Abstract
Superparamagnetic (SP) crystalline cobalt ferrite (CoFe"2O"4) nanoparticles are synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. Grown nanoparticles are annealed in air at various temperatures in the range 373 K to 1173 K to understand the variation in properties in nanoregion. Physical properties are analyzed for crystalline phase, crystallite size, particle size, shape, magnetization and relaxation behavior by using various characterization techniques viz. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Annealing effect on various physical properties of particles are investigated. Particles are used in the development of stable ferrofluid.
