Background: Rare earth materials are known for its salient electrical insulation properties with high values of electrical resistivity. It is expected that the substitution of rare earth ions into spinel ferrites could significantly alter its magnetic properties. In this work, the effect of the addition of Samarium ions on the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of Ni0.5Zn0.5SmxFe2-xO4 (x=0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) synthesized using sol-gel auto combustion technique was investigated. Methods: A series of Samarium-substituted Ni-Zn ferrite nanoparticles (Ni0.5Zn0.5SmxFe2-xO4 where x=0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion technique. Structural, morphological and magnetic properties of the samples were examined through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) measurements. Results: XRD patterns revealed single-phased samples with spinel cubic structure up to x= 0.04. The average crystallite size of the samples varied in the range of 41.8 – 85.6 nm. The prepared samples exhibited agglomerated particles with larger grain size observed in Sm-substituted Ni-Zn ferrite as compared to the unsubstituted sample. The prepared samples exhibited typical soft magnetic behavior as evidenced by the small coercivity field. The magnetic saturation, Ms values decreased as the Sm3+ concentration increases. Conclusion: The substituted Ni-Zn ferrites form agglomerated particles inching towards more uniform microstructure with each increase in Sm3+ substitution. The saturation magnetization of substituted samples decreases with the increase of samarium ion concentration. The decrease in saturation magnetization can be explained based on weak super exchange interaction between A and B sites. The difference in magnetic properties between the samples despite the slight difference in Sm3+ concentrations suggests that the properties of the NiZnFe2O4 can be ‘tuned’, depending on the present need, through the substitution of Fe3+ with rare earth ions.

Higher magnetic Mn doped Zn-Cr oxide nanoparticles with general compositional formula MxZn0.95-xCr0.05O have been synthesized by using sol-gel auto combustion technique. Room temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique has been employed to study the structural and microstructural parameters of the as-prepared samples. XRD analysis confirms the phase purity and hexagonal wurtzite structure of all the samples. Replacement of Zn2+ ions by Mn2+ ions shifts peak positions slightly towards the lower angles which in turn expands the lattice lengths ‘a’ from 3.2487 to 3.2528 Å and ‘c’ from 5.2043 to 5.2118 Å. Crystallite size obtained from Scherrer equation was confirmed by Williamson – Hall (W-H) and size – strain plot methods (SSP). Both W-H and SSP methods reveals the tensile type strain for undoped sample and comprehensive type strain for Mn2+ doped samples. Magnetic properties were investigated by using vibrating sample magnetometer. Diluted ferromagnetic behaviour is observed for all the samples and saturation magnetization (MS) increases from 0.0514 to 0.1163 emu/gm. Two-probe technique was employed to understand the dielectric behaviour of the samples as a function of frequency. At lower frequency region, both dielectric constant () and dielectric loss tangent (tan ) shows higher values and decreases with the increasing applied frequency.

Abstract This study includes the preparation of novel nano ferrite (Zn0.7 Mn0.3-x Cex Fe2O4) by using the auto combustion technique. For the following molar values, the percentage x was calculated: 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, and 0.3. The nano-ferrite was calcined for 2 hours at 500°C. The energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy FE-SEM was used to examine structural, morphological, and sensing properties. The spinel cubic structure was revealed by XRD findings. The particle distribution was shown to contain voids by FE-SEM. The testing of sensing characteristics to NH3 gas indicated that the synthesized nano-ferrite has a small response time ranging from (15.3-25.2) s as well as a small recovery time between (36-58.5) s, also has a higher sensitivity of about 72.23%.

In this work, we studied the structural and magnetic properties of multiferroic La1-xYxFeO3 perovskites, (x= 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.25 and 0.3) which synthesized through Sol-gel auto-combustion technique using a citric acid as a fuel. The room temperature synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the all the synthesized samples consisted of the polycrystalline orthorhombic structure perovskites(space group pnma), and tolerance factor confirmed the phase stability of the prepared perovskite system.The Williamson-Hall plot based on synchrotron XRD data were employed to estimate the average particle diameter and varies from 18 nmto 27.8 nm.For a deeper insight of the crystal structure, high resolution transmission microscopy imaging (HRTEM) was performed. The estimated values of crystallite size from HRTEM and synchrotron XRD data were coincident. Many of crystallographic parameters and electron density measurements were calculated by Rietveld refinement of synchrotron XRD data. La1-xYxFeO3 perovskite crystalsarecanted antiferromagnets with a weak ferromagnetism in room temperature.The magnetic properties were gotten through analyzing the magnetization versus temperature M(T) and M(H) hysteresis loop which characterized by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The molecular structure showed the decrease of the tilting of the octahedra <FeO6> with increasing Y content trying to strengthen the ferromagnetic character. Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED) patterns of the investigated samples exhibited spotty ring patterns,confirming the polycrystalline character.The orthoferrite La1-xYxFeO3 crystalsare a promising candidate for optical device applications in broad temperature range and high power system.

Samples of Barium Hexaferrite doped with Titanium BaFe12−xTixO19 with (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) were synthesized by the sol–gel auto-combustion technique. The powdered samples were divided into two parts, one sintered at 850 °C and another sintered 1000 °C for 1 h and samples were characterized by different experimental techniques. The XRD patterns confirmed the presence of M-type hexaferrite phase. The sizes of the crystallites were calculated by the Scherer equation, and the sizes were in the range of 27–42 nm. Using the hysteresis loops, the saturation magnetization Ms, remanence (Mr), the relative ratio (Mr/Ms), and the coercivity (Hc) were calculated. The study showed that the saturation magnetization (Ms) and remanence (Mr) decreased with increasing titanium concentration and were in the range from 44.65–17.17 emu/g and 23.1–7.7 emu/g, respectively. The coercivity (Hc) ranged between 0.583 and 4.51 (kOe). The magnetic properties of these Barium Hexaferrite doped with Titanium indicated that they could be used in the recording equipment and permanent magnets.

Magnetite nanoparticles have been prepared by using sol-gel auto combustion technique. The samples are prepared by using different concentrations of fuel. Structural characterization has been done using X-Ray diffraction technique and it was observed that fuel concentration can affect the structural properties of Magnetite nanoparticles. The dielectric properties for all the samples such as dielectric constant (??), dielectric tangent loss (tan ?) and dielectric loss factor (??) have been studied as a function of frequency and temperature in the range 10 Hz–20 MHz  and it was found that these nanoparticles can be used in microwave devices because of their good dielectric behavior. © 2014 JSR Publications.
