@misc{10498/35262, year = {2015}, month = {2}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10498/35262}, abstract = {Spherical zinc particles ranging from 42 to 760 nm in average size and capped with plate-like zinc oxide particles of 10–30 nm in sizes have been prepared by levitation-jet aerosol synthesis through condensation of zinc vapor in an inert/oxidizer gas flow. The nanoparticles have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET measurements, ultra violet visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray electron spectroscopy (XPS), superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), and vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM). Magnetic and XRD data indicate that the observed ferromagnetic ordering related to the changes in unit-cell volume of Zn in the Zn/ZnO interface of the nanoparticles. These results are in good correlation with the optical measurements data.}, keywords = {Zn}, keywords = {ZnO}, keywords = {nanoparticles}, title = {Structural, optical, XPS and magnetic properties of Zn particles capped by ZnO nanoparticles}, doi = {10.1016/j.jallcom.2015.01.285}, author = {Belousova, Olga V. and Ortega Ponce, Daniel and Mafina, M.
