Abstract

We show that sonochemistry is an efficient and facile route for quantitative coating of γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles with octadecyltrihydrosilane (OTHS, CH₃(CH₂)₁₇SiH₃). The presence of C-H stretching (2950-2850 cm^-1) (1475-1375 cm^-1) bands, and the absence of peaks at 2150 and 925 cm^-1 (Si-H stretching and bending respectively) confirm the presence of grafted hydrocarbon chains in the irradiated sample, hence the reaction of OTHS with γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles. The coated nanoparticles show increased magnetization compared to the uncoated ones. X-ray diffraction, magnetization studies, Mössbauer spectra, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra reveal that the magnetic ordering is more prominent in the OTHS-coated γ-Fe₂O₃ sample because of improved crystallinity.
