Description
Summary:Nanoparticle Ni 1− x Zn x Fe 2 O 4 ( x =0.35,0.45) samples were prepared successfully via microwave assisted combustion method. Synthesis of nanosize materials at a low temperature using a domestic microwave oven is the unique feature of this method and is being tried for the first time to produce NiZn ferrites. Single-phase formation of the samples was confirmed from X-ray analysis and IR spectrum. XRD data reveals that lattice parameter increases with Zn content ‘ x ’. Particle sizes calculated from XRD analysis are in good agreement with TEM results. Extent of spin canting at octahedral B-site is deduced from Yafet–Kittel angles. Surface properties and reduced particle size affects the Curie temperature.
