In this work, magnetic nanoparticles were generated by pulsed laser irradiation on the Nd-Fe-B-C magnetic target in Distilled water. Characterization of nanoparticles in terms of size, shape, chemical composition and magnetic properties was carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), magnetic force microscope (MFM). The exposure times were performed on 1, 5 and 10 min. increasing of the exposure time leads to reduce the mean diameter of the nanoparticles, with minimum size of around 3 nm, growth of the nanoparticle number and decreasing of the nanoparticle creation rate. The chemical composition of nanoparticles was similar to the bulk sample. MFM shows that the nanoparticles have the magnetic properties. Keywords: Magnetic nanoparticles; Nd:YAG Laser; Nd -Fe-B-C magnet MAG 007

The influence of Co concentration (x) on the structural, magneto-optical properties of CoxTi1-xO2 films has been investigated. The films were deposited by spray pyrolysis technique on Si(100) substrates at 475C using a hydro-alcoholic solution containing of titanium (iv) isopropoxide and Co(NO3)2 with various Co-doping levels of x=0, 0.003, 0.008, and 0.015. The effect of annealing atmosphere on structural and electronic structure of the films was investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the films have pure phase of TiO2. Atomic force microscope (AFM) study shows that the annealing does not change significantly the grain size and microstructure of the samples. Room temperature magneto-optical characterization in polar mode shows hysteresis loops for the samples annealed in H2 gas as well as a paramagnetic behaviour for the samples which were annealed in air. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis shows the presence of Co2+ high spin for sample with x=0.008 which annealed in H2. It shows that Co atoms are bounded to oxygen and there is no metallic bound in anatase structure. Therefore, the origin of magnetization could be attributed to the role of oxygen vacancies in anatase thin films.

Synthesis of Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles with Adding Yttrium Oxide on Pt-Fe3O4 Nanoparticles

a

Nanocrytalline samples of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 were synthesized by mechanical activation method in ambient conditions and post sintering at 900 C. The structural, magnetotransport, and magnetovolume properties of the samples were investigated. The results show a metalinsulator transition at TMI = 165 K, a ferro-paramagnetic transition at TC = 160 K and a colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) value of about 40% under the field of 1.5 T around TMI, which are markedly affected by the small grain size (9 nm) of the studied samples. This is attributed to the enhanced intergrain resistivity and spin-polarized tunnelling between neighbouring grains in the present granular samples. Besides, the anomalous behaviour of magnetoresistance, thermal expansion and its coefficient observed around TC of the samples can be explained on the basis of a magnetic two-phase state. Keywords: Manganites; Magnetoresistance; Thermal expansion; Mechanical activation MAG 008

Y-Pt- Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by a simple method. Synthesis of nanoparticles of Fe3O4 was first performed. Then Pt- Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared with adding K2PtCl6 in Fe3O4 nanoparticles solvent via reduction of K2PtCl6 in Fe3O4 nanoparticles by NaBH4. For studying the effect of rare earth oxides on Pt- Fe3O4 nanoparticles, Y2O3 was added to the Pt- Fe3O4 solvent. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These nanoparticles have chemically disordered structures. Susceptibility of prepared nanoparticles was measured by Susceptometer. The hysteresis loop of Y-PtFe3O4 nanoparticles was taken by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The asmade nanoparticles have coercivity below 100 Oe and are superparamagnetic in room temperature.
