Structural behavior of laser-irradiated γ-Fe2O3 nanocrystals dispersed in porous silica matrix : γ-Fe2O3 to α-Fe2O3 phase transition and formation of ε-Fe2O3

The effects of laser irradiation on γ-Fe2O3 4 ± 1 nm diameter maghemite nanocrystals synthesized by co-precipitation and dispersed into an amorphous silica matrix by sol-gel methods have been investigated as function of iron oxide mass fraction. The structural properties of γ-Fe2O3 phase were carefu...
