I–V behavior of transition metal oxides′ nanoparticles confined in ion tracks
Source abstract
Abstract
Behavior of transition metal oxide (TMO) nanoparticles (Fe3O4, NiO, Co3O4, and Mn3O4) inserted in ion tracks has been studied in the presence of magnetic field. The special structure of ion tracks in dielectric layer on semiconductors is known as TEMPOS—‘Tunable Electronic Materials with Pores in Oxide on Silicon’. TEMPOS structure offers a high surface to volume ratio resulting in fast response time and high sensitivity of sensors fabricated by inserting suitable materials in the ion tracks. We have already reported the behavior of ferrofluids (aqueous and non-aqueous) inserted in the TEMPOS structures and its feasibility as earth’s magnetic field sensor. In continuation to this study, a comparative study between different transition metal oxides inserted in the ion tracks is being presented here with an aim to understand their response in confined geometry. This study shows that Fe3O4 (ferrofluid) is the best choice for ion track-based magnetic field sensor as compared to NiO, Co3O4, and Mn3O4. Its response to magnetic field can be tailored by the dilution of the ferrofluid and annealing.
