Synthesis Of Magnetite Magnetic Nanoparticles And Measurement Of Magneto-Optical Effects

In the present study, magnetite (Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were prepared by an improved chemical co-precipitation method. The effects of the pH value of the solution after titration, the reaction temperature in surface coating, and the molar concentration of Fe3+/Fe2+ salts in dispersibility and size of MNPs are studied. Characterization of the dispersibility and size in MNPs involved using transmission electronic microscope and X-ray diffractometry. Above all, the measurement of magneto-optical effect including the linear birefringence and dichroism of magnetic fluid are executed by a Stokes polarimeter.
