Amorphous Fe2O3 nanoparticles of about 3-5 nm in size have been synthesized
by microwave irradiation heating of an aqueous solution, containing ferric
chloride, polyethylene glycol-2000 and urea. The Fe2O3 nanoparticles were
characterized by the techniques of TEM, XRD, DSC, TGA and magnetization mea
surements. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
