Effect of conditions of the mechanochemical synthesis and heat treatment on the phase composition, structural parameters, and magnetic properties of nanodimensional powders of cobalt spinel ferrite

Multiple parallel twinning overgrowth in nanostructured dense cobalt ferrite

“…The properties of CoFe2O4 depend strongly on crystallite size, grain shape, purity and cations distribution via exchange interaction between tetrahedral and octahedral site cations, which in turn depend on sample preparation method. Several innovative methods have been investigated in order to enhance or tailor CoFe2O4 properties, including sonochemical reactions [10], mechanochemical synthesis [11], hydrothermal hydrolysis [12], sol-gel auto-combustion [13].…”
