    Abstract:
    Manganese ferrite nanoparticles (MnFe2O4) were synthesized via surfactant-assisted co-precipitation, where sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used as the template to control particle size at various SDS concentrations. The substitutions of iron (II) (Fe2+) into the MnFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles were carried out to obtain Fe(1-x)MnxFe2O4, with various Mn2+: Fe2+ molar ratios. The synthesized ferrite nanoparticles were characterized by the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), two-point probe, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The experimental Mn:Fe mole ratios of the Fe(1-x)MnxFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles were verified to be in agreement with the theoretical values. The synthesized MnFe2O4 and Fe(1-x)MnxFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles were of mixed spinel structures, with average spherical particle sizes between 17-22 nm, whereas the magnetite ferrite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) were of the inverse spinel structure. They showed soft ferromagnetic behavior. The synthesized Fe0.8Mn0.2Fe2O4 ferrite nanoparticle possessed the highest saturation magnetization of 88 emu/g relative to previously reported work to date.
