Structure and Magnetic Properties of Nickel–Zinc Ferrite Nanoparticles Prepared by Glass Crystallization Method

Summary. The magnetic and microstructure properties of Fe₂O₃–0.4NiO–0.6ZnO–B₂O₃ glass system, which was subjected to heat treatment in order to induce a magnetic crystalline phase (Ni_0.4Zn_0.6-Fe₂O₄ crystals) within the glass matrix, were investigated. DSC measurement was performed to reveal the crystallization temperature of the prepared glass sample. The obtained samples, produced by heat treatment at 765°C for various times (1, 1.5, 2, and 3 h), were characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, transmission electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results indicated the formation of spinel Ni–Zn ferrite in the glass matrix. Particles of the ferrite with sizes ranging from 28 to 120 nm depending on the sintering time were observed. The coercivity values for different heat-treatment samples were found to be in the range from 15.2 to 100 Oe. The combination of zinc content and sintering times leads to samples with saturation magnetization ranging from 12.25 to 17.82 emu/g.

氧缺位铁酸盐的制备及结构与还原行为的研究

在３５８Ｋ下用２００ｍｌ／ｍｉｎ的空气氧化碱性悬浮液合成了ＭＦｅ_２Ｏ_（４＋δ）（δ≥０，Ｍ＝Ｆｅ、Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、Ｍｎ），并在５７３Ｋ下用４０ｍｌ／ｍｉｎ的Ｈ_２还原ＭＦｅ_２Ｏ_（４＋δ）制备了氧缺位铁酸盐ＭＦｅ_２Ｏ_（４－δ）（δ＞０）。用ＸＲＤ、Ｍｓｓｂａｕｅｒ谱等测试方法对铁酸盐的结构进行了表征，考察了铁酸盐的组成及第二金属组分（Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、Ｍｎ）对铁酸盐还原性能的影响。在Ｈ_２还原３ｈ内，铁酸盐氧缺位程度随还原时间增加而增大，晶格常数也相应增大；５ｈ以上，铁酸盐将被还原为ＭＯ－ＦｅＯ或α－Ｆｅ，晶格常数几乎不变。按Ｆｅ、Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、Ｍｎ顺序，ＭＯ与ＦｅＯ的相互作用能力、ＭＯ－ＦｅＯ固溶体的稳定性及铁酸盐还原为ＭＯ－ＦｅＯ的能力均增强，ＭＯ－ＦｅＯ进一步还原为α－Ｆｅ的能力却减弱。     

Measurements of the spatially resolved electron temperature and plasma potential in ferrite-core side type Ar/He inductively-coupled plasmas

Spatial distributions of the effective electron temperature (T_eff) and plasma potential were studied from the measurement of an electron energy probability function in a side type ferrite-core inductively coupled plasma with an argon–helium mixture. As the helium gas was diluted at the fixed total gas pressure of 5 mTorr in an argon discharge, the distribution of the plasma density and plasma potential changed from a concave to a flat profile, and finally became a convex profile, while all spatial profiles of T_eff were hollow shapes with helium dilution in the argon discharge. This evolution of the plasma potential with helium gas could be explained by the increased energy relaxation length (λ_ε), indicating the transition of electron kinetics from local to non-local kinetics.     

Application of Novel Zn‐Ferrite Modified Glassy Carbon Paste Electrode as a Sensor for Determination of Cd(II) in Waste Water

This paper describes the preparation of a new sensor based on Zn‐ferrite modified glassy carbon paste electrode and its electrochemical application for the determination of trace Cd(II) ions in waste waters using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). Different Zn/Ni ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The prepared ferrite nanoparticles were used for the preparation of Zn‐ferrite‐modified glassy carbon paste electrode (ZnMGCPE) for determination of Cd(II) at nanomolar levels in waste water at pH 5. The different parameters such as conditions of preparation, Zn²⁺/Ni²⁺/Fe²⁺ ratio and electrochemical parameters, percentage of modifier, accumulation time, pH and accumulation potential were investigated. Besides, interference measurements were also evaluated under optimized parameters. The best voltammetric response was observed for ZnFe₂O₄ modifier, when the percentage of modifier was 3 %, accumulation time 9 min, pH of supporting electrolyte 5 and accumulation potential ?1.05 V. Thus prepared electrode displays excellent response to Cd(II) with a detection limit of 0.38 ppb, and selective detection toward Cd(II) was achieved.     

