Examination of structral morphological and magnetic behaviour of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticle synthesised by co-pricipitation method

Abstract

The Zinc Ferrites (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles (NPs) successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method. As prepared NPs were annealed withdifferent temperature at 800 and 1000C. The crystalline phase, surface morphology andelemental distribution were confirmed by XRD, SEM and EDS respectively. The prepared ZnFe2O4XRD pattern confirm the cubic crystalline nature. The surface morphology of the prepared sample was found irregular rock like structure due to ferric metal. FTIR, EDS studies prove charactristics behavioural vibration of Zn-Fe-O elements and purity of the sample correspondingly. Prepared ZnFe2O4 sample exhibit a super paramagnetic nature with the saturated magnetization of 22.066 emu/g and coercivity of 15 Oe by VSM analysis.
