Abstract

The magnetic properties of nanoparticle assemblies strongly depend on the structural and morphological characteristics of the individual nanoparticles as well as on their organization within the assembly. Here, we present the synthesis of cobalt and/or iron oxide nanoparticles within the ordered mesoporosity of a silica monolith by two different synthesis pathways (using either Prussian blue analogues or nitrate salts as a precursor). We describe the influence of the nature of the metal ion and of the synthesis pathway on the morphology of the nanoparticles. With respect to these observations, we present and discuss the temperature-dependent magnetic behaviors of the final nanocomposites.

Normalized Fe K-edge XANES spectra of NO3FeOx compared with the spectra of the maghemite and hematite references. It can be seen that the spectrum of NO3FeOx exhibits the same spectral features as the one of maghemite, whereas it is clearly different from the hematite one. This indicates the formation of maghemite rather than hematite in NO3FeOx. The spectra were measured in transmission mode on the SAMBA beamline at SOLEIL (Gif-sur-Yvette, France). They were conventionally normalized using the ATHENA software and energy calibrated after measurement. The acquisition was performed at room temperature in a continuous mode from 6900 to 8300 eV. No radiation damage was observed. The references were measured as pellets diluted in BN and NO3FeOx was placed between two pieces of kapton tape
