  • Abstract
    The magnetic properties of sol-gel derived Eu3+-doped organic/inorganic hybrid nanocomposites were studied. These hybrids consist of poly(oxyethylene)-based chains of variable length grafted onto siloxane nanodomains by urea cross-linkages. Results are presented for two chain length series, for which the local environment of Eu3+ ions and the urea-urea interactions induce distinct magnetic behaviors. For high Eu3+ content strong thermal irreversibility effects are found, due to the presence of Eu3+ magnetic interactions in the nanodomains
