Nanocrystalline Ni-Zn spinel ferrites: size-dependent physical, photocatalytic and antioxidant properties.

ABSTRACT: The physical properties of nanomagnetic particles are expected to be highly dependent on their size. In this study, besides the promising applications of nanocrystalline Ni-Zn spinel ferrites in the area of photocatalysis and free radical scavenging, we present a detailed study with appropriate scientific explanations on the role of size change in modifying and tuning the microstructural, optical and magnetic properties. Three nanostructured Zn_0.3Ni_0.7Fe₂O₄ samples of different particle sizes were prepared via the chemical co-precipitation method. Crystallographic phase purity and formation of the spinel cubic phase for all the samples were tested by X-ray diffraction studies. The magnetic properties of the as-synthesized ferrite nanoparti
