Abstract

The mechanism and conditions for the phase transformations from α-Fe2O3 to Fe3O4 and Fe3O4 to γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles have been investigated by the thermal analysis method. The morphologies and structures of various nanoparticles after annealing in H2 : Ar at 294 °C and in an O2 atmosphere at 302 °C have been examined and characterized. Finally, we confirmed that the monodisperse, porous and magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles could be obtained by annealing the α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles synthesized by the hydrothermal route.
