Abstract

Magnetic properties of polyaniline (PANI) doped with FeCl3 were investigated as a function of temperature and magnetic field. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility (χ) of PANI doped with FeCl3 exhibits dominant paramagnetic component (well described by Curie–Weiss law with a negative Curie–Weiss temperature Θ) accompanied by a small temperature-independent paramagnetic contribution. Magnetization measured as the function of magnetic field shows smaller saturation effect than expected for non-interacting iron ions. These two observations suggest weak antiferromagnetic (AF) interactions between Fe ions.
