In this work we have examined the influence of the pH on the structural and magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles obtained by a combination of the co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods. The crystal structures and the particle sizes of the prepared powders were analyzed by the X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, while the magnetic properties of the...

MnZnFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method using a microwave heating system at temperature of 100 C. X-ray diffraction reveals the samples as prepared are pure ferrite nanocrystalline phase, transmission electron microscopy image analysis shows particles are in agglomeration state with an average size of about 10 nm, furthermore, crystal size of samples are increas...

Conducting polymer/ferrite nanocomposites with an organized structure provide a new functional hybrid between organic and inorganic materials. The most popular among the conductive polymers is the polyaniline (PANI) due to its wide application in different fields. In the present work nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel citrate-nitrate method with an average size of 2...

Bimagnetic monodisperse CoFe₂O₄/Fe₃O₄ core/shell nanoparticles have been prepared by solution evaporation route. To demonstrate preferential coating of iron oxide onto the surface of ferrite nanoparticles X-ray diffraction (XRD), High resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) and Raman spectroscopy have been performed. XRD analysis using Rietveld refinement technique confirms single ...

Magnetothermal applications of nanoparticles in biomedicine are currently limited by low thermal responses to oscillating magnetic fields on one side and detrimental physiological effects electromagnetic radiation the other side. In this paper, using Zn–Mn ferrite nanoparticles, we demonstrate that an appropriate choice size chemical composition results superquadratic (upto 5th power) dependenc...

The safety and toxicity of nanoparticles are of growing concern despite their significant scientific interests and promising potentials in many applications. The properties of nanoparticles depend not only on the size but also the structure, microstructure and surface coating. These in turn are controlled by the synthesis and processing conditions. The dependence of cytotoxicity on particle siz...

magnetic cofe2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple chemical reaction using precipitation method. the obtained materials consist of ferrite particles with average diameter of 25 nm. the effect of different surfactants such as cationic, anionic and neutral on the morphology of the products was investigated. scanning electron microscopy was used to study the structure and particle size o...

Magnetic properties of nanocomposite materials obtained by dispersing barium ferrite nanoparticles within polystyrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, in the temperature range, 300 to 500 K are reported. The temperature dependence of the magnetization at saturation, averaged uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and coercive field of thick films are analyzed. A "matrix effect" was noticed w...

Combination of the surfactant-free nonaqueous sol–gel approach with the microwave technique makes it possible to synthesize Fe3O4, CoFe2O4, MnFe2O4, and NiFe2O4 nanoparticles of about 5–6 nm and with high crystallinity and good morphological uniformity. The synthesis involves the reaction of metal acetates or acetylacetonates as precursors with benzyl alcohol at 170 C under microwave irradiatio...

Cobalt-ferrite (CoFe2O4) based materials are suitable candidates for magnetomechanical sensor applications owing to a strong sensitivity of their magnetostriction to an applied magnetic field. Zn-doped cobalt-ferrites, with nominal compositions CoFe2−xZnxO4 (x = 0–0.3), were synthesized by auto-combustion technique using Co, Fe, and Znnitrate as precursors. X-ray spectra analysis and Transmissi...
