β¦ Synopsis
Cobalt-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method. The associated structural, optical, compositional and magnetic properties of the nanoparticles as a function of cobalt concentration have been systematically studied. The X-ray powder diffraction reveals that all samples have pure anatase phase tetragonal system and the lattice parameter analysis indicated that Co ions may substitute into the lattice of TiO 2 . The average particle size is 15 nm, when found through transmission electron microscope. Optical spectroscopy measurement showed that the bandgap value decreases upon increasing Co concentration. The magnetic measurements revealed that the enhanced room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) strongly depends on the doping content.

## Abstract The formation of nanocrystalline TiO~2~ particles has been investigated via a surfactantβfree synthetic nonβhydrothermal method. Titanium isopropoxide and toluene were used as the starting materials. At a low temperature of 250 Β°C for 6 h, the reaction mixture turned in to a white preci
We present a comprehensive analysis of the Raman spectra of pure and zirconium-doped anatase TiO 2 nanoparticles.
