Tailoring the Structural and Magnetic Properties and of Nickel Ferrite by Auto Combustion Method

AbstractNickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) is synthesized by using auto combustion method with citric acid as a chelating agent. The formation of single phase nickel ferrite was confirmed through powder X-ray diffraction. The vibrational analysis was confirmed through fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) analysis. The compositional analysis was confirmed through energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS). Surface morphology, crystalline form of NiFe2O4 was also investigated through transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analysis. Magnetic measurements showed the ferromagnetic behaviour with curie temperature at 500°C which is in agreement with that of the reported values. The results were discussed in detail
