Abstract

Summary form only given. Nanocomposites have been synthesised, by mixing in a planetary miller, of nanosized Fe/sub 25/Ni/sub 75/ or Fe and MnZn ferrite powders. Structural properties, grain size and lattice distortion were estimated by X-ray diffraction. Dispersion of the metallic particles was examined by TEM and SEM. Hysteresis loops were measured using a VSM. The powder preparation process increases the anisotropy constant of the ferrite component through the residual lattice distortion. The temperature dependence of magnetization was recorded by Faraday balance measurement, and well-defined Curie points are visible.
