Abstract:Abstract. By hydrothermal decomposition of the Fe-EDTA complex, at 230°C, after 38 h of high -pressure treatment time, magnetite octahedrons with micrometric dimensions (15-45 μm) were obtained. Unusual and notable for these crystallites is the very small hysteresis surface, indicating a superparamagnetic-like behavior at micrometer scale, which means that the agglomeration of these crystallites is avoided after the removal of the magnetic field. This behavior can be correlated with a low level of imperfection… Show more
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.
