Synthesis Of Novel Coo/Mnfe2o4 Heterostructured Nanoparticles And The Effects Of Variable Size And Extent Of Overgrowth On Their Magnetic Properties, Mohammad Tauhidul Islam Dec 2020

Synthesis Of Novel Coo/Mnfe2o4 Heterostructured Nanoparticles And The Effects Of Variable Size And Extent Of Overgrowth On Their Magnetic Properties, Mohammad Tauhidul Islam

MSU Graduate Theses

A combination of thermal decomposition and surfactant-assisted synthesis route was utilized to synthesize novel CoO/MnFe2O4 heterostructured nanoparticles. Four samples of varying CoO core size were synthesized with variable extent of overgrowth phase. XRD, XPS, SEM and TEM data show evidence of MnFe2O4 spinel phase overgrowth on CoO rock-salt structured nanoparticles. XPS and magnetic data reveal partial oxidation and formation of Co3O4 phase on 7 nm and 19 nm size CoO-based nanoparticles. The remaining samples having 22 nm and 34 nm dimensions show a higher percentage of FiM materials overgrowth on the …


The Structural And Magnetic Properties Of Nio/Mn(Ni)-Oxide Magnetic Heterostructured Nanocrystals Synthesized Under Varying Ph Values, Abdullah Al Shafe Aug 2020

The Structural And Magnetic Properties Of Nio/Mn(Ni)-Oxide Magnetic Heterostructured Nanocrystals Synthesized Under Varying Ph Values, Abdullah Al Shafe

MSU Graduate Theses

The role of pH on the structural, morphological, and magnetic properties of hydrothermally synthesized NiO-based magnetic heterostructured nanocrystals (MHNCs) is investigated. The NiO nanocrystals were synthesized using a two-step thermal decomposition process whereas the deposition of the surrounding Mn-based phases was accomplished by hydrothermal means at pH values ranging from 2.4 to 7.0. The resulting heterostructured nanocrystals consist of inverted AFM-FiM NiO/±MnxNi1-xO/±Mn3O4 bimagnetic/trimagnetic systems. A complete characterization of the MHNCs was carried using XRD, TEM, EDS, MPMS magnetometry and XPS analysis. Structural investigations revealed predominantly faceted MHNCs ranging in size from 24-30 nm …


Magnetic Studies Of Multiferroic Heterostructures, Ahmed Rayhan Mahbub May 2018

Magnetic Studies Of Multiferroic Heterostructures, Ahmed Rayhan Mahbub

MSU Graduate Theses

Multiferroic heterostructures (MHS) consisting of at least two materials with ferroic properties have been a major focus for researchers recently due to its immense potential in device applications. Almost all MHS use ferromagnetic layers making it a very important research area. In this thesis the magnetic properties of different ferromagnetic heterostructures have been investigated. Different bilayers of hard ferromagnet cobalt ferrite (CFO)-soft ferromagnet lanthanum strontium manganese oxide (LSMO) and hard ferromagnet CFO-antiferromagnet nickel oxide (NiO) were fabricated. Pulsed laser deposition technique was used to deposit the thin films on LAO and sapphire substrates. Purpose of using a hard ferromagnetic CFO …


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 …


A Study Of Copper And Aluminum Incorporated Chromium Oxide Core-Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles, Tamzid Ibn Minhaj Jan 2017

A Study Of Copper And Aluminum Incorporated Chromium Oxide Core-Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles, Tamzid Ibn Minhaj

MSU Graduate Theses

The structural and magnetic properties of copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) -incorporated chromium oxide (α-Cr2O3, i.e., chromia) inverted core-shell nanoparticles (CSNs) were investigated. The objectives of this study were to determine the role of the substituting (for chromium, Cr) element and of Cu concentration on governing the magnetic properties of the CSNs. For synthesis of the CSNs, α-Cr2O3 nanoparticles were first grown using microwave assisted synthesis whereupon a hydrothermal nanophase epitaxy (HNE) method was used to incorporate Cu or Al in the chromia-based shell of the nanoparticles. The morphology, structure and size characteristics …
