摘要
Silica coated (30 wt%) cobalt zinc ferrite (Co1-xZnxFe2O4, x=0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 1) nanoparticles were synthesized by using sol-gel method. Silica acts as a spacer among the nanoparticles to avoid the agglomeration. X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals the cubic spinel ferrite structure of nanoparticles with crystallite size in the range 37 45 nm. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the formation of spinel ferrite and Si-2. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that the nanoparticles are nearly spherical and non-agglomerated due to presence of non-magnetic Sia, surface coating. All these measurements signify that the structural and magnetic properties of Co1-xZnxFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles strongly depend on Zn concentration and nanoparticle average crystallite size in different Zn concentration regimes.
