Deskripsi

Pure phase spinel ferrite nanoparticles (Mn<sub>0.5</sub>Zn<sub>0.5</sub>Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) were one-step synthesized by the sol-gel auto-combustion method at low temperature. The structural characteristics, morphology and thermal decomposition were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), TG-DSC analyzer, respectively. The results indicate that pure phase Mn<sub>0.5</sub>Zn<sub>0.5</sub>Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> ferrite nanoparticles of about 60nm in diameter can be directly synthesized after auto-combustion of the nitrate-citrate xerogel under the conditions of pH=7.0, <i>R</i>=1:1 and <i>C</i>(CA)=0.7 mol/L. The obtained nanoparticles show the diameter increases and the diffraction peak narrows but the strength increases after calcined at 400℃ which improves the crystal structure.
