Abstract

The ferrites have been studied systematically, due to their dielectric and magnetic properties, being used in various applications in industry such as core processors, catalysts. In this work, we synthesized and characterized ferrites ZNXMg(1-x) Fe2O4, where 0≤x≤0.8, by the method of combustion reaction. This method have been used to produce ferrites quickly and inexpensively for producing ferrites quickly and inexpensively. The following chemical were used in the synthesis: iron nitrate Fe(NO3)3.9H2O, magnesium nitrate Mg (NO3)3.6H2O, zinc nitrate Zn(NO3)3.6H2O and urea CO(NH2)2 as fuel. The obtained ferrites were analysed by atomic absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results of atomic absorption spectroscopy showed that the samples were synthesized with stoichiometry close to the calculated. The Xray diffraction showed that there was the formation of the spinel phase, typical of ferrites, the crystallite size varied from 37nm to x = 0.8 and 55 nm for x = 0.4. Infrared spectroscopy showed absorption bands typical of spinel type ferrites. The magnetic saturation, coercivity and remanent magnetization varied with the amount of zinc. The x=0,4 zinc ferrite had a maximum of magnetic saturation of 246.4 (emu/cm3) for x = 0.4 zinc. The value of coercivity and remnant magnetization decreased with the replacement of magnesium by zinc. The coercivity ranged from 82.0 (Oe) for x = 0,0 to 3.8 (Oe) for x = 0.8 and the remnant magnetization ranged from 17.0 (emu/cm3) for x = 0.0 to 0.3 (emu/cm3) for x = 0.8. The Curie temperature decreased with the replacement of magnesium by zinc, and the Curie temperature of ferrite, magnesium MgFe2O4, was 750 K.
