As. Golub et al., NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS CONSISTING OF ALTERNATING LAYERS OF MOLYBDENUM-DISULFIDE AND COBALT OR NICKEL HYDROXIDES - MAGNETIC CHARACTERIZATION, Solid state communications, 102(5), 1997, pp. 419-423
Magnetization measurements were performed from 5 to 300 K on nanocompo
site compounds obtained by precipitation of MoS2 single-layer dispersi
on in the presence of Co2+ or Ni2+ ions. Ni(II) and high spin Co(II) w
ere evidenced, both in octahedral oxygen surrounding. From similarity
of their temperature magnetic behavior with that of lamellar reference
s Ni(OH)(2) and beta-Co(OH)(2) powders, it can be inferred that the na
nocomposites contain 2D nickel or cobalt hydroxide species. The low te
mperature magnetic behavior is discussed on the basis of dimensionalit
y and finite particle size effects. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
