Title: Magnetic and structural properties of shock-synthesized zinc ferrite
Abstract: High‐pressure shock‐wave loading on stoichiometric mixtures of zinc oxide and ferric oxide powders produces partial conversion to a spinel structure zinc ferrite as shown by x‐ray diffraction. The ferrite phase is characterized by a substantial saturation magnetization plus a high‐field susceptibility. Since stoichiometric ZnFe2O4 is paramagnetic above 10 K, the magnetic behavior of the shock‐synthesized spinel demonstrates that it is a zinc‐deficient ferrite. X‐ray diffraction data confirm that less zinc oxide is consumed than ferric oxide in producing the recovered spinel.
