Low and high temperature magnetic properties of MgFe2O4 nanoparticles synthesized by a simple egg white albumin route
Ferrite type magnetic nanoparticles composed of iron oxide and a metallic element have been attracting considerable interest in manifold applications due to their valuable physical, mechanical, optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties. However, the magnetic properties of ferrite nanoparticles produced via various conventional methods often fall short of the desired specifications for many applications. It is essential to develop an easy, cost-effective, and non-toxic method of preparation. A relatively facile, cost-effective and environment friendly method has been a key focus of research. This study aims to synthesize the MgFe2O4 (MFO) spinel ferrite using eco-friendly freshly extracted egg-white albumin method and study the detailed structural as well as the high temperature magnetic characteristics over a wide range of temperature from 2 K to 900 K. The phase purity, particle size, morphology, surface features, elemental confirmation, optical properties, elemental states as well as the magnetic characteristics of the prepared MFO nanoparticles were discussed. The prepared MFO nanoparticles were exhibited a cubic crystal structure in confirmation to a space group of Fd-3 m with an average particle size of 20 nm. UV–Visible absorption analysis of MFO nanoparticles showed an optical band gap of 3.32 eV. Mixed spinel type of MFO is confirmed from XPS spectra. The temperature variation of hysteresis loop suggested a super paramagnetic like behavior, however, a finite coercivity (Hc) was observed. The Hc, Mr, and Ms of the MFO nanoparticles were observed to be 50Oe, 2 emu/g and 26 emu/g, respectively. It was observed from the e Mr/Ms ratio of MFO nanoparticles that the particles are transforming into multi domain in nature above 100 K. The temperature variation of magnetization studies revealed a transition temperature is at around 588 K. Detailed magnetic behavior is investigated and explained by the models supported by theoretical studies.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
