Nasicon type compounds of general formula Li1..3M0.3Ti1.7 (PO4)3 (M = Al, Cr, Fe) were prepared using melt quenching method. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and infrared spectra. Thermal stability against crystallization was evaluated by DSC curve. All the compounds crystallize in hexagonal lattice with R-3c space group. The IR spectra show the characteristic PO4 vibrations. DSC curve reveals that the Li1.3Fe0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 glass-ceramics possesses the better thermal stability against crystallization. Conductivity studies indicate that the total conductivity is dominated by the grain boundary

The ferrimagnetic glass-ceramic based on SrO-Na2O-Fe2O3-FeO-P2O5-SiO2 system was prepared for hyperthermia application using aqueous aolution-melt method. Using the aqueous solution solvent evaporation, we obtained the molecular-scale homogenously glass precursor. The precursor was completely melted in a lidded platinum crucible placed in an electric furnace at 1480°C for 1h and then annealed in a furnace at 550°C for 40min.The annealed glasses were heat treated at 1050°C for 1h to obtain the glass-ceramics. The crystallization of the glass systems with different component has been systematically investigated by using XRD, TEM, as well as vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The glass-ceramics with P2O5=5.0wt% show a strong magnetic, which contains highest value of specific saturation magnetization of 24.89A•m2/kg.

A novel porous ferromagnetic glass-ceramic has been synthesized with glassceramic and hydroxyapatite for hyperthermia application. The glassceramic was obtained from a melt derived glass, and the hydroxyapatite was prepared via precipitation method with biological template (YEAST). Both components of such a mixture were sintered at 1000 °C for 1 hour in graphite. The sample was characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and magnetic measurements. This material exhibited magnetic behavior and porosity. The results show that porous ferromagnetic glass-ceramic, which saturation magnetization (Ms) of about 25 A·m2/kg and diameter of porous 30-50μm, was obtained.

Nano-hexaferrite SrFe12O19 has been prepared using the aqueous solution method. The structure and magnetic properties of SrFe12O19 have systematically been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermo gravimetric (TG), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), as well as Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The XRD and TEM results showed that the samples are composed of SrFe12O19 nano-particles which are on average 70×50nm in dimensions when treated at 1200°C for 2 hours. The magnetic properties indicated that the saturation magnetization and the intrinsic coercivity were 48 Am2/kg and 506KA/m, respectively. The aqueous solution method is generally applicable to produce the nano-hexaferrite SrFe12O19 and is proved to be a promising method for fast synthesis of nanometer materials using nitrate.
