Abstract
Magnesium ferrite, Mg1-XZnXFe2O4, (where x varies from 0-0.5 and having values x=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5), has been synthesized through solution combustion route by using oxalic dihydrazide as a fuel for combustion process. Identities of these ferrite materials have been established by XRD (X-ray powder diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Single spinel phase ferrites have been synthesized by using solution combustion route. Synthesis of these ferrite materials is also achieved at low temperature and in shorter time. The crystallite size of these ferrite materials increases with Zn substitution. With increasing value of ‘x’ (Zn content), transition from the ferrimagnetic to the superparamagnetic nature is observed, which is evident form Mössbauer results.
