The optical properties of multi-functionalized cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4), cobalt zinc ferrite (Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4), and zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles have been enhanced by coating them with silica shell using a modified Stöber method. The ferrites nanoparticles were prepared by a modified citrate gel technique. These core/shell ferrites nanoparticles have been fired at temperatures: 400°C, 6...

Nano-particles of polycrystalline Zn Fe2 O4 are prepared using sol-gel method with Ni, and Sm. They are obtained as dried gel after the successful chemical reaction of their respective metal nitrate solutions in the midst of citric acid as catalyst. Synthesis of materials is confirmed using XRD from the report of single phase polycrystalline ferrite material. The magnetic properties of Zn-ferri...

Nano size nickel copper ferrite powders (NiCuFe2O4) have been prepared by a prepared by Co precipitation method. The resulting powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM).The result showed nanosize nickel copper ferrite(35.65nm). The powders showed extensive XRD line broadening and sizes of crystals observed from the XRD line broadening was35.65 nm,...

The growing importance of nonlinear transmission lines for pulsed power and high microwave devices in defense industrial applications motivates material development system optimization. This study investigates composites manufactured with various volume loadings both magnetic (nickel zinc ferrite) dielectric (barium strontium titanate) inclusions a silicone matrix. Increasing the fraction bariu...

Calcium doped nickel ferrite powders have been prepared by sol-gel combustion technique. Metal nitrates, such as calcium nitrate, nickel nitrate and ferric nitrate, were used as the source materials and citric acid and polyvinyl alcohol were used as the burning agent and agglomeration reducing agent, respectively. The average crystallite size of the prepared ferrite was in the order of ~70- 92 ...

The safety and toxicity of nanoparticles are of growing concern despite their significant scientific interests and promising potentials in many applications. The properties of nanoparticles depend not only on the size but also the structure, microstructure and surface coating. These in turn are controlled by the synthesis and processing conditions. The dependence of cytotoxicity on particle siz...

Magnetic properties and electronic structure of nickel ferrite are studied using hybrid density functional theory. In the calculation, the exchange correlation is a mixture of Fock exchange, local spin density approximation (LSDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The weighting factor (w) of the Fock term and a scaling factor of the 3d orbitals of Fe (a) are introduced as fitting pa...
