The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Zn0.95Co0.05O, Zn0.95Fe0.05O and Zn0.90Fe0.05Co0.05O nanoparticles prepared by a sol-gel method are presented and discussed. Xray diffraction and optical analysis indicated that high spin Co ions substitute for the Zn ions in tetrahedral sites. Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy showed the presence of isolated paramagnetic Fe ions in both Fe doped an...

in the present work, the znfe2o4 nanoparticle has been successfully synthesized. the obtained sample was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-sem) and its optical property was examined by uv-vis spectrophotometer. fe-sem revealed that the particle size of the znfe2o4 of about 47 nm was synthesized. the photocatalytic performance under uv-vis and vi...

This paper reports the use of Simbang Darah (Iresine herbstii) leaf extract to synthesize ZnFe2O4 spinel ferrite nanoparticles via hydrothermal method. Biochemical compounds in act as a capping agent and stabilizer form nanostructures. XRD patterns FTIR spectrums confirm formation cubic crystal structure nanoparticles. SEM TEM characterization revealed that morphology has uniform spherical shap...

The actual role of transition metals like iron in the room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) of Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles is still an unsolved problem. While some studies concluded that the Fe ions participate in the magnetic interaction, others in contrast do not believe Fe to play a direct role in the magnetic exchange interaction. To contribute to the understanding of this issue, we have ca...
