The drastic increase in the magnetic properties of Ni–Fe-Pb nanostructures synthesized via the sol–gel method under an argon gas atmosphere
摘要
Nanostructures of Ni–Fe-Pb were synthesized using the sol–gel technique, with a focus on controlling parameters such as annealing temperature and citric acid mass, while maintaining inert argon conditions. Enhanced characteristics were observed in samples prepared with a citric acid mass of 0.888 g and an annealing temperature of 900 °C, due to an increase in thermal reduction resulting from the formation of a FeNi alloy and depressurization of surface spin disorder. The changes in the composition of the samples were confirmed, ranging from oxides to a dominant alloy phase, with particles coarsening to 300 nm. Analytical X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy confirmed these phase changes. The particles exhibited multi-domain behavior. The material achieved a high Curie temperature of 624 °C, demonstrating excellent thermal stability. The results of this study highlight how synthesis chemistry and subsequent thermal treatments can be used to design high-performance magnetic nanomaterials with tailored phase compositions.
