    Effect of Fe content on the structural and magnetic properties of ternary (Ni 60 Co 40 ) 100-x Fe x nanomaterials synthesized by hydrothermal route
    (World Scientific, 2024) Gaci, Yacine; Guittoum, Abderrahim; Hemmous, Messaoud; Martínez-Blanco, David; Gorria, Pedro; Blanco, Jesús A.; Aouaroun, Tahar
    The effect of iron content on the structure, morphology and magnetic properties of (Ni60Co40)100-xFex powders synthesized by hydrothermal method has been studied. Several samples have been elaborated for different Fe content (x = 0, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 13.5). The as- prepared samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM). From XRD spectra and for all Fe content, we have shown the presence of both face centered cubic (FCC) and Hexagonal (HCP) nanosized phases. The lattice parameter increases with increasing Fe content and the grains size varies with Fe content to reach a minimum value of 32 nm for (Co40Ni60)90Fe10. From hysteresis curves, we have extracted the saturation magnetization, Ms, and the coercivity, Hc. We noticed that Ms increases and then decreases as a function of Fe content. The values of Hc vary from 156 Oe to 186 Oe depending on the particles shape.

    Mössbauer Spectroscopy Analysis of FeCo Nano-Particles Alloy Synthesized by Hydrothermal Method
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2025) Halimi, Mohamed Walid; Guittoum, Abderrahim; Hemmous, Messaoud; Bouelkreb, Imane
    Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS), was used to characterize the synthesized materials prepared from the elemental powders by hydrothermal method which are binary iron-based nanoparticles (NPs) Fe15Co85 and Fe10Co90 alloys. The transmission 57Fe Mössbauer spectra were measured at room temperature RT (T~300K), using 57Co γ-ray source with an Activity ~ 1.85 GBq (50 mCi). The analysis of Mössbauer spectra curves was by using WinNormos with two subspectra with the “Site” option and then with the “Dist” option in order to learn more about hyperfine interactions and parameters such as isomer shifts IS, quadruple splitting QS and hyperfine magnetic field Bhf. MS results observe only one Zeeman sextet with a relative area of ~77.125% with parameter Bhf = 32.727 T and line width Γ=0.693 mm/s for Fe10Co90, and a relative area of ~84.719% with parameter Bhf = 34.354 T and line width Γ=1.043 mm/s for Fe15Co85 and one broad singlet which confirms the body-centered cubic structure BCC. The main contribution to the spectra comes from the magnetic sextet which is assigned to ferromagnetic FeCo phase which is the dominant one while the singlet is assigned to paramagnetic phase. As a result of the analysis of the distributions hyperfine magnetic field the average values of the hyperfine parameters of the Mössbauer spectra were obtained Fe10Co90 = 28.3363 T and Fe15Co85 = 31.4657 T. Therefore, it is observed that the increasing of the cobalt concentration decreases the hyperfine field. The results observe indicates Co concentration dependence, where for Co-rich alloys (Fe10Co90) the FCC (face-centered cubic structure) contributing to the decrease in Bhf due to the absence of BCC. the obtained NPs most likely to be in disordered structure A2

    Structural, morphological, and magnetic properties of electrodeposited coNi thin films on the FTO substrate
    (Springer, 2022) Boulegane, Ala; Guittoum, Abderrahim; Laggoun, Ali; Boudissa, Mokhtar; Hemmous, Messaoud
    CoNi films were elaborated by electrodeposition onto FTO substrates using a chloride bath with a metallic ion molar ratio [Co2+]/[Ni2+] equals 1/1. Three samples were elaborated for different potentials ranging from −1.6 to −1.5 V. The structure and the morphology of CoNi films were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The chemical compositions are obtained using energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and the magnetic properties were studied using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). From X-ray diffraction, we have shown the presence of the FCC phase of CoNi binary alloy with a well-pronounced texture along the < 111 > , < 200 > , and < 220 > planes for all samples. We have found that the applied potential has an influence on crystallite sizes. Besides, a moderate change in the lattice parameter has been observed with increasing applied potential. The AFM images show that the applied potential changes the morphology and the surface roughness of CoNi films. In addition, the SEM images confirm the granular morphology of CoNi deposits and show a good relationship between voltage and grain size. The EDX spectrums confirm the deposition of the cobalt and the nickel on the FTO substrate and show the precedence deposition of Co compared with Ni. The extracted coercive field Hc and squareness from the hysteresis loops explained the good correlation between the magnetic and structural properties of CoNi thin films
