Abstract
Two-phase nanocomposites comprised of Zn1-xNixO/NiO (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) were grown by using sol-gel process with hydrated metal acetates as precursors. Thermal decomposition of the co-precipitated oxalate α-ZnNi(C2O4) yields wurtzite h.c.p. Zn1-xNixO and f.c.c. NiO together. The X-band electron spin resonance spectra provide the signatures of anisotropic spin interactions with long-range magnetic ordering at 300 K. The temperature variation (120 K ≤ T ≤ 300 K) of the resonance field HR(T) and line-width ΔHPP(T) depicts a clear anomaly across 140 K associated with the blocking/freezing effects and the contribution of additional surface anisotropy (Keff) present in the system. Both HR(T) and ΔHPP(T) follows the power-law variation δHR = (ΔHPP)n with n ≃ 2.13, as expected for partially oriented nanocrystallites.
