摘要
In this work, we study the effect of Mg2+ nonmagnetic ions on the magnetic properties of cubic Co1-xMgxFe2O4 mixed nanostructured ferrites synthesized by a forced hydrolysis method. Magnetization measurements show that all specimens are superparamagnetic at room temperature, and the saturation magnetization (M-s) decreases with increasing the molar magnesium concentration, being 260 emu/cm(3) and 160 emu/cm(3) for x = 0.0 and 0.6, respectively. The Curie temperature T-C, similar to 740 K is determined by means of the inverse of the susceptibility versus temperature and slightly depends on the Mg content. The effective anisotropy constant, (K-eff) decreases with substitution of Co2+ ion by nonmagnetic Mg2+ ions in the spinel structure. These results are discussed in terms of interparticle interactions induced by the thermal fluctuations, cation distribution and other imperfections that could increase with temperature.
