Abstract
Mg1− x Zn x Fe2O4 (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8) nanoparticles were prepared for the characterization of the crystallographic and magnetic properties. The Rietveld refinement for x-ray diffraction was used to confirm that the Zn ion occupied on B-site for dopings over 0.5 doping. The lattice constant (a 0) was increased from 8.3969 to 8.4100 ± 0.0001 A with increasing Zn concentration. Mossbauer spectra of all samples were taken at room temperature and showed Fe3+ and Fe2+ valence states. The thermal properties of all samples were measured at 50 kHz and 25 mT. The heating temperature was increased up to 124 °C until 0.5 doping of Zn ions, however it was decreased down to 69 °C over 0.5 doping of Zn ions. These results can be explained by the fact that the saturation magnetization was increased by Fe2+ ion, but, the heating temperature was decreased due to occupation of Zn ions on B-site for dopings above 0.5.
