Due to their bio-compatibility and non-toxicity, ferrimagnetic iron oxides are suitable for various medical applications. In the case of hyperthermia, the promising approach how to reach desired magnetic properties is to combine more phases into a composite material. A series of samples containing maghemite and M-hexaferrite was prepared by solgel method with subsequent thermal treatment where annealing temperature and time were varied. The samples were characterized by X-ray diraction. In this paper we focused mainly on application of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to investigate these strongly inhomogeneous nanoparticle composites. Frequencyswept 57 Fe NMR spectra of nanoparticle samples were measured in a zero external magnetic eld at 4.2 K. Utilizing dierences in optimal excitation eld strengths and in relaxation times, we were able to resolve NMR signal assigned to hexagonal ferrite of M-phase from signal which showed features attributed to maghemite.
M-type barium hexagonal ferrites BaFe 12 O 19 (BaM) films considered for new devices that operate in the 40-70 GHz range with small or zero applied magnetic fields were characterized by magneto-optical (MO) complex polar "Kerr" effect (PKE) spectroscopy, MO magnetometry, and spectral ellipsometry (SE). The textured polycrystalline films were grown on Pt(111)/TiO 2 template on Si wafer using metallo-organic decomposition technique (MOD) followed by rapid thermal annealing. In the films grown in one, two and three MOD iterations, the thickness was evaluated by SE and transmission electron microscopy. The film thickness ranged from 30 nm to 50 nm per MOD iteration. The best films display outof-plane effective magnetic anisotropy field of 13 kOe, high perpendicular remanent magnetization and ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of 340 Oe at 60 GHz. The coercivity deduced from the MO hysteresis loops ranged between 0.25 kOe and 0.52 kOe. The SE and PKE spectra were taken at photon energies from 0.7 eV to 6.4 eV and from 1.2 eV to 4.8 eV, respectively. The PKE spectra display the structure observed on BaM single crystal natural faces normal to the c-axis. They are consistent with magnetoplumbite structure, with high degree of grain c-axis ordering, absence of foreign phases and Fe valence-exchange mechanism. Single phase nature of the films was further confirmed by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and 57 Fe nuclear magnetic resonance at 4.2 K.
Bentonite/iron oxide system is prepared by isothermal calcination of powder composed of bentonite clay and precursor containing ferric acetate. This preparation technique enables one to get the composite material directly, that is, iron oxide particles embedded in a bentonite matrix. Calcination temperatureTcalcis varied from 320°C to 700°C. The resulting series of samples is characterized by local methods based on hyperfine interactions:57Fe nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and the Mössbauer spectroscopy. The results show that the phase composition changes significantly in dependence on calcination temperature. The amount of maghemite phase rapidly increases up toTcalc=420°C and decreases abruptly forTcalchigher than 460°C.
This work describes the design of a tuned NMR probehead that was developed for measurement of very broad spectra in fully impedance matched mode. The probehead is constructed as an insert of continuous flow cryostat to allow operation down to helium temperatures. Properties of the probehead are demonstrated on 57 Fe NMR in magnetic oxide with spinel structure.
Low temperature (4.2 K) magnetic behavior of Fe76Mo8Cu1B15 metallic glass was studied by 57Fe Mössbauer spectrometry (MS) and 57Fe NMR. Distributions of hyperfine magnetic fields P(B) were determined for as-quenched and annealed (nanocrystalline) samples with relative fraction of the grains about 43%. P(B) distributions were derived for both the amorphous matrix and nanocrystalline grains. NMR of alloys with natural and 57Fe enriched Fe enabled to assess the contribution of 11B to the total NMR signal. P(B) distribution of the as-quenched alloy derived from MS matches reasonably well the one from NMR of the enriched sample. NMR signal from the sample with natural Fe exhibits contributions from 11B nuclei. The principal NMR lines of the annealed alloys at 47 MHz correspond to bcc Fe nanocrystals. Small asymmetry of the lines towards higher frequencies might be an indication of possible impurity atoms in the bcc structure. The observed differences between natural and enriched samples are attributed to higher sensitivity in the latter. Positions of the lines attributed to bcc Fe nanocrystals obtained from MS and NMR are in perfect agreement.
