Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) has been synthesized by a solid-state mechanothermal process, and its molar heat capacity has been determined. A stoichiometric mixture of CoC2O4 · 2H2O and FeC2O4 · 2H2O was subjected to a combination of mechanical activation (by high-energy milling) and thermal activation (by annealing at temperatures between 300 and 700 ◦C). The process was followed by thermogravimet...

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 aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of ph on the synthesis of nanocrystallines cobalt ferrite by combination of sol- gel auto combustion and ultrasonic irradiation methods. two different fuels, urea and thiourea, along with metal nitrates (oxidant) were used to prepare cofe2o4 powders. the morphology of the resulting powders was investigated. the powders were characterized by x-r...

Perpendicular magnetization and precise control over the magnetic easy axis in magnetic thin film is necessary for a variety of applications, particularly in magnetic recording media. A strong (111) orientation is successfully achieved in the CoFe2O4 (CFO) thin film at relatively low substrate temperature of 100 °C, whereas the (311)-preferred randomly oriented CFO is prepared at room temperatu...

Theoretical analysis has been carried out to establish the heat transport phenomenon of six different ferromagnetic MnZnFe2O4-C2H6O2 (manganese zinc ferrite-ethylene glycol), NiZnFe2O4-C2H6O2 (Nickel zinc ferrite-ethylene glycol), Fe2O4-C2H6O2 (magnetite ferrite-ethylene glycol), NiZnFe2O4-H2O (Nickel zinc ferrite-water), MnZnFe2O4-H2O (manganese zinc ferrite-water), and Fe2O4-H2O (magnetite fe...

cobalt ferrite is an important magnetic material due to their large magneto-crystalline anisotropy, high cohercivity, moderate saturation magnetization and chemical stability.in this study, cobalt ferrites nanoparticles have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method and a new microemulsion route. we examined the cation occupancy in the spinel structure based on the “rietveld with energies...

In this research work cobalt-ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple, general sol-gel auto-combustion method. For this study, electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing coatings with different weight fractions of nano-carbon and CoFe2O4 (which, arises from both dielectric and magnetic contributions) and polymeric epoxy resin were prepared and their characteristics were fully inves...
