Study of Soft/Hard Bimagnetic CoFe²/CoFe²O⁴ Nanocomposite.

We report an experimental study of the bimagnetic nanocomposites CoFe₂/CoFe₂O₄. The precursor material, CoFe₂O₄ was prepared using the conventional stoichiometric combustion method. The nano-structured material CoFe₂/CoFe₂O₄ was obtained by total oxygen reduction of CoFe₂O₄ using a thermal treatment at 350 °C in H₂ atmospheres following the partial oxidation in O₂ atmospheres at 380 °C during 120; 30; 15, 10, and 5 min.
