Synthesis, Optical and Electrical Properties of ZnFe2O4 Nanocomposites

ZnFe2O4 nanocomposites have been prepared by a simple co‐precipitation method. The prepared samples were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Powder X‐ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Disperse X‐ray Analysis (EDX), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV‐visible absorption spectra...

description ZnFe2O4 nanocomposites have been prepared by a simple co‐precipitation method. The prepared samples were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Powder X‐ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Disperse X‐ray Analysis (EDX), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV‐visible absorption spectral techniques. Conductivity measurements show a transition from ferrimagnetism to paramagnetism. The enhancement in fluorescence spectra shows that there is an electronic transition to an exciting level. In UV‐Vis spectra, the peak observed at 647nm indicates ZnFe2O4 nanocomposites are a photoactive compound. The above results suggest that these nanomaterial
