Abstract
Two mixed ferrite systems, namely Ni0.65Zn0.35Fe2O4 (Ni-Zn) and Mn0.75 Zn0.18 Fe2.07 O4 (Mn-Zn) have been prepared by coprecipitation method, and then the resulting ultrafine powders were heat treated at different temperatures from 200 to 800 C for improved crystallinity and magnetic properties. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, and ferromagnetic resonance spectrometry. As a result of the heat treatment, the average particle size has been found to increase from 9.9 to 15.7 nm for Ni-Zn ferrites and from 2.4 to 10.2 nm for Mn-Zn ferrites, and the corresponding magnetization values have increased from 9.1 to 23 emu/g for Ni-Zn ferrites and from 7.9 to 11.7 emu/g for Mn-Zn ferrites, respectively. The results are discussed in the light of changes in particle size and inversion degree parameter for cationic distribution at nanoscales.
