Nanocrystalline films of magnetite have been prepared by a novel sol-gel route in which, a solution of iron (III) nitrate dissolved in ethylene glycol was applied on glass substrates by spin coating. Coating solution showed Newtonian behaviour and viscosity was found as 0.0215 Pa.s. Annealing temperature was selected between 291 and 350 A degrees C by DTA analysis in order to obtain magnetite films. In-plane grazing angle XRD and TEM studies showed that magnetite phase was present upon annealing the films at 300 A degrees C. The films had crack free surfaces and their thicknesses varied between similar to 10 and 200 nm. UV-Vis spectrum results showed that transmittance of the films increases with decreasing annealing temperature and increasing spinning rate. Up to 96% transmittance was observed between the wavelengths of 900-1,100 nm. Vibrating sample magnetometer measurements indicated that magnetite thin films showed ferromagnetic behavior and the saturation magnetization value was found as similar to 35 emu/cm(3).

Characterization of magnetite thin films produced by sol-gel processing Eken, Ali Erdem; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008) Magnetite (Fe3O4) thin films were prepared by a sol-gel process in which, a solution of iron (III) nitrate dissolved in ethylene glycol was applied on glass substrates by spin coating. Xerogel films were obtained by drying the coated films at 110 °C. The films were sintered between 300 °C and 450 °C in order to observe the phases existing in the films at different temperatures. Coating solution showed Newtonian behaviour and viscosity was found as 0.0215 Pa.s. DTA analysis showed that, sintering temperature...
Characterization of iron oxide thin films prepared by sol-gel processing Karakuscu, Aylin; Ozenbas, Macit (American Scientific Publishers, 2008-02-01) Iron oxide thin films were prepared by spin-coating a gel solution of iron(III) nitrate dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol and acetylacetone on glass and quartz substrates. The film thickness was adjusted by changing the spinning rate of the spin coater, Annealing was carried out between 300 degrees C to 600 degrees C to investigate the phases present in the films. Viscosity of the main solution was found as 0.0035 Pa (.) s by viscosity measurement. TGA/DTA analyses showed that heat treatment should be done betw...
Preparation of nano-scale magnetite Fe3O4 and its effects on the bulk bi-2223 superconductors Ghazanfari, N.; Kılıç, Adnan; Oezcan, S.; Soezeri, H.; Oezkan, H.; Gencer, A. (2007-04-12) Nano-scale magnetite (Fe3O4) powders were prepared from metallic iron and distilled water by wet milling technique. Magnetite powders so obtained were added to Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Oy superconductor by 0.00 0.05, 0.10 and 0.30 wt (x), with solid state reaction method. The structural and superconducting properties were studied by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, magnetization and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Single-phase magnetite samples with average particle size about 25 nm were ob...
Structural and optoelectronic properties of sol-gel derived nickel oxide thin films Saraç, Büşra Ekim; Durucan, Caner; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) Nanocrystalline nickel (II) oxide (NiO) thin films were deposited on glass substrate by spin coating of sol-gel derived solutions. Thin film formation behavior and microstructural / physical properties of the films were investigated as a function of controllable processing parameters, such as thin film thickness and post deposition heat treatment (annealing temperature) in the range of 400 – 500 °C. Microstructural, morphological and optoelectronic properties of NiO films was examined by scanning electron m...
Preparation and characterization of ni-nitrilotriacetic acid bearing Poly(Methacrylic acid) coated superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles TURAL, Bilsen; KAYA, Murat; Özkan, Necati; Volkan, Mürvet (2008-02-01) Stable superparamagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation in the presence of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) in aqueous solution. The polymer coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) techniques. These measurements reveal the presence of magnetite nanoparticles with a size of approximately 8 nm inside...
