This study evaluates the structural and magnetic properties of Ni-Mg substituted Cobalt ferrite samples prepared through the co-precipitation method. The nominal compositions Co0.5Ni0.5−xMgx Fe2O4 in the range x = 0.1 have been synthesized and then was sintered at temperature at 700 and 1000°C in the furnace for 10 hour with a heating rate of 5°C/min. The prepared nanoferrites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and vibration sample magnetometer (VSM). XRD confirmed formation of single phase spinel ferrite with average crystalline size in the range of 27–33 nm. The lattice constant (a), cell volume (V) and X-ray density (ρx) are also calculated from XRD data. Lattice constant (a) decreases with an increase of sintering temperature. Further information about the structure and morphology of the nanoferrites was obtained from FESEM and results are in good agreement with XRD. Saturation magnetization showed increasing trend with sintering temperature from 700 to 1000°C.

The prepared nano-ferrites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). XRD confirmed formation of single phase spinel ferrite with average crystalline size in the range of 40–120 nm. Further information about the structure and morphology of the nanoferrites was obtained from FESEM and results are in good agreement with XRD.

The present study describes the morphological and structural characterization of nanosized Ni-Mg cobalt-ferrites. The nominal compositions Co0.5Ni0.5−xMgx Fe2O4 in the range (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) have been synthesized by co-precipitation method. These nanopowder products were sintered in furnace at temperature of 900°C for 10 hour with a heating rate of 5°C/min to obtain these ferrites. The prepared nanoferrites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with varying concentration (x) in the composition of the prepared nanoferrites. XRD confirmed formation of single phase spinel ferrite with average crystalline size in the range of 34–37 nm. Lattice constant (a) increases with an increase of Mg concentration. Further information about the structure and morphology of the nanoferrites was obtained from FESEM and results are in good agreement with XRD.

Gallic acid-modified magnetites were synthesized by one and two-step reactions via the newly developed sonochemical co-precipitation method. The two-step reaction included the formation of magnetite powder and mixing the magnetite powder with gallic acid solution, while the one-step reaction did not go through the formation magnetite powder. The obtained gallic acid-modified magnetites were characterized by the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). More over, the magnetic properties were studied by using a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The characterization results showed that there were differences in crystalinity, surface morphology and magnetic properties of products that were formed by one and two-step reactions.

Mn 0.4 Cu 0.4 Zn 0.2 Fe ferrite was synthesized by soft chemical approach called co-precipitation technique. The ferrite powder was calcined, compacted and sintered at 700°C and 800°C for 3 h. The initial permeability, density, grain size, Curie temperature and dc resistivity have been studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) method confirmed the sample to be a single-phase spinel structure without unreacted constituents. The particle size was calculated from XRD spectrum using Scherrer's formula and found to be ~55 nm. Then, nanoparticles were observed with tunneling electron microscopy (TEM). Further, scanning electron micrograph (SEM) also confirmed nano-phase and the uniformity of the particles. The initial permeability values do not exhibit much variation with temperature, except near Curie temperature, where it falls sharply. The initial permeability is found to increase with the increase in sintering temperature. This is attributed to the increase in the grain size. Calculation of activation energy indicates that the given ferrite is p-type semiconductor. Mössbauer study of these samples shows superparamagnetic behavior, which also confirms the formation of nano-particles. Possible models and mechanisms contributing to these processes have been discussed.
