Abstract
The goal of this study is to evaluate the influence of the urea and glycine fuels on the synthesis of Mn–Zn ferrite by combustion reaction. The morphology and magnetic properties of the resulting powders were investigated. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption (BET), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), and magnetic measurement of M × H curves. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that the samples containing urea resulted in the formation of crystalline powders and the presence of hematite as a secondary phase. The samples containing glycine presented only the formation of crystalline and monophases (Mn,Zn)Fe 2O 4. The average crystallite size was 18 and 35 nm and saturation magnetization was 3.6 and 75 emu/g, respectively, for the samples containing urea and glycine. The samples synthesized with glycine fuel showed better magnetic properties for application as soft magnetic devices.
