We report in this work about the inversion of the spinel structure of ZnFe2O4induced by the substitution of Zn2+by Ni2+ions. Positron lifetimes were measured in Zn1-xNixFe2O4with different concentrations (x) of doped Ni2+ions and a drastic change across x = 0.4 – 0.6 was observed, which is attributed to this transformation. The interchange of positions of the cations on doping leaves a fraction of them unoccupied and these vacancies act as positron trapping centres. Since Ni2+is smaller in size than Zn2+, defects due to non-stoichiometry are less in NiFe2O4than in ZnFe2O4. The increase in positron lifetime implies the trapping of positrons being shifted from A- to B-sites and is an indication of the transformation from inverse to normal spinel configuration. Coincidence Doppler broadening measurements supported these findings.

The series of ferrites CuCr2-xFexSe4 (x=0.10.5) were obtained as polycrystalline compounds using conventional ceramics sintering method. The stoichiometric amounts of spectrally pure elements were used for synthesis. The phase and structure determination was done using X-ray analysis. The Rietveld method was applied for structure refinement. It occurred that all samples were multi-phase, the main content crystallized in cubic, normal spinel structure.

The polycrystalline Cd0.5Ge0.5Cr2Se4 and CdCr1.9Ge0.075Se4 compounds were obtained using ceramic method. X-ray analysis was used to make phase and structure analysis. The Rietveld method was applied for structure refinement. Both compounds crystallized in cubic, normal spinel structure, Fd 3m. Besides the main spinel phase, Cr2Se3 was observed.

AbstractWe report the synthesis of Sr1-xCaxMnO3 and La0.5Ba0.5MnO3 perovskites over extended cation and oxygen composition ranges and describe the dependence of their phase stability on the tolerance factor t = t(x,T,σ) that is a function of composition, temperature, and oxygen content. We show that magnetic transition temperatures depend strongly on the tolerance factor and charge disorder while dependence on the structural disorder is less important. By reducing charge and structural disorder we have significantly increased the Curie and Neel temperatures for perovskite manganites.

Heterogeneous photo-Fenton technology has been widely employed to degrade organic dyes in wasterwater. In the present study, a composite consisting of normal spinel structure ZnFe2O4 nanoparticle and two-dimensional sheet of g-C3N4 was facilely synthesized. Different characterization technologies, such as XRD, XPS and VSM, were employed to demonstrate the normal spinel structure ZnFe2O4 formation. The composite shows higher catalytic activity for degradation of methylene blue (MB) than mixed spinel structure ZnFe2O4/g-C3N4. Simultaneously, the composite exhibits excellent stability and reusability.
