Abstract

This study investigates the transformation of ferromagnetic properties of Fe₃O₄ to \(\alpha\)-Fe₂O₃ through the polyol process and subsequent heat treatment. Structural and magnetic changes were analyzed via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), revealing significant phase transitions and magnetic property variations.
