AbstractA homogeneous non-aqueous solution reactions method has been developed to prepare gold-coated cobalt (Co@Au) nanoparticles. After the sample was washed with 8% HCl, XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), and magnetic measurements SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) are utilized to characterize the nanocomposites. XRD shows the pattern of sample, which is responding to gold and cobalt, no cobalt oxide was found. TEM results show that the average size of Co@Au nanoparticles is about 10 nm and we can find core-shell structure of the sample. SQUID results show that the particles are ferromagnetic materials at 300K. So the gold- coated cobalt nanoparticles (Co@Au) can be successfully prepared by the homogeneous nonaqueous approach. This kind of core-shell materials is stable in acid condition, which would give many opportunities for bio- application.

Core/shell type nanoparticles with an average diameter of 20nm were synthesized by chemical precipitation method. Firstly, Monodisperse Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by solvethermal method. FeSO4ž7H2O and NaBH4 were respectively dissolved in distilled water, then moderated Fe3O4 particles and surfactant(PVP) were ultrasonic dispersed into the FeSO4ž7H2O solution. The resulting solution was stirred 2 h at room temperature. Fe could be deposited on the surface of monodispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles to form core-shell particles. The particles were characterized by using various experimental techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), AGM and DTA. The results suggest that the saturation magnetization of the nanocomposites is 100 emu/g. The composition of the samples show monodisperse and the sides of the core/shell nanoparticles are 20-30nm. It is noted that the formation of Fe3O4/Fe nanocomposites magnetite nanoparticles possess superparamagnetic property.

In this paper, we prepared the rattle type nanoparticles ZnO@void@SiO2 by two successive coating processes, followed by heat treatment. The carbon layer was formed over ZnO surface with the aid of the hydrothermal treatment of glucose. Then the resulting composite was used to fabricate a silica shell on the surface by sol–gel method. Finally, ZnO particles were released but still trapped inside the silica hollow after calcination, that is, ZnO@void@SiO2. The composites were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscope, N2 adsorption experiment, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and UV-Vis absorption spectra. The rattle type structure was conformed and the sphere-like structure with the average size of 70 nm and hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure were also observed. The measurement results of optical properties showed even though ZnO@C@SiO2 presented no photocatalysis, ZnO@void@SiO2 showed high activity even the ZnO core was encapsulated with the SiO2 hollow.

Carbon-encapsulated Ni nanoparticles with the size of 5 to 30 nm were synthesized from de-oiled asphalt (DOA) by heat-treatment at 1800 °C with nickel powder. The nanoparticles exhibited well-constructed core-shell structures, with Ni cores and graphitic shells. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) examinations confirmed that the carbon-encapsulated Ni nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in carbon matrix and the Ni nanoparticles were surrounded by several carbon layers with well ordered arrangement. The formation of the core-shell nanoparticles was selectively controlled by adjusting the ratio of de-oiled asphalt to nickel powders. The possible growth model for the carbon-encapsulated Ni nanoparticles was discussed briefly. This result presents a simple and controllable way to synthesize carbon-encapsulated nickel nanoparticles.

Core Pr3+ : LaF3 (CPr = 1%) plate-like nanoparticles (nanoplates), core/shell Pr3+ : LaF3 (CPr = 1%)/LaF3 nanoplates, core Pr3+ : LaF3 (CPr = 1%) sphere-like nanoparticles (nanospheres), and core/shell Pr3+ : LaF3 (CPr = 1%)/LaF3 nanospheres were synthesized via the coprecipitation method of synthesis. The nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and optical spectroscopy. The formation of the shell was proved by detecting the increase in physical sizes, sizes of coherent scattering regions, and luminescence lifetimes of core/shell NPs comparing with single core NPs. The average physical sizes of core nanoplates, core/shell nanoplates, core nanospheres, and core/shell nanospheres were 62.2 ± 0.9, 74.7 ± 1.2, 13.8 ± 0.9 and 22.0 ± 1.2 nm, respectively. The formation of the NP shell led to increasing of effective luminescence lifetime τeff of the 3P0 state of Pr3+ ions for the core nanoplates, core/shell nanoplates, core nanospheres, and core/shell nanospheres the values of τeff were 2.3, 3.6, 3.2, and 4.7 μsec, respectively (at 300 K). The values of absolute sensitivity Sa for fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) thermometry was 0.01 K−1 at 300 K for all the samples. The FIR sensitivity can be attributed to the fact that 3P1 and 3P0 states share their electronic populations according to the Boltzmann process. The values of Sa for lifetime thermometry for core nanoplates, core/shell nanoplates, core nanospheres, and core/shell nanospheres were (36.4 ± 3.1) · 10−4, (70.7 ± 5.9) · 10−4, (40.7 ± 2.6) · 10−4, and (68.8 ± 2.4) · 10−4 K−1, respectively.

