Abstract

Magnetite Nanocrystals (Fe₃O₄) have been synthesized by thermal decomposition synthesis method using Fe(acac)₃ and Tri-Octylamine and Oleic acid at a low temperature of 250 °C compared to other methods. The phase formation for the obtained product was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the morphology was analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). XRD patterns reveal the formation of Magentite (Fe₃O₄) structure in single phase with good crystallinity and TEM pictures shows the formation of mono disperse cubical particles and the size of the particles was found to be around 15 nm which is in accordance with d_xrd. The concentration of oleic acid was varied and to study the morphological changes.
