Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles have promising applications in many areas, for example optics, electron-ics, biology, medicine, etc. The primary goal of this study was to synthesize nanoparticles of magnetic ε-Fe2O3 embedded in amorphous SiO2.
The Mössbauer spectroscopy analysis of the samples was complemented by the study of X-ray powder diffraction, magnetic measurements, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The structure and properties of the final product have been found to depend strongly on the initial conditions of preparation.
