CoFe2O4 thin film production by a sol-gel process
The effects of the annealing temperature and the molar ratio of [Co2+]/[Fe3+] were studied. Sol-gel method was used to synthesize Co1+xFe2-xO4 thin films. For the first part of this work, stoichiometric composition of cobalt ferrite ([Co2+]/[Fe3+]=0.5) and a non-stoichiometric composition of cobalt...
