Structural and magnetic susceptibility characteristics of Mn1−xCuxFe2O4 (x = 0-0.4) nanoparticles synthesized by self-assembling confined media of reverse micelle

▶ There are several techniques including sol-gel and co-precipitation which could be employed in order to fabricate fine ferrite particles. However the drawback of the mentioned process is relatively high sintering temperature. ▶ To the best of our knowledge no studies on the preparation of Mn1−xCuxFe2O4 ferrite at a low temperature have been reported. With this view in mind, current interest is to make Mn1−xCuxFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles using reverse micelle technique at a low temperature. ▶ Magnetic properties were evaluated and it is found that there is strong interaction between nanoparticles.
