S. Taketomi et al., TRANSPARENT MAGNETIC FLUID - PREPARATION OF YIG ULTRAFINE PARTICLES, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 122(1-3), 1993, pp. 6-9
In order to prepare transparent magnetic fluid, yttrium iron garnet ul
trafine particles ranging in size from 10 through 30 nm are synthesize
d by hydrolysis of metal alkoxides. Differential thermal analysis, X-r
ay diffraction analysis, electron micrography and magnetization measur
ements are carried out on these particles to investigate the calcinati
on condition and particle sizes.
