Magnetic Properties of (Nia-Znb)X Cu1-X Ferrite Nanoparticle Fabricated by Sol-Gel Process

Abstract

Abstract In future, more mobile devices with different frequencies will be used at the same time. Therefore, it is expected that the trouble caused by wave interference between devices will be further intensified. In order to prevent this trouble, investigation of selective frequency transmission or absorption material is required. In this paper, magnetic properties of nickel-zinc-copper ferrite nano powder was researched as wave absorber. (Nia-Znb)xCu1-xFe2O4(NZCF) nanoparticles were fabricated by the sol-gel method. The influence of copper substitution on lattice parameter change was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Magnetic properties analyzed by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The NZCF and Nickel-zinc ferrite (NZF) lattice parameter difference was 0.028 Å and particle size was calculated as 30 nm with the XRD peak. The VSM results of (Ni0.3-Zn0.3)0.6Cu1-0.6Fe2O4 annealed sample at 700°C for 3hous were 58.5 emu/g (Ms), 22.8 Oe (Hc). It was the most suitable magnetic properties for wave absorber in this investigation.
