The nanopowders (NPs) ZnO-Zn-Fe and ZnO-Fe with the various concentrations of Fe (xFe) (0≤xFe≤0.619mass.%) were prepared by the pulsed electron beam evaporation method. The influence of doping Fe on structural and magnetic properties of NPs was investigated. X-ray diffraction showed that powders contain fine-crystalline and coarse-crystalline ZnO fractions with wurtzite structure and an amorphous component. Secondary phases were not found. The magnetic measurements made at room temperature, using the vibration magnetometer and Faraday’s scales, showed ferromagnetic behavior for all powders. Magnetization growth of NPs ZnO-Zn and ZnO-Zn-Fe was detected after their short-term annealing on air at temperatures of 300–500°C. The growth of magnetization is connected with the increase in the concentration of the phase ZnO with a defective structure as the result of oxidation nanoparticles (NPles) of Zn. The scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) showed a lack of Fe clusters and uniform distribution of atoms dopant in the initial powder ZnO-Zn-Fe. A lack of logical correlation between magnetization and concentration of a magnetic dopant of Fe in powders is shown.

AbstractIn the present study pure and doped gallium nitride (GaN) nanocrystals were synthesized using gallium trichloride (GaCl3), ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) and cobalt chloride as raw materials at a temperature of 900 °C in ammonia (NH3) atmosphere. The XRD spectrum for pure and cobalt doped GaN nanocrystals shows the formation of single phase wurtzite structure. No impurity phases were observed in the X-ray diffraction pattern for 5% Co doped sample whereas secondary phases were observed when the doping concentration exceeds 5 %. Shift in X-ray diffraction peaks were observed in Co doped samples towards lower angle side compared to pure GaN, it confirms that the Co atoms introduces in to the GaN lattice. Transmission electron microscopy images were taken for pure and Co doped GaN. Hexagonal morphology was observed in pure GaN samples. The average size of the particle was found to be ˜20 nm for pure and Co doped GaN. The magnetic measurements were carried out for the Co (5% & 10%) doped samples both at 10K and 300K. Clear hysteresis loop in the magnetization curve suggest the presence of ferromagnetic behavior in cobalt doped GaN. Temperature dependent magnetization (M-T) measurements were also carried out for doped samples using Super Conducting Quantum Interface Device (SQUID) from 10K to 300K The results have been discussed and correlated to structural and magnetic properties of the materials.

Objective: The influence of Manganese (Mn2+) and Cobalt (Co2+) ions doping on the optical and magnetic properties of ZnO nanoparticles was studied. Methods: Nanoparticle samples of type ZnO, Zn0.97Mn0.03O, Zn0.96Mn0.03Co0.01O, Zn0.95Mn0.03 Co0.02O, Zn0.93Mn0.03Co0.04O, and Zn0.91Mn0.03Co0.06O were synthesized using the wet chemical coprecipitation method. Results: X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed that the prepared samples exhibited a single phase of hexagonal wurtzite structure without any existence of secondary phases. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images clarified that Co doping at high concentrations has the ability to alter the morphologies of the samples from spherical shaped nanoparticles (NPS) to nanorods (NRs) shaped particles. The different vibrational modes of the prepared samples were analyzed through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements. The optical characteristics and structural defects of the samples were studied through Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. PL results clarified that Mn2+ and Co2+ doping quenched the recombination of electron-hole pairs and enhanced the number of point defects relative to the undoped ZnO sample. Magnetic measurements were carried out at room temperature using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). (Mn, Co) co-doped ZnO samples exhibited a ferromagnetic behavior coupled with paramagnetic and weak diamagnetic contributions. Conclusion: Mn2+ and Co2+ doping enhanced the room temperature Ferromagnetic (RTFM) behavior of ZnO. In addition, the signature for antiferromagnetic ordering between the Co ions was revealed. Moreover, a strong correlation between the magnetic and optical behavior of the (Mn, Co) co-doped ZnO was analyzed.

A study of the structural and magnetic properties of Cr-and Fe-doped CeO2 nanoparticles produced by the sol–gel-based method was undertaken. The crystal structure and phase, morphology, and magnetic properties of the sample were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy (Raman) and physical property measurement system (PPMS). XRD and Raman studied showed that Cr-and Fe-doped did not change CeO2 original cubic fluorite crystal structure, and no ferromagnetic secondary phase was observed. SEM images showed that Cr-and Fe-doped CeO2 nanoparticles were spherical, uniform size, and good dispersion. The particle size was about 20 nm. The magnetic measurements showed that the Cr-and Fe-doped CeO2 nanoparticles presented ferromagnetic behavior at 10 and 300 K, indicating the Curie temperature was above room temperature. The magnetization diminished with the increase of the temperature. The saturation magnetization and coercivity of Fe-doped CeO2 nanoparticles were higher than that of Cr-doped CeO2 nanoparticles. Combined with the results of XRD and Raman, the ferromagnetic behavior can be attributed to the intrinsic properties of Cr-and Fe-doped CeO2 nanostructures.

ABSTRACTThe synthesis of bimetallic magnetic nanoparticles is very challenging because of the agglomeration and non-uniform size. In this paper, we present the synthesis of monodispersed 3-5 nm sized thiolated bimetallic alloyed Au/Co nanoparticles with decahedral and icosahedral shape, their characterization using Cs-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and magnetic measurements using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. The Z-contrast imaging and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping showed an inhomogeneous alloying with minor segregation between Au and Co at nanoscale and the SQUID measurement exhibited the ferromagnetic behavior.
