Abstract

Abstract: Nano-Crystalline cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized from an aqueous solution containing metal nitrates and citric acid as a capping agent by an auto-combustion method followed by calcined at high temperature at 600 °C. The structural characteristics and single phase formation of the calcined sample is determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Magnetization measurements were obtained at room temperature by using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), which showed that the calcined sample exhibited typical magnetic behaviour.
