Abstract
ZnCr1-xFexO4 system (with x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2) at the nanoscale has been successfully synthesized by a simple combination of milling mixture of Zn, Cr, and Fe oxides precursors. X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements were carried out on the as-milled powders. XRD pattern clearly shows that the mixed oxides are all nanosized. However, as Fe2O3 increases the ZnCrFeO4 phase becomes the main phase. However, magnetic measurements do not show any significance in saturation magnetization (Ms), only when the content of Fe becomes 50% and 0.75% the Ms increased drastically to 15.4 and 16.7 emu/g respectively. However, with Fe 75% He and Mr reduced abruptly to half of their values, showing a ferromagnetic behaviour with low He.
