Fabrication and characterization of morphology-tuned single-crystal monodisperse Fe3O4 nanocrystals
Monodisperse Fe3O4 nanocrystals with different size and morphology have been successfully fabricated by a facile high temperature reflow method. The presented materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope (TEM), selection area electron diffraction (SAED) and magnetic property measurement system (MPMS). The results showed that the as-prepared materials have face-centered cubic structures. Oleic acid plays a key role in the dispersion of Fe3O4 nanocrystals. The cubic and octahedral nanocrystals are enclosed by {100} and {111} lattice planes. The MPMS measurements show that magnetic properties are closely related to the sizes of the materials, and there is a stronger dipolar interaction between Fe3O4 nanocrystals with larger sizes. The controllable magnetic property and good dispersion endow the as-synthesized materials with great potential applications in magnetic fluid fields including sealing, medical equipment, mineral processing and other aspects.
