Carbon or nitrogen doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized in the air by a facile calcination process. X-ray diffraction, mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and mössbauer spectra results indicate that the nonmetal elements as the interstitial one are doped into cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. The morphologies of doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles change from near-spherical to irregular cubelike shapes gradually with the increased carbon or nitrogen concentration, and their particles sizes also increase more than 200 nm. Furthermore, the saturation magnetization of carbon doped cobalt ferrite is improved. Although the saturation magnetization of N-doped cobalt ferrite is not enhanced obviously due to the involved hematite, they also do not drop drastically. The results reveal an approach to synthesize large scale ferrite nanoparticles, and improve the magnetic properties of ferrite nanoparticles, and also provide the potential candidates to synthesis co-doped functional magnetic materials.
To improve the high-frequency properties of Fe-based thin films, doped and pure Fe thin films were obliquely deposited on Si (100) substrate by RF-magnetron sputtering. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements show obvious in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in both doped and pure Fe thin films, and enhancement effects of doping on Soft magnetic properties were also observed. Microwave permeability measurements indicate that the resonance frequency and permeability of pure Fe films are much larger than those of doped Fe thin films. Damping factors of Fe thin films deposited at different oblique angles were further investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
