Abstract

Nanosized Copper-zinc ferrites Cu0.5Zn0.5Fe2O2 have been synthesized by aqueous precipitation method and characterized by using XRD (X-ray diffraction), TGA/DTA (Thermo gravimetric analysis), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)/ TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) and magnetic measurements by using VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer). XRD studies confirm the formation of cubic spinnel structure. SEM (scanning electron microscopy)/ TEM (transmission electron microscopy) was used to characterize the microstructure of the ferrite samples. A homogeneous and fine grain microstructure was found. Magnetic measurements shows that Ni0.5Cu0.5Fe2O2 is super paramagnetic in nature at room temperature and hence used in magnetic device. The particle size of synthesized Cu0.5Zn0.5Fe2O2 varied from 18nm to 68nm which is good agreement of the theoretically predicted size of nanomaterials. The method is easier more effective and convenient in comparison to the known methods of the synthesis Cu0.5Zn0.5Fe2O2 nano materials like combustion synthesis, thermal cracking and conventional ceramic methods.
