Abstract :
Ni0.5Cux/2Zn(0.5-x/2)Fe2O4 (where x(= 0.3) , 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6) ferrites were prepared at different chemical reaction temperatures (100 °C, 125 °C, and 150 °C) and then were further sintered using domestic microwave oven. X-ray diffraction revealed the ferrite phase formation and proved that chemical reaction temperature affects the structural properties. Magnetic properties, such as saturation magnetization, coercivity, Curie temperature, and normalized susceptibility were found to be dependent not only on composition, but also on chemical reaction temperature. Grain size was found to be in range of 41.866-200.909 nm.
