Abstract
Co-ferrite nanoparticles have been synthesized by the decomposition of iron(III) acetylacetonate, Fe(acac)3 and Co acetylacetonate, Co(acac)2 in benzyl/phenyl ether in the presence of oleic acid and oleyl amine at the refluxingtemperature of 295℃/265℃ for 30min. before cooling to room temperature. Particle diameter detected by PSA can be turned from 4 nm to 20 nm by seed-mediated growth and reaction conditions. Structural and magneticcharacterization of Co-ferrite were measured by use of HRTEM, SAED (selected area electron diffraction), XRD and SQUID. The as-synthesized Co-ferrite nanoparticles have a cubic spinel structure and coercivity of 20 nm CoFe2O4 nanoparticles reached 1 kOe at room temperature and 18 kOe at 10 K.
Keywords: Co-ferrite nanoparticles; coercivity; seed-mediated growth; forming gas
