Metallic magnetic nanoparticles like Cobalt and Nickel are important for their applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology. In this work, we report on the synthesis and characterization of Ni and Co nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were prepared by the modi- ed sol-gel method and were formed in the pore-network of the biopolymer quitosan. The reduction occurred in absence of H2 ux. The metallic particles and their monoxides have a face-centered- cubic structure. The metallic particles sizes ranged from 59 to 77 nm and from 19 to 50 nm for Ni and Co, respectively. Their monoxides chemically passivated the metallic cores, and after several weeks we have not observed further increase in oxidation. The synthesis method was tuned to obtain mainly the ferromagnetic phase. The system behaves like a core/shell structure with a ferromagnetic core and an antiferromagnetic shell. Exchange bias e ect was observed at temperatures below the Néel temperature. Both systems were submitted to an alternated magnetic eld and the heat released by the particles increased the temperature to 140°C in an interval of 5 min. Similar studies in samples dispersed in water increased the temperatures to 40-59°C, these results suggest that these materials are candidates for magnetic hyperthermia.Acesso AbertoNanopartículasNíquelCobaltoMonóxidos e hipertermia magnéticamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::FISICA
