AB  - Different synthesis methods for the preparation of nanocrystalline nickel ferrites are reported: the thermal decomposition of precursors, made of: (i) metal-nitrate salts with carboxylic acids (citric, malonic and tartaric), and (ii) metal-nitrate salts and polyethylene glycol (PEG), in the presence of potassium chloride as a capping agent. The as-prepared gel precursors were characterized by TGA/DTA, while the samples obtained after annealing at 450 degrees C were investigated by FTIR, FESEM, XRD and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Regardless of the type of carboxylic acid used, nanocrystallites prepared by (i) method are similar in size (11-16 nm), while the method (ii) gives crystallites similar to 33 nm in size with negligible microstrain. The differences in the lattice parameter, ranging from 8.3369(2) to 8.3574(2) angstrom, result from cation distribution, nonstoichiometry and structural imperfections in the nickel ferrite nanoparticles. The Mossbauer spectra analysis indicates existence of large distortions of tetrahedral and octahedral sites in these spinel compounds. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

AB  - Evolution of the structural and magnetic properties of ZnFe1.95Yb0.05O4 nanoparticles, prepared via a high-energy ball milling route and exposed to further thermal annealing/heating, was assessed in detail and correlation of these properties explored. inversion, heating of the sample to similar to 500 degrees C is found to rapidly alter the cation distribution from mixed to normal, in agreement with the known cation preferences. Under the same conditions the crystallite size only slowly grows. By further thermal treatment appreciably. An interrelationship among the lattice parameter, octahedral site occupancy, and crystallite size has been established. The observations are (a) both the site occupancy of Fe3+ at octahedral 16d spinel sites (N-16d(Fe3+)) and the cubic lattice parameter rapidly increase with an initial increase of the crystallite size, (b) the lattice parameter increases with increasing occupancy, N-16d(Fe3+), and (c) there appears to be a critical nanoparticle diameter (approximately 15 nm) above which both the site occupancy and lattice parameter values are saturated. The magnetic behavior of the annealed samples appears to be correlated to the evolution of both the cation distribution and crystallite size, as follows. As-prepared samples and those annealed at lower temperatures show superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature, presumably as a consequence of the Fe3+ distribution and strong Fe3+(8a)-O-Fe3+(16d) superexchange interactions. Samples with a nanopartide diameter greater than 12 nm and with almost normal distributions exhibit the paramagnetic state. The coercive field is found to decrease with an increase of the crystallite size. Partial Yb3+/Fe3+ substitution is found to increase the inversion parameter and saturation magnetization. Detailed knowledge of the thermal evolution of structural/microstructural parameters allows control over the cation distribution and crystallite size and hence the magnetic properties of nanoferrites.

AB  - Ultrafine porous cerium dioxide nanopowders were synthesized by relatively new and cost-effective hydrothermal method varying the main synthesis parameters, temperature of calcination and type of basic solution. Characterization of the as-produced powders was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman scattering and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. This study reveals that difference in synthesis parameters has strong influence on the particle size, surface area, and pore size distribution enabling the more precise control of material properties very important for catalytic and nanosensor applications.

AB  - After controlled thermal degradation of acetylacetonato (AA) complexes, mixtures of monodisperse similar to 5 nm large isometric particles of Y2-xYbxO3 (x = 0.06, 0.10, 0.20, 0.40) were synthesized. Detailed information on nanoparticles microstructure and core crystal structure is reported. The Yb3+ ions occupy preferently C-3i sites for low Yb3+ concentrations, while for 20 at.% Yb3+, a random distribution was found. It was shown that the particle/crystallite size and strain as well as Raman modes positions and widths are influenced by Yb3+ concentration. Crystallographic and Raman spectroscopy results indicate that the particles are core/shell structured with cubic crystalline core and monoclinic-like disordered shell. Most probable particles shell/core volume ratio decreased with annealing at 500 degrees C and the shell disappeared when annealed at 1000 degrees C. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - A novel synthesis route based on thermal decomposition of yttrium and gadolinium complexes with 2,4-pentanedione ligand has been used to synthesize 5 nn size (Y0.9Gd0.1)(2)O-3 powder. Refinement of occupancy parameters revealed that Gd3+ ions preferably occupy C-3i sites in host Y2O3, forming a material with a metastable cation distribution. The average crystallite size was found to increase, and the average microstrain to decrease, as the annealing temperature is increased, while the Gd3+ ion distribution remained metastable in nature. Small anisotropic X-ray powder diffraction pattern line broadening due to crystallite size effects was observed. The inverse susceptibility of the 5 nn sample exhibits unusual break in slope to a smaller value below 2.7 K. (C) 2007 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
