Abstract:A series of Zn ferrite nanoparticles was prepared by varying the concentration of precipitating agent (NaOH) in the range of 1 � 5 M. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was used as capping agent for stabilizing the particles and to prevent agglomeration. The synthesis done at low temperature was followed by a thermal treatment at 500ºC for 6 h in air. The crystallite size determined using Scherer formula ranged between 8 - 10 nm while the nanoparticles average size observed by Transmission Electron Microscopy varied… Show more
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.
