Magnetic coupling induced increase in the blocking temperature of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles

Magnetic coupling induced increase in the blocking temperature of g-Fe2O3 nanoparticles

In this article, we report the magnetic properties of surfactant coated g-Fe2O3 nanoparticles which are pressed under different pressures. With increasing pressure, the sample volume decreases, density increases, and a 55% density change has been achieved. The blocking temperature is increased from 50 to 80 K. Analyzing the data of blocking temperature versus densities, which exhibits linear re...

Magnetic coupling induced increase in the blocking temperature of Î3- Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles

Synthesis and characterization of magnetic γ- Fe2O3 nanoparticles: Thermal cooling enhancement in a sinusoidal headbox

Nano-size maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) particles were prepared in one step using ultrasound radiation. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized by SEM, TEM , XRD, FTIR, and VSM. The results revealed that the synthesized nanoparticles were spherical, mono-dispersed and uniform. Furthermore, the crystalline structure of nanoparticles endorsed by X-ray diffraction study. The FTIR spectra have provided...

Direct amine-functionalisation of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles.

A novel and simple preparation of amine-modified γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles is described. The presence of amine groups on the surface, instead of hydroxyl groups, will allow conjugation of biologically active molecules to the iron oxide nanoparticles without the need for a size increasing silica shell. Furthermore, the outer amine-layer increases the temperature of the γ-Fe2O3 to α-Fe2O3 structural ...

Continuous chemical operations and modifications on magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles confined in nanoliter droplets for the assembly of fluorescent and magnetic SiO2@γ-Fe2O3.

We present a microfluidic platform that allows undergoing different chemical operations in a nanoliter droplet starting from the colloidal suspension of magnetic iron oxide (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles "NPs" (ferrofluid). These operations include: mixing, flocculation, magnetic decantation, colloidal redispersion, washing, surface functionalization, heating and colloidal assembly. To prove the platf...
