In this investigation were synthesized the manganese, zinc and rare earth
ferrites presenting spinel-type structure, the stoichiometric ratio for these
ferrites were 0.5:0.5:1.9:0.1. According to literature, these magnetic material are
under investigation for biomedical proposes, solution combustion method is an
easy technique to obtain ferrites, the synthesis of some these compounds have
already been obtained by other methods reported in the literature, however,
the combustion method using of urea was not reported.
The methodology was proposed to obtain nanoparticles whit a high crystallinity
and purity, nevertheless is important to obtain these nanoparticles with a low
size distribution and controllable size, the solution combustion method offers
many advantages to cover these necessities.
In this work were synthesized Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe1.9 RE0.1O4 samples, where RE=Nd, Pr,
La and Sm. Those were obtained using urea as a fuel, the characterization
realized consisted in the structural study by XRD technique, the morphology of
the samples was studied by field emission scattering electron microscopy, these
samples were also characterized by infrared spectroscopy and
thermogravimetric assay in order to obtain more information about the purity
of the samples.
