纳米Mn-Zn铁氧体的制备和研究

Nanosize manganese zinc ferrites were fabricated by hydrothermal precipitation route using Fe₂(SO₄)₃, ZnSO₄·7H₂O, MnSO₄·H₂O as material, then some calcinated at 500 ℃ and studied by XRD, TEM, IR and VSM. The results showed that the products were spinel crystal structure and uniformly sized nanoparticles (15～25 nm) with little aggregation. The analysis of IR showed that the superficial water can be eliminated, but that was embedded in crystal lattice can not be removed by calcinating. The effect Zn content x on the lattice (a) of nanosize Mn_1-xZn_xFe₂O₄ was also discussed. The lattice of nanosize Mn_1-xZn_xFe₂O₄ decreases with x increasing; and its value deviated the standard lattice (a₀) of normal size manganese zinc ferrites. A lot of water was absorbed during the hydrothermal process owing to the large surface of nanosize particles. The change of magnetic properties of Mn_xZn_1-xFe₂O₄ with x increasing was studied: nanosize Mn_xZn_1-xFe₂O₄ particles synthesized by us exhibited peculiar magnetic properties curve with Zn content (x) increasing, Superparamagnetic behaviors of the synthesized ZnFe₂O₄ samples were confirmed by magnetic characterization, which can be explained by the difference between the distribution of the metal ions (Mn²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Fe³⁺) among the tetrahedral (A) and the octahedral (B) sites of nanosize ferrite and that of bulk ferrite.
