Milling time and temperature dependence on Fe{sub 2}TiO{sub 5} nanoparticles synthesized by mechanical alloying method
Fe{sub 2}TiO{sub 5} is one type of titanate oxides which has M{sub x}Ti{sub y}O{sub z} crystal structure. It has various kinds of applications due to its electric and magnetic properties such as spintronics, electromagnetic devices, and gas sensor. In this study, Fe{sub 2}TiO{sub 5} nanoparticles were synthesized by simple mechanical alloying using planetary ball milling machine with various milling times and sintering temperatures. TiO{sub 2} and Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} powders obtained from coprecipitation process were used as starting materials. The resulted Fe{sub 2}TiO{sub 5} powders were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Vibration Sample Magnetometer (VSM) in order to observe crystal quality, particles morphology, and magnetic properties respectively. As the milling time increases and the sintering temperature decreases, the crystal size of Fe{sub 2}TiO{sub 5} phase decreases. The smallest crystal size of the synthesized Fe{sub 2}TiO{sub 5} nanoparticles was ∼ 51 nm obtained by the milling time of 25 hours and sintering at 1100°C. The distribution of the resulted Fe{sub 2}TiO{sub 5} nanoparticles was not so homogeneous due to the appearance of small amount impurities. The VSM measurements show that a paramagnetic property was observed which should be analyzed more details on the low external magnetic fields.
