Microwave assisted low temperature synthesis of MnZn ferrite nanoparticles

Nanoscale Research Letters volume 2, Article number: 40 (2007) Cite this article

Abstract

MnZnFe2O4ferrite nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method using a microwave heating system at temperature of 100 °C. X-ray diffraction reveals the samples as prepared are pure ferrite nanocrystalline phase, transmission electron microscopy image analysis shows particles are in agglomeration state with an average size of about 10 nm, furthermore, crystal size of samples are increased with longer microwave heating.
