Title: Mössbauer Studies of Core-Shell FeO/Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} Nanoparticles

Abstract

FeO/Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition. Electron microscopy revealed that these nanoparticles were of the core-shell type and had a spherical shape with an average size of ~20 nm. It was found that the obtained FeO/Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles had exchange coupling. The effect of anisotropy on the efficiency of heating (hyperthermic effect) of FeO/Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles by an external alternating magnetic field was examined. The specific absorption rate (SAR) of the studied nanoparticles was 135 W/g in the experiment with an external alternating magnetic field with a strength of 600 Oe and a frequency of 310 kHz. These data led to an important insight: the saturation magnetization is not the only factor governing the SAR, and the efficiency of heating of magnetic FeO/Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles may be increased by enhancing the effective anisotropy. Mössbauer spectroscopy of the phase composition of the synthesized nanoparticles clearly revealed the simultaneous presence of three phases: magnetite Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}, maghemite γ-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}, and wustite FeO.
