Preparation and magnetic properties of nickel nanoparticles via the thermal decomposition of nickel organometallic precursor in alkylamines

Abstract: Nickel nanoparticles were prepared from the thermal decomposition of nickel(II) acetylacetonate in alkylamines and characterized by powder x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and magnetic measurement. The reaction temperature, heating rate and solvent type play an important role in the control over the crystalline phase. Depending on the reaction conditions, face-centered cubic (fcc) or hexagonal close-packed (hcp) nickel nanoparticles can be obtained. Monodisperse nickel nanoparticles were als… Show more

“…Note the systematic reduction of TB of hcp phase as the particle size increases from 3.8 nm to 6.0 nm through 4.0 nm. Relatively lower TB in the present samples, compared to those of distinct mixture of two phases or only hcp phase [18,43], is tentatively attributed to close proximity interaction with fcc phase and or related to the much smaller particle size for hcp phase in the naturally coexisting core-shell structure. In the larger particle size samples, only a single peak each in ZFC data is apparent supporting the finding from XRD analysis of pure fcc phase.…”

“…This is applied in mixture of hcp and fcc structures of 8.5 nm and 18 nm Ni nanoparticles, leading to exhibition of two distinct zero-field cooled (ZFC) magnetization peaks due to the superparamagnetic blocking (TB) at 12 K and 220 K, respectively [18]. They are further corroborated with ZFC magnetization peak at ~ 12 K of pure hcp Ni of 12.9 nm and above 300 K of pure fcc Ni of ~30nm [43]. Considering that these situations are applicable in the present samples, we assign double peaks in ZFC magnetization data ( Figure 10) at 5 K and 200.9 K of 3.8 nm sample, 3.2 K and 117.4 K of 4 nm sample, less than 2 K and 81.9 K of 6.0 nm sample due to the presence of hcp and fcc phases in these smaller particle size samples.…”

“…29,30 Besides, the blocking temperature (T B ) of the hcp Ni nanoparticles is tested to be around 12 K, much lower than that of fcc Ni (above 300 K). 9 A sharp T B peak always exists in the M-T curves of hcp Ni nanoparticles around 12-13 K, whereas that of fcc Ni nanoparticles is broad and size dependent. 30 To get further information on magnetic properties and confirm the correlation between structure and the magnetic behaviors, at first the M-T measurements were performed.…”
