Abstract

Silver nanoferrite and nanochromite (Ag2Fe2O4, Ag2Cr2O4) were successfully prepared by the Flash method. The morphology was illustrated using Atomic force microscopy (AFM) to confirm that the particle size of the investigated samples in the nanoscale range. Also, the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis was studied to assure the formation of the investigated samples. Moreover, the elastic properties estimated from FTIR were studied in the present work to study the behavior of the samples. The Elastic properties were investigated from FTIR measurement and showed that the interatomic bonding of the atoms of Ag2Cr2O4 nanoparticles has more strength than that of Ag2Fe2O4 nanoparticles. The optical properties were studied using some models to help in tailoring and modeling the properties of the investigated samples to be used in optoelectronic devices. Moreover, the nonlinear optical susceptibility was calculated and showed that Ag2Cr2O4 nanoparticles are more suitable to be applied as an optical switch device. As a result of all previous analyses, the applications of this study promote the use of Ag2Fe2O4 nanoferrite and Ag2Cr2O4 nanochromite in many technological applications.
