Nickel Ferrite Nanocrystallites Synthesized by Sol-Gel and Coprecipitation Methods: A Comparative Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructures and magnetic properties of nickel ferrite synthesized by coprecipitation and sol–gel methods are comparatively studied. The coprecipitation-derived samples have Fe/Ni ratios differing from their raw materials because of the precipitation washing process. The stoichiometric metal cations (Fe/Ni=2.0) in the xerogel facilitated the nucleation and growth of nickel ferrite nanocrystallites at lower calcination temperature in sol–gel method. The samples consist of nickel ferrite nanocrystallites, and have superparamagnetic properties at room temperature.
