Magnetic and spectroscopic properties of Ni-Zn-Al ferrite spinel: from the nanoscale to microscale.

ABSTRACT: This article presents the annealing effect on the structural, elastic, thermodynamic, optical, magnetic, and electric properties of Ni_0.6Zn_0.4Fe_1.5Al_0.5O₄ (NZFAO) nanoparticles (NPs). The samples were successfully synthesized by the sol-gel method followed by annealing of the as-synthesized at 600, 800, 900, 1050, and 1200 °C. This approach yielded the formation of a highly crystalline structure with crystallite size ranging from 17 nm to 40 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques, as well as energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, were used in order to determine the structural and morphological properties of the prepared samples.
