Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

A method has been proposed for the preparation of nickel ferrite nanoparticles in a system of direct sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles using ion flotation. Amorphous nickel ferrite nanoparticles with the overall composition xNiFe2O4 · yFe2O3 · zH2O, containing dodecyl sulfate anion impurities, have been prepared. According to transmission electron microscopy results, the size distribution of the synthesized nanoparticles has a maximum in the range 4 to 6 nm, and the ferrite is X-ray amorphous. The blocking temperature of the synthesized nanoparticles is 25 K. The ferrite possesses superparamagnetic properties, with a specific saturation magnetization of 15 A m2/kg at 5 K.
