Abstract:
CoFe(2)O(4) nanotubes have been directly fabricated by single-capillary spinneret electrospinning. The external diameter of the CoFe(2)O(4) nanotubes ranges from 60 nm to 160 nm. The morphology and structure characterizations show that individual CoFe(2)O(4) nanotubes are made of CoFe(2)O(4) nanocrystals stacking along the nanotubes with no preferred growth directions and these individual nanocrystals are single crystal with a cubic spinel structure. Each nanocrystal was shown to be a single magnetic domain. The magnetic measurements show that the coercivity (H(c)) of the CoFe(2)O(4) nanotubes decreases from 10 400 Oe at 5 K to 300 Oe at 360 K. The CoFe(2)O(4) nanotubes have a spin reorientation (SR) at 5 K, which is different from CoFe(2)O(4) nanorods and nanoparticles. Based on the observed morphology and crystal structure, a micromagnetic model, "chain-of-rings", is developed to interpret the magnetic behavior of the CoFe(2)O(4) nanotubes. The theoretical coercivity (534 Oe) is in good agreement with the experimental results (509 Oe). It is believed that our work should open a new route to prepare various magnetic ferrite nanotubes and is significant for expanding the application of CoFe(2)O(4) into the new fields.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
