Synthesis of carbon-encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles by a grain-boundary-reaction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Carbon-encapsulated ferric magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by the grain-boundary-reaction of ultrafine goethite particles. The mechanism of the grain-boundary-reaction was studied with high-resolution transmission electronic microscope, X-ray diffraction and thermo gravimetric analysis. The magnetic properties are measured with a vibrating sample magnetometer. The diameter of carbon-encapsulated ferric magnetic nanoparticles is 30~60 nm, and the coercive force and saturate magnetization are 315 Oe and 30 emu /(g powder), respectively. These composite particles are very stable in air.
