Transmission electron microscopy observation of the microemulsion process and the magnetic properties of the resultant nanocrystalline Ni–Zn ferrites
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 March 2011
Abstract
Nanocrystalline Ni–Zn ferrite particles (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) have been successfully produced by microemulsion method. The microemulsion process was first observed by transmission electron microscopy examination. The particles exhibit a blocking temperature of 95 K. They do not attain saturation magnetization even at a high field of 50 KOe. The saturation magnetization at 300 K is 29.8 emu/g, which is significantly lower than that reported for the bulk ceramic standard. Below the blocking temperature, the Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanocrystalline particles exhibit a hysteretic feature. The remanent magnetization and coercivity at 2K are 10.45 emu/g and 453 Oe, respectively.
