Abstract

Pure chromium nanoparticles with the general formula CrFe2O4 have been created using the conventional wet chemical co-precipitation process. For four hours, the prepared sample was annealed at 600 0C. For the prepared sample, room temperature X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained to verify the creation of a single-phase cubic spinel structure. On prepared samples, studies using a scanning electron microscope were performed to examine the surface morphology. The size of the particles as determined by XRD and SEM data is in the nanometer range. The range reported for the lattice constant was met. The pulse field hysteresis loop approach was used to study the magnetic characteristics. It was discovered that the coercivity and saturation magnetization values were higher than their bulk counterparts.
