Preparation of MnZn-ferrite with microemulsion technique

Nanocrystalline MnZn-ferrite particles with different morphology were prepared from single water-in-oil microemulsion consisting of n-hexanol as an oil phase, surfactant CTAB and an aqueous solution of mixed metal sulfates. A sodium hydroxide solution was used as the precipitating agent and a hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing reagent. The synthesized materials were characterized using an X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), BET surface analyzer and magnetometry.
