Abstract

Li0.1Zn0.9O and MgFe2O4 powders were synthesized using chemical methods and mixed in different proportions to prepare a mixture of Li0.1Zn0.9O and MgFe2O4 that was thermally treated between 900 to 1100 °C for 1 hour. Structural characterization was done using X-ray powder diffraction measurements. Grain sizes and morphologies of Li0.1Zn0.9O, MgFe2O4, and Li0.1Zn0.9O+MgFe2O4 samples were observed using a scanning electron microscope. Variation of magnetic properties of the Li0.1Zn0.9O+MgFe2O4 samples due to the addition of Li0.1Zn0.9O was studied in relation to the structural changes occurring due to the thermal treatment. In particular, changes in the cationic distribution between the tetrahedral and octahedral positions were studied with respect to the increase of the annealing temperature. Magnetization was found to be dependent on the cations distributed in the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of the MgFe2O4.
