摘要:
Spindle-type iron fine particles have been prepared by reduction of silica-coated-hematite particles. Hydrogen reduction of the coated-hematite cores yielded uniform spindle-type iron particles, which were stabilized by surface oxidation. Narrow particle distributions are observed from TEM measurements. X-ray, Mossbauer and magnetization data are in agreement with the presence of nanosized alpha -Fe particles, having surface layer of spinel structure oxide. Mossbauer spectra show that the oxide surface is superparamagnetic at room temperature. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
