Structural, Thermal and Morphological studies of the Lanthanum Ferrite nanopartilces by Amine Combustion Synthesis Method using Hexamine

Rare earth metal oxide perovskite structure Lanthanum ferrite nanocrystalline powder was prepared by solution combustion synthesis using Hexamine (HMTA) as a fuel and the fuel to oxidizer ratio is taken as a one (ψ = 1). The lanthanum ferritenanocrystallite was characterized by X-ray Diffraction, thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analyzer and Scanning electron microscopy with Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer, FTIR and vibrating sample magnetometer. As-prepared nanopowder is observed as orthorhombic structure, thermal stability and morphology studies with elements contain the analysis of the material indicates a fabulous LaFeO₃ material is formed. The magnetic properties shows low coercivity and low saturation magnetization for the LaFeO₃ nanoparticles.
