Structure and Magnetic Properties of Mn-Zn Ferrite Synthesized by Glycine-Nitrate Auto-Combustion Process
Abstract:
Manganese-Zinc ferrites belong to the group of soft ferrite materials characterized by high magnetic permeability and low power loses. These materials are mainly used as cores for inductors, transformers, recording heads and noise filters among others. In this study, nanocrystalline Mn-Zn ferrite with the chemical formula Mn1-xZnxFe2O4 with x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 has been successfully synthesized by glycine-nitrate auto-combustion process using glycine as a fuel and nitrates as oxidants. The structures and magnetic properties of the resulting powder were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It is revealed from the XRD pattern than a significant amount nanocrystalline Mn1-xZnxFe2O4 ferrite with average crystallite size in the range 43.25-66.7 nm has been formed. The magnetic measurement gives a typical value of saturation magnetic of 34-69 emu/g and coercivity of 40-60 Oe.
