Synthesis of spinel zinc ferrite ultrafine needle-like particles that exhibit exceptional stability in aqueous dispersion (without any surfactants) and superparamagnetic response is reported. Comprehensive structural and magnetic characterization of the particles is performed using X-ray and electron diffraction, small angle X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, vibrating sample magnetometry, Mössbauer spectroscopy and high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy. It reveals nearly stoichiometric ZnFe₂O₄ nanorods with mixed spinel structure and unimodal size distribution of mean length of 20 nm and diameter of 5 nm. Measurements performed in aqueous and dried form shows that particles' properties are significantly changed as a result of drying.
据报道,合成了在水性分散体中(无需任何表面活性剂)表现出卓越稳定性和超顺磁响应的尖晶石型铁酸锌超细针状颗粒。使用X射线和电子衍射、小角X射线散射、透射电子显微镜、动态光散射、振动样品磁强计、穆斯堡尔光谱和高分辨率X射线光谱对颗粒进行了全面的结构和磁性表征。结果表明,该颗粒为近化学计量比的具有混合尖晶石结构的ZnFe₂O₄纳米棒,平均长度为20 nm,直径为5 nm,尺寸分布呈单峰。对水性和干燥形式的颗粒进行的测量表明,干燥会使颗粒的性质发生显著变化。
