總結:Our study is focused on optimizing the synthesis conditions for the in situ oxidation of Fe particles to produce Fe@Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> core–shell powder and preparation via co-precipitation of ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles to produce Fe@Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> soft magnetic composites (SMC) through a hybrid cold-sintering/spark plasma-sintering technique. XRD and FTIR measurements confirmed the formation of a nanocrystalline oxide layer on the surface of Fe powder and the nanosized nature of ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles. SEM-EDX investigations revealed that the oxidic phase of our composite was distributed on the surface of the Fe particles, forming a quasi-continuous matrix. The DC magnetic characteristics of the composite compact revealed a saturation induction of 0.8 T, coercivity of 590 A/m, and maximum relative permeability of 156. AC magnetic characterization indicated that for frequencies higher than 1 kHz and induction of 0.1 T, interparticle eddy current losses dominated due to ineffective electrical insulation between neighboring particles in the composite compact. Nevertheless, the magnetic characteristics obtained in both DC and AC magnetization regimes were comparable to those reported for cold-sintered Fe-based SMCs.
