Room temperature ferromagnetic property of Fe-Y(Fe:Y-6.5) composite oxide nano-cluster via an extremely easy and scalable method

摘要

A novel Fe-Y composite oxide(Fe:Y-6.5) nanocluster was synthesized by self-assembly approach.The α-Fe_(2)O_(3) and cubic-Y_(2)O_(3) nanocrystalline with diameter around 10 nm are homogeneously assembled to form a cluster architecture which are constituted of Fe6.5Y composite oxide particles.Additional oxygen vacancies are introduced with cubic-Y_(2)O_(3),and the oxygen vacancies as Fe^(3+)-V_(0)-Y^(3+) between α-Fe_(2)O_(3) and cubic-Y_(2)O_(3) nanocrystalline are generated by self-assembly process.Magnetic hysteresis loops recorded by vibrating sample magnetometry at 273 K display a ferromagnetic order,related to the fact that Fe^(3+)-V_(o)-Y^(3+) act as defect centers in the bound magnetic polaron model for Fe-Y composite oxide nanomaterial.The ferromagnetic prope rties are proportional to oxygen vacancy co ntents,and maximum magnetization(M_(m)) value of the nano-cluster reaches 5.14 A·m^(2)/g.
