Synthesis of nanosized nickel ferrites by shock waves and their magnetic properties

Abstract

The nanosized mixture powders of ferric oxide and nickel oxide prepared by the coprecipitation in a stoichiometric ratio to form NiFe 2 O 4 were subjected to shock wave treatment. The nanosized nickel ferrites with different particle sizes were synthesized by means of varying initial packing density of the mixture. Compared with nickel ferrite prepared by conventional calcination, the magnetization of ones by shock wave treatment increases significantly. It is believed that shock wave treatment is a novel method for the preparation of nanosized powders of composite metal oxides with particular physical properties.

Dynamic diamond anvil cell (dDAC): A novel device for studying the dynamic-pressure properties of materials

“…Further, dynamic tuning of the pressure conditions for crystal growth can lead to controlled synthesis of nanoparticles. 20 Precise in-situ temperature sensors would be used to measure thermal changes associated with pressure-induced phase transitions, which are often accompanied by a latent heat. Finally advancing passed our use of a mechanical shutter (>1 ms exposure time) can lead to detection windows that are orders of magnitude shorter.…”

Synthesis of Carbon-Encapsulated Metal Nanoparticles by a Detonation Method

“…A detonation method used to synthesize carbon-coated iron nanoparticles was reported [9,10]. Liu et al [11] performed detonation synthesis of nickel nanoparticles, assuming that shock-induced chemical reactions leading to synthesis of compounds in powder mixtures occurred under conditions of microsecond-scale duration of high-pressure, high-strain-rate, and high-temperature states. Sun et al [12] reported that carbon-coated cobalt nanoparticles had been successfully synthesized with cobalt naphthenate and HMX by a detonation technique in a vacuum explosion vessel.…”
