Analysis of Structural and Magnetic Characteristics of Nickel Ferrite Nanoparticles Prepared by Hydrothermal Method

Authors

Abstract

In the present investigation, spherical nanoparticles of nickel ferrite with uniform structure were successfully produced by hydrothermal method in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a polymeric surfactant at 180°C for 12 hour aging time and the effects of the synthesis time, temperature and surfactant were investigated. According to the X-ray analysis, conversion of nickel oxide and hematite to nickel ferrite was a way to produce NiFe2O4. At 140‌°C, agglomerated particles without specific shape were formed, but at 180°C particles were homogenous with spherical shape. Saturation magnetization increased by increasing the hydrothermal process aging time.
