Abstract

Chemically mixed Mn 1-x Co x Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles with the size about 8 nm were synthesized by thermal decomposition method.The content of Co element x varied from 0.02 to 0.08.Magnetic measurement indicated that 8 nm Mn 1-x Co x Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles were superparamagnetic at room temperature and ferromagnetic at the temperature of 5 K.Both the blocking temperature and coercivity of Mn 1-x Co x Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles increased with increasing Co addition.Mn 1-x Co x Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles showed not only high saturated magnetization but also large coercivity at low temperature, which have great potential in magnetic nanodevice and biomagnetic applications.
