Abstract
M-type strontium ferrites (SrM) are widely used in permanent magnets, high-density magnetic recording media, and microwave equipment. Herein, the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the structural and magnetic properties of SrM nanoparticles was studied by using the sol-gel self-combustion method. The properties of the samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, and VSM. XRD indicates that all samples consist of pure SrM phases. Compared to samples without PEG, SrM nanoparticles synthesized with an optimal PEG concentration (1 mg/ml) exhibited reduced lattice parameters and unit cell volume. SEM images reveal that the optimized samples effectively prevented particle agglomeration. The average particle size decreased from 162.3 nm to 91.6 nm. Magnetic studies demonstrated that the MR increased from 27.7 emu/g to 32.8 emu/g, and MS increased from 51.4 emu/g to 60.7 emu/g. Furthermore, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant increased from 4.3 × 105 erg·cm−3 to 5.3 × 105 erg·cm−3. This study is of significant importance for understanding the effects of different concentrations of PEG on the various properties of SrM nanoparticles.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
