Synthesis and investigation of small g-values for smart spinel ferrite nanoparticles

Abstract

Smart spinel and hexagonal ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) have been fabricated by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) assisted hydrothermal route by using NaOH solution. Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements of the spinel and hexagonal ferrite NPs have been performed by a high sensitive conventional x˗band (~9.5–9.8 GHz) spectrometer at room temperature (RT). The measured five small g-values by ESR spectra at RT may be relevant for quantum information processing. Quantum computing and relativistic quantum computing by two-level system (qubit) have been realized by spinel type NPs at RT. Temperature evolution of magnetic hysteresis loops, magnetization, coercivity (HC), saturation field (HS), saturation magnetization (MS) and remanent magnetization (Mr) have been investigated.
