The Ni concentration in the carbon matrix varied in the range of 0–12 wt %, the sizes of the average diameter of nanoparticles in different samples were from 4 to 40 nm. The paramagnetism of the surface and near-surface atoms of Ni nanoparticles, which is due to the charge transfer from the carbon matrix with the formation of Ni ions has been studied in detail. A method for determining the blocking temperature of superparamagnets in temperature measurements of the paramagnetic susceptibility in the case of high magnetic fields is considered. The magnetic characteristics, which reflect size effects in SQUID magnetometry and FMR, exhibit “anomalous” deviations in the range of ultrasmall particles. These are high values of the blocking temperature, high values of the coercive force, and the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth, as well as a significant shift of the effective g-factor in the FMR spectra. Generalizing equations are presented that include the contributions of the surface magnetic anisotropy along with the bulk magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which is consistent with the experimental results over the entire investigated range from 4 to 40 nm. It is shown that the parameters of the total magnetic resonance spectra (FMR + ESR) are caused by the ferromagnetism of the core of nickel nanoparticles and the paramagnetism of surface and near-surface Ni ions, as well as π-electrons of the organic matrix.

This study investigated the disparities between graphene oxide synthesized in an ammonia-acetone solution and graphene oxide synthesized in acetone using the exfoliation method. Raman spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and current-voltage characteristics analysis were employed to evaluate the samples. Raman spectroscopy analysis revealed distinct differences in the molecular composition and structural characteristics of the samples, as indicated by variations in the \"D,\" \"G,\" and \"2D\" peaks. FTIR spectroscopy identified various functional groups in both samples, with changes attributed to the presence of ammonium in one sample. Furthermore, the current-voltage characteristics analysis was conducted to assess the electrical properties of the graphene films. Results of the current-voltage characteristics analysis showed that the conductivity of the membranes obtained in an acetone medium was approximately an order of magnitude higher than that of the membranes obtained in an ammonia medium. This discrepancy suggests that the exfoliation in an acetone medium resulted in stronger doping of the graphene layers compared to the exfoliation in an ammonia solution. The linearity observed in the current-voltage characteristics can be attributed to the presence of a significant number of free electrons in the conduction band of the samples due to doping. These findings provide valuable insights into the structural, compositional, and electrical properties of graphene oxide synthesized using different methods and precursor solutions. Understanding these disparities is crucial for tailoring graphene-based materials to specific applications.","PeriodicalId":623,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary Physics (Armenian Academy of Sciences)","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83169438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
