Structural, Magnetic, and Electronic Properties of Mixed Spinel NiFeCrO Nanoparticles Synthesized by Chemical Combustion.

A series of nickel-chromium-ferrite NiFeCrO (with x = 1.25) nanoparticles (NPs) with a cubic spinel structure and with size d ranging from 1.6 to 47.

Synthesis and magnetic properties of the chromium-doped iron sulfide Fe1-xCrxS single crystalline nanoplates with a NiAs crystal structure.

Single crystalline iron sulfide nanoparticles doped with chromium Fe1-xCrxS (0 ≤x≤ 0.15) have been successfully prepared by a thermal decomposition method. The particles are self-organized into the single crystalline plates with the accurate hexagonal shape and dimensions up to 1 μ in plane and about 30-40 nm in thickness.

In situ synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles in shells of biodegradable polyelectrolyte microcapsules.

Hollow microcapsules with the shell composed of biodegradable polyelectrolytes modified with the maghemite nanoparticles were fabricated by in situ synthesis. The nanoparticles were synthesized from the iron salt and the base directly on the capsule shells prepared by "layer by layer" technique. An average diameter of the capsule was about 6.

Structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of iron selenide Fe6-7Se8 nanoparticles obtained by thermal decomposition in high-temperature organic solvents.

Iron selenide nanoparticles with the NiAs-like crystal structure were synthesized by thermal decomposition of iron chloride and selenium powder in a high-temperature organic solvent. Depending on the time of the compound processing at 340 °C, the nanocrystals with monoclinic (M)-Fe3Se4 or hexagonal (H)-Fe7Se8 structures as well as a mixture of these two phases can be obtained. The magnetic behavior of the monoclinic and hexagonal phases is very different.
