Abstract
Glycine-assisted combustion route used for elaboration spinel Zn0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, attributive this ferrite. Crystallite size, lattice constant, volume of unit cell, and density for Zn0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4 estimated. IR analysis confirms formation of Zn0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4 with spinel structure. Morphology of Zn-Mg ferrite shows formation of spongy solid. EDS measurements display the chemical composition, homogeneity and elements gradient of the as prepared ferrite. Synthesized composite has saturation magnetization (M-s), remanence magnetization (M-r) and coercivity (H-c) values of 44 emu/g, 13 emu/g and 99 Oe, respectively.