FePt nanoparticles (NPS), ~2nm in diameter, were synthesized and then coated with silica (SiO2) shells ~1.5nm-thick using reverse micelles as nanoreactors. The silica-coated FePt core–shell (FePt @silica) NPS were characterized by direct techniques of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the silica shells prevented the aggregation in liquid comparing to their bare counterparts. The as-synthesized FePt@SiO2 NPS exhibited essential characteristics of superparamagnetic behavior, as investigated by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies proved that the annealing at 700 °C for 30min under argon atmosphere caused the crystal structure of FePt core to transform from disordered face centered cubic (fcc) to the chemically ordered L10 FePt with face-centered tetragonal (fct) structure. This phase transition caused the change of magnetic properties of the FePt@SiO2 particles from superparamagnetism to ferromagnetism.

AbstractHetero-nanostructures based on magnetic contrast oxides have been prepared as highly dense nanoconsolidates. Cobalt ferrite-cobalt oxide core-shell type nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by seed mediated growth in polyol and subsequently consolidated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) at 500 °C for a few minutes while applying a uniaxial pressure of 100 MPa. It is interesting to note that the exchange bias feature observed in the core-shell NPs is reproduced in their ceramic counterparts, or even attenuated. A systematic structural characterization was then carried out to elucidate the decrease in the exchange magnetic field, involving mainly advanced X-ray diffraction, zero-field and in-field 57Fe Mössbauer spectrometry, magnetic measurements and electron microscopy.

Abstract Recently, gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles have drawn the interest of researchers due to their unique magneto-plasmonic characteristics. Previous research has found that the magneto-optical Faraday effect of gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles can be effectively enhanced because of the surface plasmon resonance of the gold shell. Furthermore, gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles are ideal for biomedical applications because of their high stability and biocompatibility. In this work, we synthesized Fe3O4@Au core-shell nanoparticles and coated streptavidin (STA) on the surface. Streptavidin is a protein which can selectively bind to biotin with a strong affinity. STA is widely used in biotechnology research including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), time-resolved immunofluorescence (TRFIA), biosensors, and targeted pharmaceuticals. The Faraday magneto-optical characteristics of the biofunctionalized Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles were measured and studied. We showed that the streptavidin-coated Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles still possessed the enhanced magneto-optical Faraday effect. As a result, the possibility of using biofunctionalized Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles for magneto-optical biomedical assays should be explored.

Experimental results are presented on the ablation of copper and brass targets in a liquid environment: ethanol, acetone, or water by irradiation with either a pulsed copper vapour laser (0.51 μm) or a pulsed Nd:YAG laser (1.06 μm). The ablated material was ejected into the surrounding liquid as nanoparticles of average size 20 nm. The nanoparticle composition depends on the nature of the liquid. Ablation of 60%Cu, 40%Zn brass in ethanol results in formation of core-shell nanoparticles. Brass nanoparticles were characterized by a well-defined plasmon peak at 510-520 nm.

Core-shell nanoparticles (SiO2/Ag) were manufactured by using a two-step process: Electric detonation of Ag. Wire in colloidal solution particles then by using laser pulses, nanoparticles are released. The structural features of these nanoparticles were checked by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The (XRD) study showed the progressive coverage of SiO2/Ag by nanoparticles according to the energies of the laser pulse. Measurements of morphology and EDX confirmed the Core/shell structure with particle size at the nano level. It confirmed that preliminary analysis consists of a SiO2 core and an Ag shell from FESEM.
