ABSTRACT
Highly crystalline CoFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles with different diameters ranging from 2.4 to 6.1 nm have been synthesized by forced hydrolysis in polyol. The size can be controlled through adjusting the nominal water/metal molar ratio. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray absorption spectroscopy and (57)Fe Mössbauer spectrometry were employed to investigate the structure and the microstructure of the particles produced. Magnetic measurements performed on these particles show that they are superparamagnetic with a size-dependent blocking temperature. At 5 K, high saturation magnetization (~85 emu g(-1)) approaching that of the bulk was found for the larger particles, whereas a very large coercivity (14.5 kOe) is observed for the 3.5 nm sized particles.
