This work studies surface effects on the critical dimensions of ferromagnetic nanoparticles. Iron nanoparticles with different mean diameters from 5.9 nm to 21.4 nm used in this research were prepared by thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of oleic acid/octyl ether at Cambridge University, United Kingdom. Heating response of these ferromagnetic nanoparticles suspended in water were measured experimentally during which same amount of iron nanoparticles and di-ionized water were irradiated by an alternating magnetic field and the increase in temperature of these samples was measured. Heating performance of nanoparticles was described in terms of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) …

The ternary oxide system Y-Fe-O presents fascinating magnetic properties that are sensitive to the crystalline size of particles. There is a major challenge to fabricate these materials in nano-crystalline forms due to particle conglomeration during nucleation and synthesis. In this paper we report the fabrication of nano sized crystalline yttrium ferrite by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) where yttrium and iron nitrates were used as metal precursors with glycine as a fuel. The magnetic properties of the product can be selectively controlled by adjusting the ratio of glycine to metal nitrates. Yttrium ferrite nano-powder was obtained by using three concentration of …
