Abstract
A new synthetic method for the formation of uniform α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles was reported and their magnetic properties were investigated. The sonochemical synthesis and the subsequent take-off technique resulted in spherical shaped α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with an average diameter of 60 nm. The temperature- and applied magnetic field-dependent magnetization of the α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles was explained by the sum of two contributions, i.e., the Morin transition and superparamagnetism, because the critical size for superparamagnetism was within the size variation of the nanoparticles.
Keywords: sonochemical synthesis; α-Fe2O3; Morin transition; superparamagnetism
