Polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride (PP-MA, 2500 g mole(-1)) has demonstrated its unique capability to synthesize 1-D ferromagnetic hard (292.7 Oe) γ-Fe2O3 nanochains made of ~24 nm nanoparticles vs. PP-MA with 8000 g mole(-1) for the synthesis of 1-D ferromagnetic soft (70.5 Oe) γ-Fe2O3 nanochains (30 nm) made of flowerlike nanoparticles.

We report on the results of investigating the ferromagnetic properties of bare Cu nanoparticles. Three sets of bare Cu nanoparticle assemblies with mean particle diameters of 6.6, 8.1, and 11.1 nm were fabricated, employing the gas condensation method. Curie-Weiss paramagnetic responses to a weak driving magnetic field were detected, showing the appearance of particle superspins that overcomes ...

In this study, our aim is to investigate the structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of FeNi binary alloy. The alloy with Fe65Ni35 composition was prepared by ball milling followed annealing quenching processes. A Rietveld refinement analysis structural results reveals that system has coexisting cubic phases a dominant face-centered phase (Fm-3m;γ-FeNi). Magnetization compound indic...

AIM To study the ultrastructure and some functional indexes of tumor cells treated with stabilized iron nanoparticles in vitro. METHODS 3-[4,5dimethylthiazol-2-1]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)-test, electron microscopy, polarography with applying of closed Clark's electrode. RESULTS It was shown that cultivation of cells with stabilized Fe(3)O(4) leads to intracellular accumulation ...

In sharp contrast to previous studies on FeRh bulk, thin films, and nanoparticles, we report the persistence of ferromagnetic order down to 3 K for size-selected 3.3 nm diameter nanocrystals embedded into an amorphous carbon matrix. The annealed nanoparticles have a B2 structure with alternating atomic Fe and Rh layers. X-ray magnetic dichroism and superconducting quantum interference device me...

oxide nanoparticles of fe-co-ni were prepared in six different compositions by co-precipitation method. the as-synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), field emission scanning electron microscope (fesem), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) and vibrating sample magnetometer  (vsm). it was found that the nanoparticles had mean crystalline size of 30-55 nm and spher...

fe3o4 nanoparticles were synthesizedviaa simple chemical reaction between fecl2.4h2o and fe(no3)3.9h2o under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature, and then nanoparticles were added to cellulose acetate (ca) polymer. the influence of nanoparticles on the thermal properties of ca polymeric matrix was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (tga). nanostructures were characterized by x-ray dif...

We experimentally show that it is possible to induce room-temperature ferromagnetic-like behavior in ZnO nanoparticles without doping with magnetic impurities but simply inducing an alteration of their electronic configuration. Capping ZnO nanoparticles ( approximately 10 nm size) with different organic molecules produces an alteration of their electronic configuration that depends on the parti...

Two Cu-Mn-Al samples of different compositions were studied: one exhibiting martensitic transformation, another without structural transition. X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements demonstrate that different magnetic behaviors of alloys originate from different concentrations and sizes of ferromagnetic nanoparticles, which appear after solid solution decomposition.Estimation of magnetic m...
