Abstract: Nanocrystalline nickel-zinc ferrites were synthesized via a reverse micelle microemulsion route. The precursor cations were precipitated in the microemulsion system CTAB/1-hexanol/water. A subsequent oxidizing reaction was used to synthesize the nickel-zinc ferrite. The obtained nanoparticles were less than 20 nm in size.Keywords: nanomaterials, ferrite, powders synthesis, microemulsion, reverse micellePublished in DKUM: 23.03.2017; Views: 1117; Downloads: 120 Full text (109,33 KB)This document has many files!

Abstract: Stoichiometric nanocrystalline nickel-zinc ferrites were synthesized by a reverse micelle method following a multi-microemulsion approach. Different pH values were chosen for the alkali precipitating reaction during the synthesis of different powders. Synthesized, as-dried and subsequently calcined powders were characterized in terms of their magnetic properties. XRD analyses and specific-surface area measurements were used to determine the average particlesizes of the synthesized samples. DCS and TGA measurements were performed to reveal the phase transitions within the samples at elevated temperatures, whereas TEM was used to view and record the microstructure of the nanosized ferrite samples. A possible mechanism of the formation of the synthesized NiZn-ferrite was also discussed.Keywords: magnetic materials, magnetic nanoparticles, microemulsion synthesis, nickel, iron, fine powders, Ni-Zn ferrites, reverse micelle methodPublished in DKUM: 01.06.2012; Views: 2071; Downloads: 58 Link to full text
