Structural Properties of the Nanocrystallized Magnetite of Different Syntheses

Abstract

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with electronic diffraction and X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to study structural features of nanosized magnetite Fe3O4, which was synthesized using polymeric matrices (polysaccharide chitosan, at alias). From the received data it was revealed that growth inhibition and size stabilization of Fe3O4 nanoparticles were strongly affected by polysaccharide matrix. It was also observed that directional size decrease of Fe3O4 nanoparticles was accompanied by the increasing defectiveness of crystal lattice and decreasing unit cell size. The effectiveness of complementary use of both TEM with electronic diffraction and XRD techniques for structural and substructural parameters determination while studying magnetite nanosized particles synthesized in polysaccharide matrices is shown in this paper.
