Abstract
Ultrafine Ni-Zn ferrites, Ni x Zn1-x Fe204, have been prepared by the thermal decomposition/combustion of novel solid solution precursors of the type, (N2H5)3N1-x Zn1-x Fe2(N2H3C00)9 · 3H20 wherex = 0.2 to 0.8. The novelty of the precursors being their low temperature, exothermic, gas producing self-sustained decomposition. Fine particle nature of the ferrites has been indicated by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and surface area measurements. Fine particle Ni-Zn ferrites sinter at 1000° C, 24 h to achieve almost 99% theoretical density.
