Nanoparticles of undoped and copper-doped cobalt ferrite Co1−xCuxFe2O4 at very low dopant concentrations (x = 0; 0.02; 0.04; 0.06; 0.08) were successfully synthesized by pyrolysis of the corresponding hetero metal octanoate precursors obtained via coprecipitation using the octanoate ligand as precipitating agent. The precursors were then characterized by FTIR, ICP-AES and TG-DTA analyses and the results reveal the formation of a copper-cobalt-iron hydroxooctanoate represented by the formula [Co1−xCuxFe2(C8H15O2)6(OH)2·2H2O]. The decomposition products obtained upon pyrolysis in air at 400 °C for 3 h were characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS and VSM analyses. FTIR and XRD analyses showed the formation of a single phase mixed spinel ferrite while TEM analysis showed that the particles have a spherical shape with a mean size of 20 nm and form spherical agglomerates with sizes reaching 500 nm in some cases as the SEM images show. The chemical states of the metallic species in the samples were revealed by XPS to be Cu2+, Co2+ and Fe3+. These results combined with XRD confirmed the mixed spinel structure, Co1−xCuxFe2O4 in which Cu2+ ions substitute Co2+ ions in tetrahedral sites for x lower than 0.06 and in octahedral sites for x between 0.06 and 0.08. Magnetic parameters such as saturation magnetization (Ms), coercivity (Hc), remanent magnetization (Mr), magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant (K) and reduced magnetization (Mr/Ms), obtained from magnetic hysteresis loops measured at room temperature, are in agreement with this mixed spinel structure and also indicate that these materials are ferromagnetic and could be good candidates for applications in biomedicine and in microwave devices.
