Large magnetic anisotropy in Ferrihydrite nanoparticles synthesized from reverse micelles

E. L. Duarte, R. Itri, E. Lima +3

Six-line ferrihydrite(FH) nanoparticles have been synthesized in the core of reverse micelles, used as nanoreactors to obtain average particle sizes $<d>$ $\approx$ 2 to 4 nm. The…
