A method for making monodispersed magnetic nanoparticles of nickel zinc ferrite (NZFO) at room temperature by mixing together two micelle solutions. The first micelle solution comprises zinc, nickel, and iron metal salts; a surfactant; and a hydrocarbon. The second micelle solution comprises and aqueous hydroxide, a surfactant, and a hydrocarbon. After mixing the two micelle solutions, the ferrite precipitates. |

| Claim: |
1. A method for synthesizing monodispersed nanoparticle nickel zinc ferrites using reverse micelles, comprising: (a) preparing a first micelle solution from an aqueous solution of Zn, Ni, and Fe metal salts, a surfactant, and a hydrocarbon; (b) preparing a second micelle solution from an aqueous hydroxide, a surfactant, and a hydrocarbon; and (c) mixing said first and said second micelle solutions whereby a monodispersed nanoparticle ferrite precipitates. |
| Claim: |
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said surfactant in the first micelle solution is selected from the group consisting of nonyl phenol ethoxylate, sodium dioctylsulfosuccinante, and combinations thereof. |
| Claim: |
3. The method of claim 1 wherein said hydrocarbon in said first micelle solution is selected from the group consisting of cyclohexane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, and combinations thereof. |
| Claim: |
4. The method of claim 1 wherein said aqueous hydroxide in said second micelle solution is selected from the group consisting of ammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and combinations thereof. |
| Claim: |
5. Monodispersed nanoparticle nickel zinc ferrites prepared by the method comprising: (a) preparing a first micelle solution from an aqueous solution of Zn, Ni, and Fe metal salts, a surfactant, and a hydrocarbon; (b) preparing a second micelle solution from an aqueous hydroxide, a surfactant, and a hydrocarbon; and (c) mixing the said first and said second micelle solutions whereby a monodispersed nanoparticle ferrite precipitates. |
| Claim: |
6. The monodispersed nanoparticle nickel zinc ferrites of claim 5 wherein said surfactant in the first micelle solution is selected from the group consisting of nonyl phenol ethoxylate, sodium dioctylsulfosuccinante, and combinations thereof. |
| Claim: |
7. The nanoparticle nickel zinc ferrites of claim 5 wherein said hydrocarbon in said first micelle solution is selected from the group consisting of cyclohexane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, and combinations thereof. |
| Claim: |
8. The nanoparticle nickel zinc ferrites of claim 5 wherein said aqueous hydroxide in said second micelle solution is selected from the group consisting of ammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and combinations thereof. |
