Spinels are metal oxides generally used for their chemical, electrical and magnetic properties. The occupation of transition metals in tetrahedral and octahedral positions generates characteristics of technological interest and the study of the interaction of the material with external fields is motivating and justifiable. The synthesis of spinels has commonly been using the traditional method (ceramic), but to obtain better control in the particle size alternative methods have been chosen, among them the method of combustion in solution. Objective. Synthesize the spinel by the combustion method in solution and study the phase transitions as a function of temperature. Materials and methods. The compound was synthesized (for x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) by combustion in solution, using metallic nitrates and glycine as fuel, generating an ignition around 1500 ° C approximately. Results The samples were characterized morphologically (SEM), compositionally (EDS), structurally (XRD), thermogravimetrically (TGA) and calorimetrically (DSC). The characterization was carried out for precalcined samples (without thermal treatment), heated to 750 and 850 ° C, this in order to compare the results obtained in the characterizations of the compounds and thereby identify the physical changes generated by the formation of secondary phases .esAcceso abiertoCorporación Universitaria LasallistaÁrea Metropolitana del Valle de AburráMineralesMetalesTratamiento térmicoTransición de faseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAcces
