Preparation and magnetic properties of hollow nano-spheres of cobalt and cobalt oxide: Drastic cooling-field effects on remnant magnetization of antiferromagnet

Abstract: We investigate the making of magnetic hollow spheres of Co3O4 (2) and fcc Co (3) with diameter 500 nm and thickness 40 nm, using polystyrene-bead templates. The spheres are characterized by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, electron diffraction, and x-ray diffraction. Magnetic measurements on 2 reveal a drastic enhancement of remnant magnetization below TN induced by cooling-field, while measurements on 3 indicate a soft ferromagnetism similar to that of bulk fcc Co.

“…4 ) is formed due to the strong interactions between silica and nickel species. [50,51] After silica removal and reduction with H 2 at 450-500 8C, metallic Ni [50] or Ni-silica [51] [52,53] More recently, Xu and co-workers have reported synthesis of uniform hollow nanospheres of NiO, a-Fe 2 O 3 , ZnO, CuO and Ga 2 O 3 using carbonaceous polysaccharide nanospheres as hard templates by controlled precipitation followed by calcination. [54] The key to this controlled precipitation route appears to involve preferred heterogeneous precipitation on the template surface induced by slow release of hydroxyl anions from thermal decomposition of urea.…”

“…[9] In another example, Halas and co-workers have demonstrated that gold nanoshells greatly expand the spectral range of surface-plasmon-resonance (SPR) features. [10] Hollow metal nanostructures are often prepared by templating using existing entities such as silica beads, [11] polymer beads, [12] micelles [13] or by seed-mediated methods. [14] Recently, transmetallation reactions between hydrophobic silver nanoparticles and hydrophobic chloroaurate and chloroplatinate ions in chloroform were reported to result in the formation of hollow gold and platinum shell nanoparticles, respectively.…”

“…The recent progress in fine processing technologies has enabled the fabrication of nanoscale materials with novel shapes [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. A study of the basic properties of these materials is crucially important for many potential applications; it also helps to gain a new perspective on nanodevice modeling.…”
