Magnetic characterization of calcium-nickel-potassium oxide catalysts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 March 2011
Abstract
SQUID magnetometer characterization of Ca–Ni–K–O catalyst materials reveals complex magnetic behavior. The magnetic properties are generally determined by the antiferromagnetic material NiO, but samples with traces of elemental nickel show marked effects of ferromagnetism. Potassium doping enhances the formation of metallic nickel. Further deviations from bulk NiO properties can be attributed to NiO particle size effects (superparamagnetism) and to the presence of paramagnetic impurities, possibly Ni3+ ions.
