Abstract:

Spinel zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles have engrossed immense attention due to its unusual amalgamation of its properties especially the magnetic properties and these properties are catered as fitting candidates in the field of electronics. Nanostructured spinel zinc ferrite particles were synthesized using scalable co-precipitation technique. The morphology, particle size and reaction pace of the nanoparticles (NPs) were fine tuned by eco-friendly technique. These NPs were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), photoluminescence (PL), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer ((VSM) and Dielectric studies. The required profiles were confirmed by XRD and FTIR spectra, UV-Vis, PL spectral studies. Further these measurements divulge the significance of optical properties and the spectral parameters are used to appraise the optical constants required for fabrication. Transmission electron microscopy eventually discloses the morphological analysis of the synthesized ZnFe2O4 nanoparticle as 15 nm within the scaling limitations. Using, VSM, the magnetic behaviour of the material have been determined as a function of magnetic field at ambient temperature; the magnetic measurements well-establishes the magnetic property and disclosed to have weak ferromagnetic behaviour as the crystallite size decreases. The A.C. conductivity measurements and dielectric studies were done as a functional dependence of frequency and temperature on synthesized nanoparticles.
