- ItemFacile, fast, and inexpensive synthesis of monodisperse amorphous Nickel-Phosphide nanoparticles of predefined size(Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011) Arzt, Eduard; Moh, Karsten; Cavelius, Christian; Mandel, Karl; Dillon, Frank; Koos, Antal A.; Aslam, Zabeada; Jurkschat, Kerstin; Cullen, Frank; Crossley, Alison; Bishop, Hugh; Grobert, NicoleMonodisperse, size-controlled Ni–P nanoparticles were synthesised in a single step process using triphenyl-phosphane (TPP), oleylamine (OA), and Ni(II)acetyl-acetonate. The nanoparticles were amorphous, contained 30 at% P and their size was controlled between 7–21 nm simply by varying the amount of TPP. They are catalytically active for tailored carbon nanotube growth.
- ItemReversible magnetism switching of iron oxide nanoparticle dispersions by controlled agglomeration(Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Müssig, Stephan; Kuttich, Björn; Fidler, Florian; Haddad, Daniel; Wintzheimer, Susanne; Kraus, Tobias; Mandel, KarlThe controlled agglomeration of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) was used to rapidly switch their magnetic properties. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and dynamic light scattering showed that tailored iron oxide nanoparticles with phase-changing organic ligand shells agglomerate at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C. We observed the concurrent change in magnetic properties using magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) with a temporal resolution on the order of seconds and found reversible switching of magnetic properties of SPIONs by changing their agglomeration state. The non-linear correlation between magnetization amplitude from MPS and agglomeration degree from SAXS data indicated that the agglomerates' size distribution affected magnetic properties.
