One-step synthesis of Mn3O4 nanoparticles : Structural and magnetic study

One-step room-temperature synthesis of nanocrystalline Mn3O4 hausmannite, without heating posttreatment, was carried out from a simple dissolution of manganese(II) acetate in a mixture of N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF) and water. Homogeneous nanocrystals like rods were obtained, with an average w...

Description
Summary:	One-step room-temperature synthesis of nanocrystalline Mn3O4 hausmannite, without heating posttreatment, was carried out from a simple dissolution of manganese(II) acetate in a mixture of N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF) and water. Homogeneous nanocrystals like rods were obtained, with an average width and length of 6.6+/-1.2 nm and 17.4+/-4.1 nm, respectively, and a preferential growth along the 001 direction. Magnetization measurements on a powdered sample showed ferrimagnetic behavior at low temperatures. Under zero-field cooling (ZFC) measurement at 100 Oe, the observed blocking temperature (T(B)) was 37 K.
