the retention of some degree of magnetic irreversibility, which may be due to a small amount of high coercivity Fe1-xS impurity. A slight decrease in the susceptibility of the FC curve below the blocking temperature indicates some degree of antiferromagnetic order. The ZFC/FC plot of the Fe3O4 nanocrystals displays a distinct transition at 100 K, with the ZFC and FC plots coinciding above this temperature, and no decrease in the susceptibility of the FC curve below the blocking temperature. The shape of the FC curves of the samples indicates a degree of interparticle interaction, which can lead to an increase of temperature, when compared to a noninteracting ensemble.
