摘要:

在CeO 2、Al 2 O3、ZnO、In 2 O3和SnO 2等非磁性氧化物的纳米颗粒(直径7 - 30 nm)中观察到了室温铁磁性。CeO_2和Al_2O_3纳米颗粒的饱和磁矩与过渡金属掺杂的宽带半导体氧化物的饱和磁矩相当。其他氧化物纳米颗粒显示出稍低的磁化强度值,但具有明显的滞后行为。相反,通过在空气或氧气中高温烧结纳米颗粒获得的大块样品变得抗磁性。由于没有磁性杂质存在,我们假设铁磁性的起源可能是由于在纳米颗粒表面的氧空位导致的局部电子自旋矩之间的交换相互作用。我们认为铁磁性可能是金属氧化物纳米颗粒的普遍特征

英文摘要:

Room-temperature ferromagnetism has been observed in the nanoparticles (7 - 30 nm dia) of nonmagnetic oxides such as CeO2, Al2O3, ZnO, In2O3 and SnO2. The saturated magnetic moments in CeO_2 and Al_2O_3 nanoparticles are comparable to those observed in transition metal doped wide band semiconducting oxides. The other oxide nanoparticles show somewhat lower values of magnetization but with a clear hysteretic behavior. Conversely, the bulk samples obtained by sintering the nanoparticles at high temperatures in air or oxygen became diamagnetic. As there were no magnetic impurities present, we assume that the origin of ferromagnetism may be due to the exchange interactions between localized electron spin moments resulting from oxygen vacancies at the surfaces of nanoparticles. We suggest that ferromagnetism may be a universal characteristic of nanopartilces of metal oxides
