Comparison of the effect of nickel and cobalt cations addition on the structural and magnetic properties of manganese-zinc ferrite nanoparticles

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nickel and cobalt cations on magnetic properties of manganese-zinc ferrite (MZF) nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were produced through sol-gel combustion process with citric acid as the fuel. Then the obtained nanoparticles were calcinated for 30 min at 500 °C. In order to characterize the compounds, four methods were employed, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample …
