Spheroid Nickel Nanoparticles Synthesized in CTAB Solution Using Gamma Radiation

Abstract:

Pure nickel nanoparticles with some paired grain shaped has been successfully synthesized using gamma radiation technique in aqueous system at ambient temperature without using reducing agent. Cetyl trimethylammonium bromide was used to prevent oxidation during radiolysis process and help to shape the nickel nanoparticles into spheroid. Synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction, tunnelling electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. The particles formed are crystallized with fcc phase without any oxidation state. The particle size ranging from 20 – 50 nm which consists of unique morphology of paired spheroid. Vibrating sample magnetometer analysis shows that sample has ferromagnetic properties with value of magnetic remanence smaller that bulk due to its size.
