Abstract:Nickel oxide nanoparticles were first synthesized by sputtering high-purity nickel in an oxygen plasma of a low-pressure arc discharge. The structure, morphology, and optical and magnetic properties of NiO nanoparticles were studied by XRD, TEM, FTIR, UV-VIS, and VSM. TEM images showed that the obtained NiO nanoparticles have a narrow particle size distribution and an average particle size of 12 nm. The XRD results and the processing of diffractograms by the Rietveld method showed that the obtained nanoparticl… 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.
