摘要
To understand the importance of the band gap to the magnetic ordering in magnetic semiconductors, we have studied the effect of particle size on the ferromagnetic Curie temperature in semiconducting EuS. We have synthesized capped similar to 20 nm EuS nanoparticles using a single-source precursor, [Eu((S2CNBu2)-Bu-i)(3)Phen] decomposed in trioctylphosphine. The nanoparticles have been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, TEM, and magnetic susceptibility measurements as a function of temperature and field. The Curie temperature, based on Arrott plots, is depressed by 1-2 K from the bulk value.
