Abstract

Zinc ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized using zinc nitrate, ferric nitrate, and glycine via the combustion method. The synthesized zinc ferrite nanoparticles were obtained after the calcination at 400 o C for 1 h. The obtained zinc ferrite nanoparticles are characterized using various techniques. The reflectance and optical properties were investigated using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The band gap and color analysis of the obtained zinc ferrite nanoparticles were exanimated.
