Description
Summary:Co-axially electrospun, magnetic Fe O @carbon (Fe O @C) nanofibers comprising Fe O particles in the core and carbon in the shell have been fabricated and their performances as magnetic material have been studied. The electrospun Fe O @C nanofibers have been characterized with X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer. The structural and microstructural analysis has given a brief idea about the pure Fe O and C phase formation and also the existence of smooth and continuous morphology of Fe O @C nanofibers. It has been shown that there exist two different oxidation states of Fe in the XPS spectrum. The magnetization hysteresis loop has been observed at low temperatures (5 K, 100 K) as well as at room temperature (300 K) which gives different magnetic parameters. Temperature dependent magnetic measurements (from 5 K to 300 K) suggest the existence of Verwey transition for lower percentage of iron oxide content.
