Abstract
γ-Fe2O3 nanocrystals capped with citrate and octylamine have been chemically prepared. The octylamine-capped nanocrystals exhibit a tendency to form ordered lattices. Films of nanocrystals of varying thickness (454, 720, and 1400 μg/cm2 in the case ofcitrate-capped nanocrystals and 300 μg/cm2 in the case of octylamine-capped nanocrystals) have been prepared on Si(100) substrates by drop casting and have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Magnetic measurementshave been carried out on the films as well as on nanocrystal powders. The films of citrate-capped γ-Fe2O3 nanocrystals exhibit enhanced perpendicular magnetization, with the anisotropy depending on the film thickness.
