Abstract

One-step mechanochemical processing is one of the most useful and effective methods to produce nanoparticles. Prepared materials by this method show novel properties. In this work, Mg-substituted Zn ferrite (Mg x Zn1−x Fe2O4; x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) nanoparticles were prepared by one-step mechanochemical processing for the first time. In addition, bulk samples with the same compositions were prepared by conventional ceramic method, which served as reference samples. The samples were characterized by the X-ray diffraction and field emission electron microscopy. By a comparison between I(220)/I(222) intensity ratios in X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples prepared by one-step mechanochemical processing and those of the bulk samples, changes in the cation distribution of the samples prepared by one-step mechanochemical processing were followed. Lattice parameters and magnetic properties of the all samples were measured, and their behaviors were discussed.
