In this research cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by simple chemical precipitation method using cobalt sulfate. The CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy  and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy. The crystallite size of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles was calculated by Debye–Scherrer formula. The effect of precursor...

We report the detailed structural characterization and magnetic investigation of nanocrystalline zinc ferrite nanoparticles supported on a silica aerogel porous matrix which differ in size (in the range 4-11 nm) and the inversion degree (from 0.4 to 0.2) as compared to bulk zinc ferrite which has a normal spinel structure. The samples were investigated by zero-field-cooling-field-cooling, therm...

Nanocrystalline ~NC! ferrite powders have been synthesized using a 50 kW–3 MHz rf thermal plasma torch for high-frequency soft magnet applications. A mixed powder of Ni and Fe (Ni:Fe 51:2), a NiFe permalloy powder with additional Fe powder (Ni:Fe51:2), and a NiFe permalloy powder (Ni:Fe51:1) were used as precursors for synthesis. Airflow into the reactor chamber was the source of oxygen for oxi...

The magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite-silica nanocomposites with different concentrations (15, 30, and 50 wt %) and sizes (7, 16, and 28 nm) of ferrite particles have been studied by static magnetization measurements and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The results indicate a superparamagnetic behavior of the nanoparticles, with weak interactions slightly increasing with the cobalt ferrite content a...

Introduction Magnetic oxide nanomaterials, including iron oxide (Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3), spinel ferrites (MFe2O4; M=Mn, Zn, Cr, Ni, or Co) and hexagonal ferrite (MFe12O19, M=Ba and Sr) are attracting much attention due to their wide application potentials in advanced magnets, electronic devices, information storage, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and drug-delivery technology [1-6]. Hence, the sy...

Appropriate addition of CuO/V2O5 and the reduction of the granularity of the raw materials particle decrease the sintering temperature of NiZn ferrite from 1200 degrees C to 930 degrees C. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of the NiZn ferrite prepared at low temperature of 930 degrees C is superior to that of the NiZn ferrite prepared by sintering at high temperature of 1200 degrees C becaus...

in this work, mn ferrite nanopowders were prepared by co-precipitation method and were characterized. phase identification of the nanopowders was performed by x-ray diffraction method and the mean particle size of the nanopowders was calculated by scherrer's formula, using necessary corrections. magnetic parameters of the prepared nanopowders were measured by a vibrating sample magnetomete...

Nano size lithium ferrite was prepared through aerosol route and characterized using TEM, XRD, magnetic measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The particle size of as obtained samples were found to be ~10 nm through TEM, that increases upto ~80 nm on annealing at 1200 C. The unit cell parameter ‘a’ calculated using XRD, confirms the formation of α-LiFe5O8. Room temperature Mössbauer spectra o...

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) possesses excellent chemical stability, good mechanical hardness and a large positive first order crystalline anisotropy constant, which made this ferrite a promising candidate for magneto-optical recording media. In addition to precise control on the composition and structure of CoFe2O4, the success of its practical application will depend on the capability of controll...

Mn ferrite (MnFe(2)O(4)) nanoparticles, having diameters from 4 to 50 nm, were synthesized using a modified co-precipitation technique in which mixed metal chloride solutions were added to different concentrations of boiling NaOH solutions to control particle growth rate. Thermomagnetization measurements indicated an increase in Néel temperature corresponding to increased particle growth rate a...
