Distinguishing the core from the shell in MnOx/MnOy and FeOx/MnOx core/shell nanoparticles through quantitative electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) analysis
چکیده انگلیسی

The structural and chemical characterization of inverted bi-magnetic MnOx(antiferromagnetic)/MnOy(ferrimagnetic) and FeOx(soft-ferrimagnetic)/MnOx(hard-ferrimagnetic) core/shell nanoparticles has been carried out by means of scanning transmission electron microscopy with electron energy loss spectroscopy analysis, (S)TEM-EELS. Quantitative EELS was applied to assess the local composition of the nanoparticles by evaluating the local Mn oxidation state based on the Mn L3/L2 peak intensity ratio and the Mn L3 peak onset. The analysis allows to unambiguously distinguish the core from the shell and to determine the nature of the involved manganese oxides in both cases. The results evidence that the structure of the nanoparticles is, in fact, more complex than the one designed by the synthesis parameters.


► MnOx/MnOy and FeOx/MnOy nanoparticles are synthesized.
► Novelty of AFM-core, FiM-shell nanoparticles.
► Quantitative EELS allows to determine the local composition.
► EELS is also used to assess the local Mn oxidation state in the nanoparticles.
