Abstract

In presented paper magnetite nanoparticles (MNP), with various types of surface stabilizers has been fabricated. Nanostructures were obtained by thermal decomposition of Fe(acac)3 precursor in organic solutions. Five types of long-chain carboxylic acids and four types of amines were used for stabilization of nanoparticles. It was also tested, how surfactant concentration influences on the nanoparticles morphology and its properties. Obtained nanoparticles were examined by X-ray diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy and Infrared spectroscopy. Magnetic properties of the nanoparticles were tested by Mössbauer spectroscopy and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry. Magnetization and Mössbauer measurements show how stabilizer layer influence the magnetic state of particles. It has been analyzed the importance of the CC chain length, its spatial configuration or compound properties on magnetic state of the particles for few examples. From tested agents as a best, giving most even in shape and well distributed nanoparticles, hexylamine was selected.
