Microstructural and Magnetic Studies on Calcined Ni-Zn Ferrite Powders Prepared by Chemical Co-Precipitation Method

Abstract:

In this paper, we report on structural and magnetic properties of NiZn ferrite powders prepared by chemical co-precipitation method and calcined at different temperatures. Structural, topological and compositional analyses were performed by XRD, SEM, AFM and EDX techniques. The cation distributions in Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 ferrites were investigated by XPS (Al K
radiation: h
=1486.6 eV). Particle sizes were measured using AFM techniques and results were compared with BET technique and magnetic measurements were carried out using a vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature.
