Orientation Control of Hematite via Transformation of Textured Goethite Prepared by EPD in a Strong Magnetic Field

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fabrication of textured hematite was achieved from paramagnetic goethite by electrophoretic deposition in a strong magnetic field followed by thermal treatment via topotactic phase transformation. The textured microstructure of the hematite was characterized by XRD and SEM observations. It was confirmed that the a,b-axes of the goethite were taken over the c-axis of the hematite through the topotactic phase transformation The magnetization vs magnetic field measurement using a VSM revealed that the textured hematite showed an anisotropic magnetic property depending on the direction of the crystalline orientation.
