Abstract

Abstract The spinel ZnFe 2 O 4 ferrites with sodium citrate as a surfactant were fabricated by polyol process. The effect of surfactant amount on the structure, morphology and magnetic properties of ZnFe 2 O 4 ferrites were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry (TG–DSC) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), respectively. The results indicate that the structure of ZnFe 2 O 4 ferrites is a pure cubic spinel structure with a particle size of 5–8 nm. The dispersion of the synthesized ZnFe 2 O 4 is enhanced when the mole ratio of Fe(acac) 3 to sodium citrate decreases. The synthesized particles present ferrimagnetic behavior with a small hysteresis at room temperature. The increase of surfactant amount conversely leads to the decrease in the saturation magnetization value (Ms) especially when the mole ratio of Fe(acac) 3 to sodium citrate decreases to 8:3. Its Ms value is drastically reduced to 18.97 emu/g.
