✦ Synopsis
We report synthesis of α-Fe 2 O 3 (hematite) nanorods by reverse micelles method using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant and calcined at 300 °C. The calcined α-Fe 2 O 3 nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The result showed that the α-Fe 2 O 3 nanorods were hexagonal structure. The nanorods have diameter of 30-50 nm and length of 120-150 nm. The weak ferromagnetic behavior was observed with saturation magnetization = 0.6 emu/g, coercive force = 25 Oe and remanant magnetization = 0.03 emu/g.
