Magnetic magnesium ferrite nanoparticles have been synthesized through an auto combustion method. The prepared ferrite is characterized by X-ray diffraction, particle size analyzer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry and Mossbauer spectroscopy. It is confirmed that the prepared sample has a cubic structure in nature through XRD. The crystalline size is determined by the Debye Scherrer formula, results are confirmed with particle size analyzer data. The FTIR spectra are used to calculate the force constant of tetrahedral sites and octahedral sites. The morphology and the quantitative analysis of the synthesized sample are studied by SEM and EDAX. The prepared nanoparticles' magnetic properties have been studied at room temperature by means of hysteresis loop measurement using vibrating sample magnetometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The value of saturation magnetization, coercive field, and cation distribution of magnesium ferrite is obtained from the magnetic measurements. © 2021 Deuton-X Ltd. All rights reserved.
