The stabilization dynamics of gamma-Fe inside carbon nanotubes films were investigated. It was found that slow cooling resulted in a maximum relative abundance of 26% of γ-Fe, while rapid cooling enhanced the relative abundance to 30%. The coercive field value was found to depend on both cooling and flow rate parameters. Magnetometry characterization confirmed the existence of magnetic coupling within the encapsulated nanocrystals.
The stabilization of gamma-Fe inside carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and its magnetic-coupling with alpha-Fe or Fe3C has attracted a great interest for the possible control of the hysteresis-loss processes in magnetic hyperthermia. Being interested in exploring further the stabilization-dynamics of this phase (gamma-Fe), we have performed novel investigations on the fabrication and manipulation of filled CNTs films (buckypapers) with major focus on the effects of vapour-flow- and cooling-rate synthesis-parameters. X-ray diffractograms (XRD) and Rietveld refinements evidence an unusual stabilization of.-Fe upon cooling, with a maximum relative abundance of 26 % after a slow-cooling step of 30 min. In-situ post-growth manipulation of the CNT-structure, in presence of tris (tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)-gadolinium (III), allows for a particularly efficient functionalization of the CNT-walls, with in-situ surface-deposition of an amorphous Gd-phase. The rapid-cooling approach employed in the post-growth Gd-functionalization-step is found to have beneficial effects on the gamma-Fe stabilization, with an enhanced relative abundance of 30 %, as extracted from Rietveld refinements. Extended characterization through magnetometry, evidence a dependence of the coercive-field value on both cooling and flow-rate parameters. The reported dataset confirms the existence of a magnetic-coupling within the encapsulated nanocrystals, with the unit-cell-volume being in the order of 45.9 angstrom(3).
