Effect of calcination temperature on structural and magnetic properties of polypropylene glycol stabilized nickel ferrite nanoparticles
The results revealed that the use of polypropylene glycol as a stabilizing agent significantly reduced the agglomeration of nickel ferrite nanoparticles. However, loosely aggregated grains were obtained that got separated with the rise in calcination temperature leading to the formation of more prominent and well-dispersed structures at 900 ºC. Moreover, the samples exhibited high coercivity indispensible for the application of nanoparticles in storage and magnetic devices.
