Cobalt ferrite was obtained by coprecipitation of iron and cobalt sulphates into acetone medium. The Co0.62+Fe0.43+[Co0.42+Fe1.63+]O4 cation distribution was obtained from Mössbauer spectroscopy at room temperature. Saturation magnetization of 74.1 emu/g and an intrinsic coercive field of 528 Oe were measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer. Using the moving Preisach model, separation of reversible (Mrev) and irreversible (Mirr) magnetization components was performed. The parameters η defined as η=(dMrev/dMirr)Hi and km the moving Preisach parameter expressed through the relation η=kmχrev, were evaluated in order to investigate the hysteretic behavior of Mrev. Additional characterization was done in order to investigate the elemental composition, structure, and morphology of the samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
