Tl. Templeton et al., MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF FE(CO) METAL PARTICLES PREPARED WITH EXFOLIATED MOS2 MONOLAYERS, Journal of applied physics, 73(10), 1993, pp. 6668-6670
Monomolecular layers of exfoliated MoS2 are incorporated in the proces
s of the formation of Co ferrite from aqueous solutions. The presence
Of MoS2 is found to limit the coalescence of particles during reductio
n to Fe(Co) metal. That MoS2 inhibits the full conversion to metal is
confirmed by Mossbauer effect spectroscopy. Magnetization measurements
are interpreted on the basis of noncollinear magnetization patterns r
esulting from competing surface anisotropies.
