✦ Synopsis
Floral-like microparticle of a binary cobalt iron cyclotetraphosphate CoFeP 4 O 12 was synthesized through solid phase reaction using cobalt carbonate, iron metal and phosphoric acid with further calcinations at the temperature of 500 °C. The XRD and FTIR results indicate that the prepared CoFeP 4 O 12 has a pure monoclinic phase without the presence of any phase impurities. The floral-like microparticle and superparamagnetic behavior of the synthesized CoFeP 4 O 12 are important properties for specific applications, which were revealed by SEM and VSM techniques, respectively. The dominant features of the synthesized CoFeP 4 O 12 in this work are compared with M 2 P 4 O 12 (M = Co and Fe) and CoFeP 4 O 12 reported in our previous works.
