This confirms that the synthesized particles exhibit super paramagnetic properties at room temperature. This is due to the magnetite nanoparticles exhibit super paramagnetic properties when they are smaller than the critical size of the magnetic domain size []. The saturated magnetization values of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles obtained at magnetic field of 1.
Several explanations have been provided on the decrease of the saturation magnetization with the reduction of the particle size of magnetite. One factor concerns the entity of the spin disorder layer, which increases with a decrease in crystallite size. Another factor for the reduction of the magnetic moment can be also explained through the effect of a dipolar interaction between magnetite nanoparticles.
The irregular morphology of magnetite particles might influence the value of saturation magnetization as a contribution from surface anisotropy.
As all the synthesized samples are almost spherical in shape, a zero contribution from surface anisotropy must be expected. A further reduction of Ms could be attributed to incomplete crystallization of magnetite after the reaction synthesis. The decrease in the saturation magnetization can be also due to changes in A and B site population [].
Figure 3 shows that hysteresis disappeared with a little retentivity of This means the prepared magnetite readily displayed magnetization when subjected to a magnetic field. It was found that there was a small retentivity of One possible mechanism for this unique form is the independent thermal fluctuation of small ferromagnetic domains inside the particles.
The boundaries of the small crystallites within the particles may contain lattice defects that impede the propagation of the magnetic order. The values of retentivity and coercivity are shown almost zero. It was observed that the coercitivity Hc of the particles is near to zero within the experimental error. This value of Hc is within the broad range reported for nanostructured iron oxide nanoparticles.
A co-precipitation chemical synthesis route was used to produce magnetite nanoparticles redispersible in water. XRD showed the crystalline phase of iron oxide could correspond to face centered cubic magnetite Fe 3 O 4 crystal structure. Measure of magnetization as a function of the field showed a superparamagnetism behavior in material because there were small coercitivity for the hysteresis cycles.
The average diameter of the produced magnetite nanoparticles revealed to be ideal for in vitro studies and using in biological applications. The property of superparamagnetism determined by magnetometry allows the produced magnetite nanoparticles to be used in the monitoring and tracking by MRI technique, as well as in the Magneto Hyperthermia technique. We believe the synthesized magnetite nanoparticles have a potential for biomedical applications. Nonetheless, it is clear that both in vitro and in vivo studies are necessary to determine the applicability of this sample.
Various tissues that could be expected to image with the produced magnetite nanoparticles due to its small size of 30 nm such as arteries, veins, capillaries and lung sacs.

Withdrawal Guidlines. It consists of two antiferromagnetic sublattices formed by the layers of Fe1 and Fe2 ions located in the 4 c and 8 f positions with the bicapped trigonal prismatic and octahedral oxygen coordination with the same y coordinate and parallel orientation of the magnetic moments, which are stacked antiparallel along the b -axis. The overall ferrimagnetic character of this structure is caused by the different magnetic moments of Fe1 and Fe2 ions, as evidenced by the distinctive values of the relevant hyperfine magnetic fields in the SMS experiment.
In comparison, the magnetic structure of the initial spinel phase is much simpler and it consists of two ferromagnetic sublattices with antiparallel orientation of the Fe magnetic moments in the A and B sites. The magnetic unit cell coincides with the crystallographic one and the ordered magnetic moments are oriented along the c -axis.
The spin arrangement in the high pressure phase of magnetite. The directions of the magnetic moments of the Fe1 and Fe2 ions are shown. At the same time, the revealed decreasing trends in pressure behavior of isomer shifts and hyperfine magnetic fields Fig. Similar pressure-induced reduction of the ordered magnetic moment was recently also observed in the siderite FeCO 3 and underlying mechanism was evidenced by the ab-initio calculations The ab initio calculations have shown that in the post-spinel phase of magnetite the ground state energies corresponding to the ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic order have very close values differing by about 0.
This implies highly competitive character of magnetic interactions in this structure, leading to the formation of the complex spin arrangement observed experimentally Fig.
The structural, magnetic and electronic phase diagram of magnetite, constructed on the base of present data and previous studies 26 , 30 , 31 , is shown in Fig. Our evaluations of the spinel — post-spinel structural phase transition points in the studied pressure and temperature ranges are consistent with those obtained at lower pressures and high temperatures This reduction may be related to a decrease of the leading antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction strength between the A and B sublattices of iron ions via oxygen ions due to a significant reduction of the average value of the Fe A -O-Fe B bond angle from The structural, magnetic and electronic phase diagram of magnetite.
The phase boundary of the spinel — post-spinel structural phase transition is constructed using the present results red solid circles and data 30 red open circles. The hyperfine interaction parameters in the post-spinel phase are characterized by the substantially increased absolute values of the quadrupole splittings and reduced hyperfine magnetic fields, while variation of the isomer shifts is less pronounced.
The different response of highly correlated lattice, spin and charge degrees of freedom to combined variation of thermodynamic parameters pressure and temperature allowed to disentangle behavior of the structural and magnetic phase transitions temperatures and the spin crossover, enabling detailed insight into the phase diagram of magnetite. The characterization by the X-ray diffraction and Moessbauer spectroscopy methods confirmed the single phase material without any traces of other iron oxides.

The brief but extremely powerful electromagnetic field associated with lightning causes all the magnetic domains in the mineral to line up.
Normally these domains are jumbled up and cancel each other out, but when they are aligned the mineral is magnetised.
