    Nanocrystalline undoped and strontium doped nickel ferrite particles are synthesized using sol-gel auto combustion method with citric acid as the chelating agent. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal the formation of pure spinel ferrite structure with lattice parameters of 8.329 Å and 8.332 Å for undoped and Sr doped nanoparticles respectively. FTIR spectra show two main absorption bands such as the stretching and bending vibrations of the prepared spinel ferrite. The high-frequency absorption band υ1 at 592-584 cm−1 is assigned to the stretching vibration of the tetrahedral metal-oxygen and lower frequency absorption band υ2 at 403-406 cm−1 is attributed to the vibrations of octahedral (Fe-O) modes of Ni1-xSrxFe2O4. The Raman spectra confirm the formation of cubic spinel structure. The prepared Ni1-xSrxFe2O4 samples show five active modes such as A1g+ Eg+3T2g. AC electrical conductivity of prepared samples show frequency-dependent behaviour and it obeys the Jonscher’s universal power law. The conductivity increases with increasing frequency. It indicates that the conductive grains become more active thereby promoting the hopping between Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions, which enhance the hopping conduction. The dielectric constant decreases sharply at low frequency region and attains constant value at high frequency. The magnetic measurements of Ni1-xSrxFe2O4 nanoparticles are measured at 10 K and 300 K. It shows that increased coercivity and good saturation at 10 K due to strontium doping.

  • Structural, dielectric and magnetic properties of Gd substituted manganese ferrite nanoparticles

    Gd3+ ion-substituted manganese ferrite nanoparticles with the chemical formula MnGdxFe2-xO4 (x = 0.0, 0.05, and 0.1) were synthesized by sol–gel auto combustion method. Thermal stability of the as-prepared sample was analyzed using thermo gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA) and the result reveals that the prepared sample is thermally stable above 300 °C. Structural and morphology studies were performed using powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Indexed PXRD patterns confirm the formation of pure cubic spinel structure. The average crystallite sizes calculated using Sherrer’s formula decreased from 47 nm to 32 nm and lattice constant was enhanced from 8.407 Å to 8.432 Å. The FTIR spectrum of manganese ferrite shows a high frequency vibrational band at 564 cm−1 assigned to tetrahedral site and a low frequency vibrational band at 450 cm−1 assigned to octahedral site which are shifted to 556 cm−1 and 439 cm−1 for Gd3+ substitution and confirm the incorporation of Gd3+ into manganese ferrite. SEM analysis shows the presence of agglomerated spherical shaped particles at the surface. Room temperature dielectric and magnetic properties were studied using broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Frequency dependent dielectric constant, ac conductivity and tan delta were found to increase with Gd3+ ion substitution. The measured values of saturation magnetization decrease from 46.6 emu g−1 to 41 emu g−1 with increase in Gd3+ concentration and coercivity decreases from 179.5 Oe to 143 Oe.

    Aip Conference Proceedings, 2013
    Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles have been prepared by sol-gel auto-combustion method with a view to understand the role of oxidizer to fuel ratio (OFR) on the dielectric properties. XRD study shows the formation of cubic ferrite with spinel structure and particle size increases with the increase in concentration of fuel. Dielectric properties and AC conductivity of the sample measured at room temperature are reported. OFR plays a vital role in determining the dielectric properties and AC conductivity of the prepared samples.
