Abstract
TiO2 nanotubes with a diameter around ∼ 550 nm have been prepared by electrospinning method. The synthesized nanotubes were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The XRD and Raman results indicate that TiO2 nanotubes have mixed of anatase and rutile structure. Magnetization measurements indicate that TiO2 nanotubes exhibit room temperature ferromagnetism with remanent magnetization (Mr) and coercivity (HC) of about 46 Oe and 0.0018 emu/g, respectively, which may results due to the presence of defects in the TiO2 nanotubes. The field cooled (FC) and zero field cooled (ZFC) magnetization curves indicate that there is no contamination of ferromagnetic cluster and the Curie temperature TC is above 350 K.
