RT Journal Article T1 Cation distribution of cobalt ferrite electrosynthesized nanoparticles. A methodological comparison A1 Sánchez Marcos, Jorge A1 Mazario Masip, Eva A1 Rodríguez Velamazán, José Alberto A1 Salas Colera, Eduardo A1 Herrasti González, Pilar A1 Menéndez González, Nieves A1 Menéndez González, Nieves AB The present work seeks to analyse the structural and magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles obtained by electrochemical synthesis by high-resolution transmission electronic microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS), neutron diffraction (ND) and SQUID magnetometer. The cationic distribution is analyzed by different techniques. The inversion degree determined by the most accurate measurements was 0.73(1), and the formula for the nanoparticles therefore was (↑Co0.27Fe0.73)[↓Co0.73Fe1.27]O4. The magnetic moment found from DC and Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements was 3.8(3) μB, and the coercivity was 7870 Oe at 100 K.
