Abstract
Methods of X-ray phase analysis (XRPA) and differential thermogravimetry in a magnetic field (DTG(M)) are used to investigate the phase composition of Li0.5(1−x)Fe2.5−0.5x Zn x O4 (x Zn = 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6) ferrite spinels synthesized at a temperature of 700 °C during 120 min by thermal annealing of a reagent mixture in a furnace and heating of the mixture using high-power beam of accelerated electrons with energy of 2.4 MeV. Thermal ferritization of all compositions leads to the formation of phases whose composition is close to simple monoferrites. Lithium–zinc ferrite phases are formed during annealing under electron irradiation. It is concluded that the rate of controllable diffusion interaction of monoferrite phases significantly increases under conditions of high-power electron irradiation.
