Three different methods were used to produce dense ZnFe2O4 ceramics with high electrical resistance – spray pyrolysis (SP), conventional sintering (CS) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The phase purity was determined by X-ray diffraction... more
Nanocrystalline, homogeneous spinel Ni1 − xZnxFe2O4 thin films were deposited on glass substrates by using spray pyrolysis of metal nitrate aqueous solutions. The thickness of deposited films was below 500 nm, but crystallite size was... more
Our objective was to determine the role of cooling rate on gas-sensing properties of annealed nano-grained nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4). The sol–gel auto combustion method was used for the preparation of NiFe2O4. To estimate structural and... more
Pure and cobalt–ion-containing nickel ferrite samples Ni1–xCoxFe2O4 (x = 0, x = 0.01, x = 0.05 and x = 0.1) were prepared by using the sol–gel auto-combustion method. To form the desired structure after the auto-combustion process, the... more
Precipitation can be applied to synthesize magnetite Fe3O4 nanoflakes in an ambient air atmosphere without using any surfactant, templates or special equipment. Magnetite nanoflakes were precipitated from only Fe2þ chloride solution... more
Using sol–gel auto-combustion method, monophasic spinel nickel ferrite Ni1–z Fe2+z O4 (where z = 0, 0.01; 0.025; 0.05; 0.075 and 0.10) gas sensors were prepared. The relationship between excessiron ion content and gas response was... more
