abstract

  • The effects of calcination temperature varying from 700 to 1100°C on the phase evolution and crystallite size of Ni0.25Zn0.75Fe2O4 synthesized using Sol-Gel technique have been investigated. XRD results showed that the Fe2O3 phase was formed in Ni0.25Zn0.75Fe2O4 in the lower calcination temperature. The crystallization increased as the calcination temperature increased and the crystallite sizes of the Ni0.25Zn0.75Fe2O4 calculated from Scherrer equation were found to be ranged from 16 to 62 nm which increased when calcination temperature increase. Raman results further confirmed the presence of spinel structure in the samples.
