Mgf. Dasilva et Cb. Koch, INVESTIGATION OF THE NATURE OF IRON-OXIDE SPECIES PRESENT IN RUBY GLASSES PREPARED BY THE SOL-GEL METHOD, JOURNAL OF SOL-GEL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 8(1-3), 1997, pp. 311-314
Mossbauer spectroscopy in an external magnetic held, electron diffract
ion microscopy and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements were use
d in an attempt to characterize the iron oxide particles present in ru
by glasses prepared by the sol-gel method. The obtained results lead t
o the conclusion that particles are present as a ferromagnetic phase t
hat shows superparamagnetic behaviour.
