Abstract

Materials with high saturation magnetization (Ms) is greatly demanded in modern soft magnetic applications. In this work, we synthesized partially inverse spinel ZnFe2O4 in micron scale with the highest Ms (Ms 5.05 B) among ferrites. What's more, it exhibits high Curie temperature (640 K), high resistivity, and excellent thermo-stability. Through careful analyses, including Mssbauer spectroscopic, x-ray diffraction, and x-ray photo-electron spectroscopic measurements, it was concluded that the strong ferromagnetism of the as-prepared ZnFe 2O4 resulted from its partially inverse spinel structure. These excellent properties indicate the as-prepared ZnFe2O 4 is an ideal kind of soft magnet.
