Abstract
The present work reports on the effect of slow charged ions irradiation on the structural and magnetic properties of zinc ferrite nanoparticles obtained by coprecipitation method. Results from both the x-ray and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopies confirm the formation of the spinel phase. The structural investigation using x-rays reveals no significant impurity peak and a crystallite size of 9 nm. Particle size of pristine sample is determined to be around 9 nm. Crystallinity and magnetic properties of ferrite sample investigated before and after irradiation process show that electronic excitations inside the material alter the magnetic parameters. Mössbauer Spectroscopy measurements indicate that a fluence of 3*1014 ions cm−2 Ne8+ ions of 90 keV are sufficient to induce cation redistribution into zinc ferrite nanoparticles.
