RESUMO

Cobalt ferrite composite thin films, CoFe2O4/SiO2, were prepared by sol-gel process, using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as a precursor for silica, and metallic nitrates as precursors for ferrite. The obtained dip-coated films thermally treated at 550, 750, and 950 ºC were transparent, homogeneous and adherent. Their magnetic properties were measured from 2.5 K to 300 K using a SQUID magnetometer. Superparamagnetic behaviour was observed at room temperature and below a blocking temperature appears with coercivity values increasing with annealing temperature.