On the cryogenic magnetic transition and martensitic transformation of the austenite phase of 7MoPLUS duplex stainless steel

The magnetic behaviour and martensitic transformation at cryogenic temperatures (down to 4 K) of the austenite phase of the duplex stainless steel (DSS), 7MoPLUS, were studied. As regards the prediction of Neel temperature, the empirical expressions for austenitic stainless steels are not applicable to the austenite phase of 7MoPLUS, although the composition of the austenite phase falls within the composition ranges within which the expressions were developed. Regarding the prediction of martensitic point Ms, the applicability of ‘old’ and recently developed expressions has been examined. The recently developed expressions, which take into account more alloying elements and their interactions, are not suitable for the austenite phase of 7MoPLUS. But for the ‘old’, simpler expressions, they seem to be valid in the sense that they all predict high stability of the austenite phase. Results obtained from 7MoPLUS were qualitatively the same as those obtained from another DSS, designated as 2205. Reasons for the applicability and inapplicability of these empirical expressions are suggested.     

First-principles study of the electronic and magnetic properties of a Nickel-Zinc ferrite: ZnxNi1−xFe2O4

Using first-principles density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation method, the effect of Zn doping on electronic and magnetic properties of NiFe₂O₄ ferrite spinel has been studied. The crystal structure of the compounds is assigned to a pseudocubic structure and the lattice constant increases as the Zn concentration increases. Our spin-polarized calculations give a half-metallic state for NiFe₂O₄ and a normal metal state for Zn_xNi_1−xFe₂O₄ (0<x≤0.5). Based on the magnetic properties calculations, it is found that the saturation magnetic moment enhances linearly with increase in the Zn content in NiFe₂O₄. The Zn doping in NiFe₂O₄ also induces strong ferrimagnetism since it decreases the magnetic moment of A-sites.     

A simple solvothermal synthesis of MFe2O4 (M=Mn, Co and Ni) nanoparticles

Nanoparticles of MFe₂O₄ (M=Mn, Co and Ni), with diameters ranging from 5 to 10 nm, have been obtained through a solvothermal method. In this synthesis, an alcohol (benzyl alcohol or hexanol) is used as both a solvent and a ligand; it is not necessary, therefore, to add a surfactant, simplifying the preparation of the dispersed particles. We have studied the influence of the synthetic conditions (temperature, time of synthesis and nature of solvent) on the quality of the obtained ferrites and on their particle size. In this last aspect, we have to highlight that the solvent plays an important role on the particle size, obtaining the smallest diameters when hexanol was used as a solvent. In addition, the magnetic properties of the obtained compounds have been studied at room temperature (RT). These compounds show a superparamagnetic behaviour, as was expected for single domain nanoparticles, and good magnetization values. The maxima magnetization values of the MFe₂O₄ samples are quite high for such small nanoparticles; this is closely related to the high crystallinity of the particles obtained by the solvothermal method.     

Novel polyaniline-LiNi0.5La0.02Fe1.98O4 nanocomposites prepared via an in situ polymerization

Polyaniline (PANI)-LiNi_0.5La_0.02Fe_1.98O₄ nanocomposites were synthesized by an in situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of LiNi_0.5La_0.02Fe_1.98O₄ ferrite. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). FTIR spectra and XRD indicated the formation of the PANI-LiNi_0.5La_0.02Fe_1.98O₄ composites. AFM study was shown that the average size of samples was less than 100 nm and the ferrite particles had an effect on the morphology of composites. The nanocomposites under applied magnetic field exhibited the hysteresis loops of the ferrimagnetic nature, the saturation magnetization and the coercivity varied with the ferrite content. The bonding model for the composites was also studied.
