Abstract

Nano sized α-Fe particle was synthesized by modified thermal decomposition method. It resulted in the higher saturation magnetization (Ms) almost equivalent to the value of bulk Fe power (Mbulk = 210 emu/g). To prepare Fe nanoparticles, the Fe2+-(oleate)2 complex was annealed at 400 J in pyrex tube and the prepared Fe3O4 nanoparticle was reduced to Fe crystal structure at 700 J with NaCl under Ar+H2 gas atmosphere and annealed again under high vacuum system of 10−5 torr. The crystallinity and structure of the Fe nanoparticle was investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The shape and size was confirmed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) images. The magnetic properties were characterized with coercivity and remanence from hysteresis loop by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM)
