Abstract

An effective and speedy environmentally friendly method of ultrasonic irradiation was developed to synthesize highly crystalline monodisperse magnetite nanocubes with uniform particle size. To synthesize magnetite nanocubes, a cost-effective and non-toxic metal salt (FeSO₄.7H₂O) was used as reactant. The study examined the impact of sonication times (30, 45, 75, and 105 min) on particle size and morphology to determine the optimal duration and also compared significant properties of the Fe₃O₄ NPs in details. XRD confirmed the cubic spinel structure of magnetite. FTIR elucidated surface absorption characteristics, and UV-spectroscopy determined electronic transitions and indicated a minimum absorption wavelength of 224 nm. EDX provided elemental composition information, while TEM showed that the nanoparticles were most uniform and cubic at 75 min. The size of the Fe₃O₄ NPs was controlled in the range from 42.13 to 74.87 nm based on the different time periods used in this synthesis process. The magnetization value was found to be particle size dependent which was studied by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). A high magnetization value of 48.99 emu/g was obtained for the Fe₃O₄ NPs sample sonicated for 75 min. The integration of these techniques, along with particle size analysis, enabled a comprehensive understanding of the synthesized nanoparticles and considered them as prospective materials for several applications.

期刊介绍： Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of solids and other condensed systems and also on their preparation. The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged. A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental data. Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Solid State Communications now also welcomes original research articles without length restrictions. The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
