Influence of temperature on the magnetic properties of Mn3O4 nanowires

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Single crystalline Mn3O4 nanowires have been synthesized with tetragonal hausmannite structure using a solvothermal method. The structural and morphological evolution of Mn3O4 nanowires have been characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and electron resonance spectroscopy. The nanowires were grown uniformly along the (200) direction with a diameter of 5–10 nm range. A relatively broad and intense electron spin resonance (ESR) signal was observed at room temperature, with the g ≈ 2.0. As the synthesis temperature increases from 150 to 250 °C, a decrease in ESR signal intensity and line widths were observed. Mn3O4 displayed a positive Curie-Weiss temperature, θ, which decreases with the increase of synthesis temperature.
