“…Moreover, the prefired powder consists usually of many individual phases that react with each other to form the desired spinel phase during the final firing step [18]. In order to overcome the difficulties arising from the ceramic method and in order to prepare soft ferrites with excellent electromagnetic performance, in recent years, due to the rapid development of nanotechnology, several methods including combinatorial synthesis and high throughput screening method [19], mechanochemical processing [20,21], and numerous wet chemical methods including the coprecipitation method, the hydrothermal process, sol-gel synthesis, and the micro-emulsion approach, have been proposed to synthesize Mn-Zn ferrite nanoparticles [18, and references therein], but nanoparticles were rarely used to develop MnZn soft ferrite core further in these papers. Moreover, it is also found that the high-permeability and low power loss can be achieved using nanocrystalline ferrites in place of micro-magnetic ferrites [22].…”
