Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles

The properties of Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles have been widely studied to investigate the influence of size, crystal lattice defects and surface effects. Varying the particle size of NiO leads to novel and interesting magnetic properties that range from nanosized to bulk-like behavior Moreover, there is growing interest for the use of Nickel oxide nanoparticles in various applications. The dielectric constant of NiO nanoparticles are high at low frequencies that decrease rapidly with the applied frequency at all temperatures. The high value of the dielectric constant may be attributed due to the increased ion jump orientation effect and the increased space charge effect exhibited by nanoparticles.
