Ohridski Blvd., Bulgaria,</p> <h3 >Abstract</h3> <p>Fe-Co-Cr-B(N,C,O,H) nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction in aqueous solutions of cobalt precursor complexes such as (ethylenediamine)dichloro cobalt chloride [Co(en)2.Cl2]Cl and aqua solutions of FeCl2.4H2O and CrCl3.6H2O with sodium borohydride as reducing agent. During the synthesis a reactor insuring hydrodynamic conditions of ideal mixing for solutions at a room temperature and atmospheric pressure was used. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transformation infra red spectroscopy (FT-IR) investigations of nanoparticles obtained were carried out. The influence of the applied d. c. magnetic field during the synthesis on their properties were established. It is visible that a d. c. magnetic field induces a chain arrangement of nanoparticles with higher hydroxide content, possessing higher coercive force and lower transmittance determined by FT-IR.</p> borohydride reduction FT-IR investigations magnetic nanoparticles TEM/SEM Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:23:15 +0100
