Abstract

Delafossite oxides are expected to be widely used in future applications, such as dilute magnetic semiconductors and multiferroic materials. AgFe1-xCoxO2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation from silver nitrate, iron (III) nitrate, cobalt (II) nitrate, and sodium hydroxide. The resulting samples had approximately 10 nm diameter, determined by X-ray powder diffraction and TEM imaging. X-ray absorption fine structure and X-ray absorption near edge structure spectra of the samples indicated that the lattice constant axis decreased with increasing Co ion doping, and Fe and Co ions mainly occurred as trivalent Fe3+ and Co3+. Measurement of the magnetic properties by a SQUID magnetometer showed a gradual shift in the magnetic transition temperature (TN1) from 14.4 to 11.2 K with increasing Co ion doping.
