Magnetic ferrites such as Fe3O4 and Fe2O3 are extensively used in a range of applications because they inexpensive chemically stable. Here we show that rhodium-substituted ε-Fe2O3, ε-RhxFe2−xO3 nanomagnets prepared by nanoscale chemical synthesis using mesoporous silica template, exhibit huge coercive field (Hc) 27 kOe at room temperature.

Abstract Iron(III) oxide shows a polymorphism, characteristic of existence phases with the same chemical composition but distinct crystal structures and, hence, physical properties. Four crystalline iron(III) have previously been identified: α-Fe 2 O 3 (hematite), β-Fe , γ-Fe (maghemite) and ε-Fe . All four easily undergo various phase transformations in response to heating or pressure treatment, usually forming hexagonal which is most thermodynamically stable Fe polymorph under ambient...
