| Abstract: | 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 (Ni0.4Zn0.6-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. |
