Synthesis of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles by Different Methods and Study of their Properties

Abstract

In this work, iron oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized by precipitation in diethylene glycol, by cryochemical synthesis, in microemulsions using surfactants Triton X-100, Brij-35 and CTAB. Comparative spectroscopic, thermal, X-ray diffraction, 57Fe zero-field Mössbauer and magnetic studies of the synthesized nanoparticles have been carried out. Magnetic fluids prepared from synthesized nanopowders have been characterized by calorimetric measurements of specific loss power (SLP).
