Abstract: Nanoparticles of barium hexaferrite were prepared by controlled hydrothermal synthesis at 280oC. During the synthesis, the composition of the precursor and the suspension concentration were controlled. The as-synthesized crystalline barium hexaferrite platelets of about 50 nm in length and 5 nm in thickness exhibited a saturation magnetization of 40 emu/g.

Abstract: Sonochemically assisted co-precipitation has been used to prepare nanosized manganesezinc- ferrite powder. A suspension of constituent hydroxides was ultrasonically irradiated for various times with high-intensity ultrasound radiation (20 kHz, 750 W) using a direct-immersion titanium horn. The average grain size and magnetization of the synthesized MnZn-ferrite nanoparticles gradually increases with the time of ultrasonic irradiation.

Abstract: A water-in-oil microemulsion method was used for the preparation of silica-coated permalloy (Ni0.80Fe0.20) nanoparticles. The particles were prepared by the reduction of their salts with sodium borohydride NaBH4 in a cationic water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion of water/cetyltrimethyl- amonium bromide (CTAB) and n-butanol/isooctane at 25oC. According to the TEM and x-ray diffraction analyses, the synthesized material was in the form of nanoparticles. The magnetization of the silica-coated nanoparticles was lower than that of the uncoated particles, reflecting the influence of the nonmagnetic silica surface layer on the magnetization.
