Abstract

Iron (Fe) nanoparticles were embedded in Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) film using ion beam sputtering (IBS) technique. The GIXRD pattern of the as-prepared PMMA/Fe nanocomposite film showed the presence of Fe in metallic state with BCC phase in the nanocomposite. The MOKE magnetometer record reveals the ferromagnetic nature of such nanocomposite. AFM study shows evenly dispersed Fe nanoparticles. The UV-VIS spectroscopic studies showed that on incorporation of Fe nanoparticles, the % transmission decreased drastically, band gap got reduced but the refractive index, dielectric constant and optical conductivity increased. The results are described in the paper.
