The powders were characterized by nitrogen adsorption (BET), XRD, Rietveld refinement, SEM, TEM and magnetic measures. The results indicate that the combustion reaction yielded crystalline powders containing spinel ferrite as the primary phase and traces of Fe2O3 as secondary phase. The crystallite size and lattice microdeformation calculated from Rietveld refinements were 36 and 0.24 nm, respectively. The micrographic analysis revealed particles smaller than 100 nm and fine particle agglomerates. The particles were approximately spherical and their size, calculated by TEM, was 29 nm. The magnetic parameters indicated that the Cu-Zn ferrite powders presented closed hysteresis loops and soft magnetic properties. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.1284-1289engCombustion reactionCu-Zn ferritesNanoparticlesSoft magnetic materialCombustion reactionsCrystalline powderFerrite powdersFine particlesMagnetic measuresMagnetic parametersMicrodeformationsMicrographic analysisNitrogen adsorptionPrimary phaseSecondary phaseSoft magnetic propertiesSpinel ferritesXRDCombustionFerriteFerritesGas adsorptionMagnetic propertiesPowdersRietveld refinementSoft magnetic materialsSynthesis (chemical)ZincTrabalho apresentado em evento10.4028/www.scientific.net/MSF.727-728.1284Acesso aberto2-s2.0-84869404150
