Abstract

Sol–gels with different CA/MN ratios, reverse coprecipitation, and solid reaction methods have been applied to carry out MgFe2O4 magnetic material. The influence of synthesis parameters was characterized by using analytical tools, such as high-resolution neutron diffraction, a B-H analyzer, and SEM technique. Using a temperature increasing measurement apparatus, the heat generation ability was also analyzed in the AC magnetic field. Structural analysis reveals that all of the samples possess cubic and ferrimagnetic structures corresponding to the space group Fd3m and lattice constant a ≈ 8.4 Å. Fitting high-resolution neutron diffraction data indicate that the degree of inversion in synthesized ferrites is between 0.78 and 0.95. There were significant correlations observed between temperature enhancement ability and chemical synthesis methods.

Highlights

  • MgFe2O4 was prepared by various methods and characterized.

  • Crystal and magnetic structures were discussed.

  • Synthesis parameters were affected by cation distributions and temperature enhancements of ferrites.
