Abstract
The aim of the present work is to study the magnetic properties of ZnO(Fe) nanocrystalline samples prepared by two methods of synthesis. We have used the microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis and traditional wet chemistry method followed by calcination. The detailed structural characterization was performed by means of X-ray diffraction and micro-Raman spectroscopy measurements. The dynamic magnetic properties were studied by means of AC susceptibility χ. The measurements were performed at small AC magnetic field with amplitude not exceeding 5Oe and different frequency values (from 7Hz to 9970Hz). The AC susceptibility maxima have been found for in-phase susceptibility Re(χ) and for out of phase susceptibility Im(χ). We analyzed the observed frequency dependence of the peak temperature in the AC susceptibility curve using the empirical parameter Φ that is a quantitative measure of the frequency shift and is given by the relative shift of the peak temperature per decade shift in frequency, as well as Vogel–Fulcher law.
