Magnetite to Maghemite Transformation in Ultrafine Particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conversion of magnetite to maghemite has been studied kinetically in the ultrafine particle range (77-220A) by chemical analysis. X-ray diffraction, and Mossbauer measurements. The reaction is third order. The activation temperatures are relatively low (8 250-1 1 200 K). Electron hopping in ultrafine magnetite powders is discussed on the basis of the results.

SPIONs for cell labelling and tracking using MRI: magnetite or maghemite?†
Although there is extensive literature covering the biomedical applications of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), the phase of the iron oxide core used is not often taken into account when cell labelling and tracking studies for regenerative medicine are considered. Here, we use a co-precipitation reaction to synthesise particles of both magnetite(Fe3O4) and maghemite(γ-Fe2O3)...
متن کاملArsenic and chromium removal by mixed magnetite-maghemite nanoparticles and the effect of phosphate on removal.
Adsorption of arsenic and chromium by mixed magnetite and maghemite nanoparticles from aqueous solution is a promising technology. In the present batch experimental study, a commercially grade nano-size 'magnetite', later identified in laboratory characterization to be mixed magnetite-maghemite nanoparticles, was used in the uptake of arsenic and chromium from different water samples. The inten...

Due to the unique physicochemical properties of nanomaterials (NM) and their unknown reactivity, the possibility of NM altering the optical properties of fluorometric/colorimetric probes that are used to measure their cyto- and genotoxicity may lead to inaccurate readings. This could have potential implications given that NM, such as ultrafine superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPION)...

Three different magnetic samples with particle sizes ranging from 10 to 30 nm were prepared by wet chemical methods. The powders were heated at 100, 150, 200, and 250 °C during 30 min under air. Ferrous and total iron contents were determined immediately after the synthesis and after the thermal treatments. All samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission and integral low-energ...
