We describe the results of 532 nm
pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) of two samples of magnetite nanoparticles
(SPIONs) nanoferrofluid synthesized at room (S1) and elevated temperatures (S2)
and at three different laser energy levels and pulse frequency. The size of
magnetite nanoparticles, size distribution, magnetic crystalline phase and
magnetization were analyzed and measured
using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) and vibrating sample
magnetometry (VSM). The SPIONs showed a distribution between 4-22 nm with a peak about 12 nm and saturation
magnetization of about 65 emu/g. The Saha-Boltzmann analysis of spectra
for medium energy level (1050 mJ) yields plasma temperatures of (3881 ± 200) K
and (26,047 ± 200) K for Fe I and OV as the lowest and highest temperatures
respectively. A range of corresponding electron density (Ne-) of
(0.47-6.80) × 1020, (0.58-8.30) × 1020 and (0.69-9.96) × 1020 cm-3
