RESUMO
ABSTRACT Nowadays, iron oxide based magnetic nanoparticles are used in several science and technology applications due to their magnetic properties. Likewise, these materials are used in biomedical applications such as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic hyperthermia, targeted drug delivery, etc. In this work, the synthesis and characterization of Mg, Zn-containing ferrites with the chemical formula of Mg1-xZnxFe2O4 (0-0,9) were performed. Synthesis was carried out by thermal decomposition method (DT) using metal acetylacetonates (Mg, Zn and Fe) as reactants and oleic acid/phenyl-ether as reaction medium. The obtaining materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The X-ray diffraction patterns of the materials obtained exhibited the formation a single crystalline phase with an inverse spinel structure that corresponds to a magnesium ferrite (JCPDS 88-1935). Magnetic properties of obtained ferrites, such as saturation magnetization (Ms), remanent magnetization (Mr) and coercive field (Hc) were also evaluated by VSM. Ms increased as Zn2+ content was increased, reaching values within 20,22 to 40,03 emu/g, this increase was attributed to the variation of the cations distribution in the spinel structure. FT-IR and TEM results demonstrated that the synthesized nanoparticles have an oleic acid coating, an average size below 10 nm and morphology close to the spherical. According to these results it is possible to incorporate Zn2+ into a crystalline structure of MgFe2O4, by this particular DT method, obtaining ferrites potentially viable for biomedical applications.
