Abstract

Silicon carbide nanotubes have been prepared and decorated with CoFe2O4 spinel. These nanocomposites were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of the dried SiC support with a stoichiometric aqueous solution of the cobalt and iron nitrates. After drying, subsequent annealing treatments were performed under air in the temperature range 873 to 1073 K. X-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy reveal the presence of spinel nanoparticles at the surface of the tubes. Magnetic properties of the nanocomposites show in the magnetic field explored (up to 5 T) that saturation magnetization is not observed neither at room temperature nor at 5Kelvin. The nanometric character and the nature of the spinel particles are also confirmed by the coercive field (1.6 T) observed at low temperature and the curie temperature.
