Front Cover: Controlling the Sulfidation Process of Iron Nanoparticles: Accessing Iron−Iron Sulfide Core‐Shell Structures (ChemNanoMat 7/2018)

Surface sulfidation of iron nanoparticles with hydrogen sulfide yields structurally well-defined core–shell systems exhibiting an iron core and an iron sulfide shell. According to Mößbauer studies the shell′s chemical composition is best described as a mixture of Fe1-X S, Fe2S2, and Fe7S8. Magnetic measurements reveal the partially preserved ferromagnetic character of the core–shell particles, which is also reflected in substantial magnetic heating properties of the material.
