摘要

Nickel ferrite (NiFe₂O₄) nanostructures with a cubic spinel phase were synthesized via sol–gel and calcined at 400–800℃ to study temperature effects on structure and magnetism. XRD confirmed single-phase formation with improved crystallinity, while crystallite size grew from 10 to 55 nm. TEM showed uniform 44 nm nanoparticles at 800℃. FTIR indicated characteristic Fe–O and Ni–O vibrations. Magnetic measurements revealed increased anisotropy (1.51 × 103 to 4.33 × 103 J/m3) and magnetic moment (1.43–2.01 μB), reflecting enhanced spin alignment. Thermal treatment at 800℃ optimized the crystallinity and magnetic performance, making the material relevant for future magnetic and electromagnetic applications.
