摘要
This work presents a systematic investigation on the structural and magnetic properties of Co1鈭?em>xZnxFe2O4 (0.5<x<0.75) nanoparticles synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation method. The X-ray diffraction analysis, the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and the Vibrating Sample Magnetometer were carried out at room temperature to study the micro-structural and magnetic properties. The X-ray measurements revealed the production of a broad single cubic phase with the crystallite size within the range of 6-10 nm. The FTIR measurements between 400 and 4000 cm鈭? confirmed the intrinsic cation vibrations of the spinel structure. The magnetic measurements show that the saturation magnetization and coercivity decrease by increasing the zinc content. Furthermore, the results reveal that the sample with a chemical composition of Co0.3Zn0.7Fe2O4 exhibits the super-paramagnetic behavior and the Curie point of 97 掳C.
