Abstract
In this proposed work, the strontium ferrite (SrFe2O4) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized in the presence of strontium nitrate (Sr (NO3)2) and ferric nitrate (Fe (NO3).9H2O) as primary sources by using chemical co-precipitation method. The prepared powders were kept different calcinations temperature (650, 750 and 850 °C) and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The XRD patterns demonstrated the cubic and orthorhombic phase of spinel formation and FTIR transmittance spectra confirmed the presence of strontium ferrite related molecular functional groups. Further, SEM micrograph showed spherical nanoparticles with less agglomerated structure. VSM studies revealed the hard magnetic properties with the highest saturation magnetization (Ms), remanent magnetization (Mr) and coercivity (Hc) of 22.17 emu/g, 11.807 emu/g and 5662.6 Oe respectively by VSM.
