Abstract
The effects of temperature, time and atmosphere on microstructure and magnetic properties of NiFe2O4 glassceramic were investigated utilizing differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer and scanning electron microscope techniques. Various compositions were studied in the Na2O-NiO-Fe2O3-B2O3-SiO2 system to obtain amorphous phase. The sample heat-treated in graphite bed at 510°C for 1 hr showed higher magnetization than the one heattreated in the air under the same condition. XRD analysis showed the presence of nickel ferrite and some non-magnetic phases such as sodium borate and silicate phases in the heat treated samples. The maximum magnetization of samples reduced by increasing the holding time from 1hr to 3 hr at 510°C. Increment of temperature to 700°C increased the amount of NiFe2O4 and maximum magnetization.
