Polyol Synthesis and Properties of AFe₂O₄ Nanoparticles (A = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn) with Spinel Structure

Abstract:

Nanosized particles of AFe₂O₄ compounds (A = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn) with spinel structure have been synthesized by precipitation from glycol solutions. Diethylene glycol (DEG) was used as high-boiling alcohol medium. Based on NMR studies, the peculiarities of the formation of nanoparticles in glycol solution using metal nitrates as initial reagents have been considered. For the synthesized compounds crystallographic, microscopical and magnetic investigations have been carried out.
