The effect of swift heavy ion irradiation on sol–gel-prepared maghemite nanoparticles was studied by 57Fe transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The room temperature Mössbauer spectra of the non-irradiated nano-maghemite showed poorly resolved magnetically split, typical relaxation spectra due to the superparamagnetic state of the nanoparticles. Significant changes in the line shape, indicating changes in the superparamagnetic state, were found in the Mössbauer spectra upon irradiation by 160 MeV and 155 MeV 132Xe26+ ions with fluences of 5 × 1013 ion cm−2 and 1 × 1014 ion cm−2. XRD of the irradiated maghemite nanoparticles showed a significant broadening of the corresponding lines, indicating a decrease in the crystallite size, compared to those of the non-irradiated ones. The results are discussed in terms of the defects induced by irradiation and the corresponding changes related to the change in particle size and consequently in the superparamagnetic state caused by irradiation. |
