| Summary: | Nanocomposite ferrites are known as an exchange - spring magnet when they are well
exchange coupled. This phenomena has been studied by synthesized (SrFe12O19) -
(Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) nanoparticles using a one-pot thermal treatment method. This
technique is a single reaction mixture involving metal nitrates and the capping agent
which is polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). Nanocomposite ferrite nanoparticles were
succeed to synthesize via single reaction technique. The starting materials used were PVP
as the capping agent, deionized water and metal nitrates as the precursors. This study
was divided into 3 sections. For the first part, we investigated the effect of PVP as a
capping agent. Composite ferrites with 20% of hard and 80% of soft ferrites were
fabricated by varying the concentrations of PVP (0 to 0.06 g/ml). For the second part, we
studied the influence of phase distributions on the particles. Nanocomposite ferrites of
(SrFe12O19)x – (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4)1-x were synthesized by varying the contents of x (0.1 to
0.9). The last part of this research was on calcination temperatures. Samples of
(SrFe12O19)x – (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4)1-x where (x = 0.8 and 0.9) were calcined at 600 ºC to
1000 ºC for 3 hours.
Several characterizations were carried out such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Vibrating
Sample Magnetometer (VSM), Fourier Transform Infra-red (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric
Analysis (TGA), microstructure analysis using Field Emission Scanning Electron
Microscope (FESEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). From the XRD
analysis, both soft and hard phases were coexist for every samples. The optimum
concentration of PVP was 0.06 g/ml which gave a better magnetic properties compared
to other concentrations of PVP used. In addition, (SrFe12O19)x – (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4)1-x
nanocomposite with x = 0.9 shows highest Hc value with 5692 G and the optimum calcination temperature was found out to be at 800 ºC. From the analyses show that the
hard/soft nanocomposite ferrites were able to synthesize by this one-pot thermal
treatment method. Therefore, this technique is one of the promising method to fabricate
nanocomposite permanent magnet. |
