| Abstract |
Rare-earth nanoparticles are generally harmless in the environment, and could be utilized as a tracer for circulation process of nature. The rare-earth nanoparticles can be identified (or analyzed) by gamma ray irradiation, as they are decomposed by the gamma ray irradiation to yield radioactive rare-earth isotopes, producing their own characteristic signals. Gamma-ray irradiation is known to be highly sensitive for analysis of samples of trace concentrations.
In this study, samarium oxide (Sm2O3) nanoparticles were synthesized by a sono-chemical method, and were analyzed using various techniques including asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF), dynamic light scattering (DLS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS).
AsFlFFF and DLS were used to determine the size distributions of the Sm2O3 particles. EDX and XRD were used to determine the chemical composition of nanoparticles. The presence of samarium was confirmed by the XRD and EDX results. The AsFlFFF and DLS results showed the Sm2O3 nanoparticles have sizes ranging about 20 ~ 30 nm. The Sm2O3 nanoparticles were fed to gold fish, then the concentration of the particles in various organs of the gold fish were analyzed using ICP-MS. |
