Abstract :
Cobalt-ferrite magnetic nanoparticles of particle size/crystallite size of about 50 nm were prepared by the coprecipitation method. Structural analysis of the particles was done by XRD measurement and the magnetic hysteresis measurements were performed by a VSM. All the measurements were performed at room temperature. The crystallite size of particles was estimated by using Debye Scherrer’s formula. The synthesized particles were annealed at different temperatures to study the variation of particle size with annealing temperature. The crystallinity of the particles was improved with the increase in annealing temperature. The dependence of the coercivity of the nanoparticles with particle size was also investigated in this article.

Key-Words / Index Term :
