Abstract

The present work is designed to investigate the impact of shock waves on Zinc Ferrite nanoparticles (ZnFe2O4) NPs. The test material was prepared by precipitation method and shock wave recovery experiment is done by tabletop pressure driven shock tube. The shock wave induced changes in structural, morphological and magnetic properties are noticed by various analytical techniques such as powder X-ray Diffractometer (PXRD), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and the obtained PXRD results shows no significant structural changes. Switchable paramagnetic to superparamagnetic behaviour is observed during the shock wave loaded conditions. The mechanism of shock wave induced magnetic phase transition is discussed.
