Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by a wet chemical method. Precursors of MFe2O4 (M = Co, Mn, Zn) were prepared from a mixture of metal chloride and metasilicate nonahydrate aqueous solutions. The precipitates obtained in the wet chemical method were calcined to obtain MFe2O4 nanoparticles encapsulated by amorphous SiO2. The blocking temperatures TB’s were between 20 and 320 K, in this temperature range, the anisotropy energy of the particles decreased below their thermal energy. TB increased with the particle size. In order to clarify the nanoparticle formation process, differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric (TG-DTA) measurements were performed for the as-prepared samples.
