Synthesis and characterization of γ-Fe2O3 NPs on silicon substrate for power device application

Maghemite nanoparticles (γ-Fe 2 O 3 NPs) were synthesized using Massart procedure. The formation reaction were optimized by varying the concentration of ferric nitrate solution (Fe(NO 3 ) 3 ) (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0 M). All samples were characterized by means of x-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Raman...
