Magnetite nanoparticles as-prepared and dispersed in Copaiba oil: Study using magnetic measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy

Abstract

Study of magnetite nanoparticles, as-prepared and dispersed in Copaiba oil as magnetic fluid, by means of magnetic measurement and Mössbauer spectroscopy at various temperatures demonstrated differences in the saturation magnetization and Mössbauer hyperfine parameters which were related to the interactions of Copaiba oil polar molecules with iron cations on magnetite nanoparticle's surface. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
