Zinc aluminate (ZnAl2O4) and zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanocrystalline structures dispersed into SiO2 matrix were prepared by sol-gel method. Phase formation of ZnAl2O4 and ZnFe2O4 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The crystallite sizes was determine using Scherer’s equation from the broadening of dominant peak at (311) plane. It was found the crystallite size of both compound decreased due to the decrement compositions of Zn2+ ion and Al3+ / Fe3+ ions. The crystallite sizes for ZnAl2O4 and ZnFe2O4 was calculated to be around ~ 14.16 – 11.27 nm and ~ 11.27 – 4.72 nm, respectively. FTIR analysis was done to determine the formation of spinel structures. FTIR results analysis confirmed that the formation of spinel structure where it has been observed that the bands around 800 cm-1 was associated to the vibrations of aluminum-oxygen and metal-oxygen-aluminum bonds. This characteristic was identified to the formation of zinc aluminate spinel structure. The optical properties have been done to determine the energy bandgap of ZnAl2O4 and ZnFe2O4 samples. The Uv-Visible absorption spectra have been done within wavelength 300 – 800 nm and the graph was plotted into the Tauc plot. This new dielectric material was purposed to improve the value of dielectric permittivity with addition of SiO2 where it can be applied as microwave dielectric material without changing the original spinel structures.

Abstract Different complexing agents were used to prepare Ni-Mg-Zn ferrite with the composition formula Ni0.2Mg0.2Zn0.6Fe2O4 via sol-gel method, which included citric acid, oxalic acid, egg white and EDTA. The Ni0.2Mg0.2Zn0.6Fe2O4 ferrite with no complexing agent was also prepared as a comparison. The chemical phases of samples were analyzed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), which indicated that samples had spinel phase structure. The lattice constants of samples are in the range of 8.3980 ~ 8.4089 Å. The composition and structure were further studied by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). There were two typical characteristic bands related to the stretching vibrations of spinel ferrite in FTIR spectra. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs and transmission electron microscope (TEM) images showed that the particles have the shape of spherical cube. Energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) analyzed the elements and ingredients of samples, which included Ni, Mg, Zn, Fe and O. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is used to examine further the elemental composition and chemical state of sample prepared with EDTA as complexing agent. The optical properties of samples were investigated by photoluminescence spectra and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) was used to characterize magnetic properties, hysteresis loops revealed the ferrimagnetism behavior of prepared samples.
