Synthesis and Characterization of Iron doped Zinc Oxide Nano-Particles

Magnetic nanoparticles are of great interest because of their applications in various fields such as memory storage devices and biomedical imaging. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) of Iron doped Zinc Oxide (Zn$_{\mathrm{1-x}}$Fe$_{\mathrm{x}}$O) with different doping concentration (x $=$ 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.09) were effectively synthesized via the co-precipitation method. The optical properties of the samples were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-visible spectroscopy. The thermal characterizations of the synthesized nanoparticles were carried out using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results obtained will be presented.
