We have investigated the role of the grain boundary on the resistive magnetodielectric property of polycrystalline γ -Fe2O3 through impedance spectroscopy measurements. Depending on the sample preparation temperature, the dielectric constant of γ -Fe2O3 is significantly different especially at low frequencies (<104 Hz) and high temperatures (>200 K). The value of the magnetodielectric effect at...

Although individual γ-Fe2O3 and α-Fe2O3 have been widely fabricated for gas sensors, their mixed phase of α/γ-Fe2O3 might deliver excellent sensing properties. In this study, a facile solvothermal method was used to fabricate Fe-alkoxide. After thermal treatment, it converted into γ-Fe2O3, mixed-phase with nanosheets-assembled flower-like structure. We studied the influence calcination temperat...

Fe2O3 nanosheets and nanoparticles are grown on graphene by simply varying reaction solvents in a facile solvothermal/hydrothermal preparation. Fe2O3 nanosheets are uniformly dispersed among graphene nanosheets, forming a unique sheet-on-sheet nanostructure. Due to the structure affinity between two types of two dimensional nanostructures, graphene nanosheets are separated better by Fe2O3 nanos...

Biological materials offer a wide range of multifunctional and structural properties that are currently not achieved in synthetic materials. Herein we report on the synthesis and preparation of bioinspired organic/inorganic composites that mimic the key physicochemical features associated with the mechanical strengthening of both squid beaks and mussel thread coatings using chitosan as an initi...

Magnetic nanoparticles are the good choice for using in MRI as the contrast agent. Iron oxide particles such as magnetite (Fe3O4) or its oxidized form maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) are the most commonly employed in biomedical applications. In this study, we synthesized and optimized the preparation of chitosan manganese-ferrite nanoparticles (CMn-Fe nps) and evaluated its ability for the mice macrophage ...
