Magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites with spinel structure, their preparation and characterization
Holec, Petr ; Nižňanský, Daniel (advisor) ; Šubrt, Jan (referee) ; Sedmidubský, David (referee)
This work presents the preparation and physical properties of spinel nanoparticles and nanocomposites. All nanocomposites in diamagnetic matrix like chromites CoCr2O4, CuCr2O4, NiCr2O4, ZnCr2O4 and ferrite MgFe2O4 were prepared using sol-gel method. On the other hand, isolated nanoparticles such as MgCr2O4, MnCr2O4, CuCr2O4, NiCr2O4, and FeCr2O4, were prepared using autocombustion a co-precipitation methods. CoFe2O4 and MgFe2O4 were prepared by microemulsion alkoxide method. This microemulsion method was used for the spinel nanoparticles preparation for the first time. This work describes the influence of heat treatment temperature on the final particle size and influence of particle size on physical properties of material. The study of the influence of twovalent cationt in the spinel structure on the magnetic properties of chromites was also carried out. The final samples were characterized by XRD powder diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and HRTEM. The dependence of magnetization on applied magnetic field at constant temperature and ZFC (zero-field cooling) - FC (field cooling) measurement was carried out on the prepared sample.

Magnetic resonance imaging with multimodal T2 contrast agents based on fluorescence-labelled magnetic cores with the spinel structure
Kikerlová, Soňa ; Kaman, Ondřej (advisor) ; Nižňanský, Daniel (referee)
This diploma thesis was focused on the preparation of magnetic and fluorescently labelled spinel type nanoparticles, specifically nanoparticles of zinc-doped cobalt ferrite intended for application in magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence microscopy in experimental practice. In previous studies, various ferrite nanoparticles exhibited relatively high transverse relaxation times and strong negative T2 contrast. These properties were also supposed for the zinc-doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. This assumption was confirmed by studying their magnetic and contrasting properties. Fluorescence properties of the prepared nanoparticles were also successfully studied. With respect to the intended applications of these particles, the issue of suitable surface modification of magnetic cores, their colloidal stabilization in an aqueous suspension and toxicity in biological systems were studied. Key words: nanoparticles, ferrites, MRI, relaxation

Preparation of spheroidized and nano-structural spinels by the SPPS method
Brožek, Vlastimil ; Lukáč, František ; Medřický, Jan ; Mušálek, Radek ; Mašláni, Alan ; Mastný, L. ; Brodil, R.
Solution Precursor Plasma Spraying (SPPS) method, using hybrid water-stabilised plasma torch (WSP®-H), is presented in this study. Precursor, in a form of a solution of inorganic salts, is injected into the plasma jet, where the temperature can reach up to 25 000 K and a series of reactions lead to the formation of spherical sub-micrometric sized particles. The complete process of evaporating the liquid, crystallization, thermic decomposition, melting and recrystallization takes place in few milliseconds before the particles solidify. Melted nanoparticles can be either directly collected in order to obtain ultrafine powders or deposited onto a substrate to form micro-splats and continuous polycrystalline, and often partially amorphous, coatings. The possibility of continuous and discontinuous changes of stoichiometric composition in tetrahedral and octahedral configurations were analysed for the deposits of MgAl2O4, CoAl2O4 and CoFe2O4 spinels. Furthermore, thin colourful coatings of ruby and modified cobalt oxides were deposited onto ceramic and metallic substrates.
