Nanocrystalline ~NC! ferrite powders have been synthesized using a 50 kW–3 MHz rf thermal plasma torch for high-frequency soft magnet applications. A mixed powder of Ni and Fe (Ni:Fe 51:2), a NiFe permalloy powder with additional Fe powder (Ni:Fe51:2), and a NiFe permalloy powder (Ni:Fe51:1) were used as precursors for synthesis. Airflow into the reactor chamber was the source of oxygen for oxi...

Nanosized metal oxides dispersed polymer composites constitute a fascinating class of polymer composite materials. Synthesis of such composite materials through solvent casting enhances the polymer synthetic technology. Solvent casting method was used to prepare Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) dispersed Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nano composite<span style="text-decoration: und...

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) has been synthesized by a solid-state mechanothermal process, and its molar heat capacity has been determined. A stoichiometric mixture of CoC2O4 · 2H2O and FeC2O4 · 2H2O was subjected to a combination of mechanical activation (by high-energy milling) and thermal activation (by annealing at temperatures between 300 and 700 ◦C). The process was followed by thermogravimet...

Nano size nickel copper ferrite powders (NiCuFe2O4) have been prepared by a prepared by Co precipitation method. The resulting powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM).The result showed nanosize nickel copper ferrite(35.65nm). The powders showed extensive XRD line broadening and sizes of crystals observed from the XRD line broadening was35.65 nm,...

the aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of ph on the synthesis of nanocrystallines cobalt ferrite by combination of sol- gel auto combustion and ultrasonic irradiation methods. two different fuels, urea and thiourea, along with metal nitrates (oxidant) were used to prepare cofe2o4 powders. the morphology of the resulting powders was investigated. the powders were characterized by x-r...

In this research nano particles of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion route. The effect of water and ethylene glycol solvents were studied on phase constituents, magnetic properties and microstructure of the bismuth ferrite by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. XRD resul...

Nano-sized crystallites of iron oxide were synthesized by cost effective co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction pattern indicated that the magnetic nanoparticles were pure Fe3O4 with a spinel structure. The nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectra, Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and magnetization measurement of the nanop...
