Příprava a charakterizace nanokompozitů oxidu železitého substituovaného skandiem

Tato práce je zaměřena na přípravu a charakterizaci nanočástic oxidu železitého substituovaného skandiem v matrici SiO2. Nanočástice byly připraveny metodou sol-gel a výsledkem byl převážně β-Fe2O3 substituovaný různým obsahem skandia. Nanokompozity byly charakterizovány pomocí Mossbauerovy spektroskopie a magnetických měření a z výsledků práškové rentgenové difrakce byly vypočteny mřížkové parametry a velikost částic β-fáze substituované různým množstvím skan- dia. β-Fe2O3 v daných systémech vzniká žíháním při teplotě 1000 ◦ C a 1100 ◦ C při složení Fe2−xScxO3 když x ≥ 0.2 a při žíhání na 1100 ◦ C když x = 0.1. Mřížkový parametr substituované β-fáze je lineárně závislý na obsahu skandia a mění se rovněž s teplotou. Při žíhání na 1250 ◦ C se takto připravený β-Fe2O3 mění na hematit.

The nanoparticles were prepared by the sol-gel method yielding mostly β-Fe2O3 substituted with various amount of scandium(III) ions. Mossbauer spectroscopy was carried out to determine purity of the samples and the content of other iron oxides phases. System was characterized by magnetic measurements. Powder X - ray diffraction was used to verify the composition and to determine the lattice parameter and particle size. β-Fe2O3 is formed at the temperatures of 1000 and 1100 ◦ C at composition Fe2−xScxO3 for x ≥ 0.2 and at temperature 1100 ◦ C for x = 0.1. Lattice parameter is linearly dependent on the scandium content and depends also on the annealing temperature. At temperatures higher than 1250 ◦ C, β-Fe2O3 is transformed into hematite.
