Synchrotron XANES Spectra of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxides Synthesized by Ultrasonic-Assisted Co-Precipitation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by employing an ultrasonic homogenizer in conjunction to the co-precipitation of Fe (NO3)3·9H2O, FeCl2·4H2O and NaOH. Synchrotron X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra could be fitted with the contributions from hematite (α-Fe2O3) and, to a lesser extent, metallic Fe. The increase in reagent concentrations increased the Fe fraction which partly explained the change in magnetization of superparamagnetic particles. Nevertheless, the α-Fe2O3 composition was increased by using a longer reaction time.
