| Abstract | Many materials exhibit unique properties when reduced to nano-scale, mainly due to increased surface to volume ratio. These unique properties enable nanomaterials to be more beneficial from application view point. Nickel oxide has emerged as a classic example of a class of nano-materials whose structural, electrical and magnetic properties are of great interest. In the present study, we mainly focus on the preparation of nickel oxide nano-crystallites by a novel low cost sol-gel auto-combustion technique. Owing to the importance of fuel reagents in this material’s synthesis method, various molar concentrations of citric acid have been employed to achieve the phase pure samples. X-ray diffraction revealed that prepared sample consisted of nickel oxide without any impurity. Sherer’s formula confirmed that the nickel oxide samples consisted of crystallites in the nano-meter range. Dielectric and magnetic properties were investigated using LCR meter and vibrating sample magnetometer, respectively. |
