A Study Of Manganese And Cobalt Incorporated Nickel Oxide Based Core-Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles, Samiul Hasan Dec 2017

A Study Of Manganese And Cobalt Incorporated Nickel Oxide Based Core-Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles, Samiul Hasan

MSU Graduate Theses

The synthesis along with the structural and magnetic properties of manganese (Mn) and cobalt (Co) -incorporated nickel oxide (NiO) inverted core-shell nanoparticles (CSNs) were investigated. The primary objective of this study was to determine the effect of substitution of nickel (Ni) by transition metal ions (Mn2+/Co2+) in affecting the magnetic properties of the resultant CSNs. The core of the CSNs is comprised of NiO and the shell constitutes a Nix(Mn/Co)1-xO phase. The synthesis of the CSNs was accomplished in two steps: first, NiO nanoparticles were synthesized using a thermal decomposition method. In …


Multifunctional Transition Metal Oxide Core Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles, Mahmud Reaz May 2017

Multifunctional Transition Metal Oxide Core Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles, Mahmud Reaz

MSU Graduate Theses

Oxide core-shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) have attracted considerable interest for their multifunctional properties. Luminescent ZnO, ferroelectric BaTiO3, and inverse spinel iron oxide can be exploited to develop magneto-luminescent and multiferroic nanomaterials. The novel sonochemical method has been used to synthesize the nanomaterials. Atomic-scale spectroscopy establishes the core-shell nature and multifunctional properties of the nanomaterials. Magnetic hysteresis (coercivity, remnant, and saturation magnetization) and temperature dependent data indicate the key structural difference between the oxidized and reduced ZnO/iron oxide CSNPs. Variation in the coercive field and remnant and saturation magnetization further confirms the presence of different iron oxides in the shell region. Temperature …
