Abstract

A powdery material Mg(Fe0.8Ga0.2)2O4 has been prepared by combusting a gel containing magnesium(II), iron(III), and gallium(III) nitrates and a glycine–starch mixture. The gel produced during the synthesis has been studied by thermal analysis (TGA/DSC) and IR spectroscopy. This mixture has been shown to be efficient to produce a homogeneous nanosized powderlike material Mg(Fe0.8Ga0.2)2O4. The morphology and properties of ceramic samples are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, neutron diffraction, and vibrational magnetometry.
