Abstract

Cobalt zinc ferrite, Co0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4, nanoparticles have been synthesized via autocatalytic decomposition of the precursor, cobalt zinc ferrous fumarato hydrazinate. The X-ray powder diffraction of the ‘as prepared’ oxide confirms the formation of single phase nanocrystalline cobalt zinc ferrite nanoparticles. The thermal decomposition of the precursor has been studied by isothermal, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. The precursor has also been characterized by FTIR, and chemical analysis and its chemical composition has been determined as Co0.8Zn0.2Fe2(C4H2O4)3·6N2H4. The Curie temperature of the ‘as-prepared oxide’ was determined by AC susceptibility measurements.
