Scanning electron microscopy and EDX on magnetic nanoparticles

Scanning electron microscopy and EDX studies on magnetic nanoparticles is a good characterization tool before proceeding to magnetic fluid preparation. Scanning electron microscopy gives idea about the grain size. X-ray diffraction data and scanning electron microscopy data, if combined together, gives exact nature of grain structure and size distribution of the material. EDX studies can be used to confirm the elemental composition. Starting precursors for zinc ferrite magnetic fluid are zinc oxide, iron oxide, oleic acid and kerosene.
