Popis: | An easy method based on the chemical charge neutrality and low temperature magnetic measurements is proposed to estimate the cationic distribution of Co x Fe 3-x O 4 (0 3+ cations located in the octahedral B sites has been quantified and found to be increased with x (about 30% for x = 1.5). The results have been compared to the literature and found to be accurate with advance techniques as Neutron powder diffraction and in-field Mossbauer spectroscopy. The validity of our method is discussed: when the grain size is less than 6 nm and when the nanoparticles are in a core-shell structure the method cannot be applied. Furthermore, the dependence of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy on the cobalt content x is related to the evolution of the Co 3+ cations. Our method offers the possibility to calculate the cationic distribution of spinel ferrite systems ones they have the suitable physico-chemical properties. |
