Abstract

Novel spinel neodymium-tin ferrite nanoparticles (Nd0.5Sn0.5Fe2O4) have been synthesized by the coprecipitation method; x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer (SQUID) techniques were used to characterize the crystal structure, morphology, and magnetic properties. The spinel structure of a single phase is obtained according to XRD results. From TEM characterization results, we obtained a spherical morphology with an average of 13 nm. Magnetic measurement indicates that the nanoparticles have a superparamagnetic phase with a corresponding blocking temperature (TB) of about 360 K. These new nanomaterials can potentially be used in nanoelectronic devices, magnetic sensors, and hyperthermia application.
