Three different synthesis methods were given
for the preparation of CoFe2O4 nanopowders. Electron
beam curing was also introduced for the enhancement
of the magnetization behavior. Main effect of synthesis
methods were discussed in terms of particle size (size
effects). X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron
microscope (SEM) and SQUID methods were used for the
sample characterization. Analogies were observed as in
case of ferroelectric and semiconductor samples in the
framework of size driven phase transitions. It was shown
that quantum size effects in cobalt ferrite samples at
nanoscale can be explained by core-shell model.
