Abstract

Magnetic nature of iron molybdate nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using metal nitrates, citric acid and ethyl cellulose by a simple sol-gel method. Structural, morphological, optical and magnetic properties of the iron oxide nanoparticles were characterized by powder XRD, FT-IR) spectra, HR-SEM, EDX, UV-Visible DRS, PL spectra and VSM. Powder XRD results indicated that the resultant iron oxide nanoparticles was pure single phase crystalline with monoclinic structure. FT-IR spectra indicate the type of bonds between Fe and O. HR-SEM images shows that the morphology of iron oxide consists with welldefined nanoparticles structure. VSM results showed ferromagnetic behavior
