Abstract
Zinc ferrite (ZnFe₂O₄) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via
a hydrothermal technique using stoichiometric ratios of zinc nitrate and ferric
nitrate as metal precursors, and sodium hydroxide as a precipitating agent. The
structural, morphological, and magnetic properties of the synthesized
nanoparticles were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). XRD analysis
confirmed the formation of a single-phase cubic spinel structure of ZnFe₂O₄
with an average crystallite size of ~7.48 nm. Morphological analysis revealed
nearly spherical and uniformly distributed, forming agglomerated clusters of
nanoparticles with uniform distribution. Magnetic studies demonstrated a
superparamagnetic behavior of ZnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles.
