Single phase nanocrystalline soft magnetic Mg 0.7-x Ni 0.3 Zn x Fe 2 O 4, ferrites with x = 0.0 − 0.7 were prepared by sol gel auto-combustion method. X-ray diffraction confirms the formation of single phase nano-crystalline cubic spinel ferrites with average grain diameter ranging between 12.9 nm to 23.9 nm. Formation of the ferrite phase without subsequent heat treatment makes sol-gel auto combustion technique especially suitable and economical for the large scale industrial production of the nano-crystalline ferrites for multilayer chip inductor applications (MLCI). Both, lattice parameter and X-ray density shows a linear increase with increasing Zn 2+ concentration, attributed to the difference in ionic radii and density of Mg and Zn . Increase in Zn content enhances the soft magnetic behavior, exhibiting linear decrease of coercivity from 122.34 Oe to 72.45 Oe, explained by increase of density with Zn addition. The maximum magnetization (Mmax)increases up to 0.106 Tesla (for x = 0.4) and. then decreases with increase of Zn content, discussed on the basis of increase of the occupancy of A-site in spinel ferrite by non-magnetic Zn 2+ ion.

Abstract Spinel ferrite nanoparticles can be easily retrieved and utilized for multiple cycles due to their magnetic properties. In this work, nanoparticles of a ZnxCu1-xFe2O4 composition were synthesized by employing a sol–gel auto-combustion technique. The morphology, composition, and crystal structure were examined using scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The produced nanoparticles are in the range of 30–70 nm and manifest spinel cubic structure. The nanoparticles were tested for their sensitivity to H2 and H2S gases, and the Cu-based spinel ferrite nanoparticles were found the most sensitive and selective to H2S gas. Their enhanced response to H2S gas was attributed to the production of metallic CuFeS2 that manifest higher electrical conductivity as compared with CuFe2O4. The fabricated sensors are functional at low temperatures, and consequently, they need low operational power. They are also simple to fabricate with appropriate cost.

Nano-particles of (38 nm size) cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion technique using high purity metal nitrates and glycine as a fuel. The characterization studies were conducted by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The analysis of X-ray diffraction pattern suggests that, the prepared CoFe2O4 spinel ferrite possess single phase cubic spinel structure. The most intense peak (311) of the XRD pattern was used to determine the crystallite size. lattice constant and X-ray density were calculated by using XRD data. The values of lattice constant and X-ray density are found to in the reported range but slightly higher as compared to bulk CoFe2O4 sample. The surface morphology of the CoFe2O4samples was examined through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. The result of SEM analysis shows that grain size is of the order of 62 nm. The CoFe2O4 nano-particle exhibit ferromagnetic behavior having saturation magnetization (Ms) and coercivity (Hc) values in the range of 83 emu/gm and 1381 Oe respectively. The high values of saturation magnetization and coercivity gives the evidence of nanocrystalline nature of the prepared CoFe2O4 spinel ferrite.

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.

In this work using sol-gel auto-combustion synthesis was synthesised single-phase magnesium-substituted lithium ferrite at different pH reaction medium. The synthesized materials were investigated by X-ray and Mossbauer methods. It was shown that the pH of the reaction medium plays a crucial role in the formation of the microstructure and properties of synthesized systems.

The BaCuxFe12-xO19 and BaAlxFe12-xO19 (x = 0.0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2) materials were prepared via sol-gel auto combustion technique. Further, the X-ray diffraction patterns suggested the formation of single phase hexagonal structure. This work is aimed to study the effect of diamagnetic and paramagnetic elements on magnetic characteristics of BaFe12O19. The results established that in the case of diamagnetic (Cu) substitution, the saturation magnetization was increased and decreased alternatively. Furthermore, it was noticed that the coercivity values of all doped samples were lower than those of undoped samples. But the replacement of Fe3+ with paramagnetic (Al) element led to a decrease in saturation magnetization and to a significant increase in the coercive field.

Ni0.6-xZn0.4MgxFe2O4were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method with Zn(NO3.) 2 •6H2O. , Ni(NO3.) )2•6H2O. , Mg(NO3.) )2•6H2O. , Fe(NO3.) )3•9H2O. , COOO2. and NH3•H2O. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysises show that the sample is single phase and the doping of magnesium makes no difference to nickel-zinc ferrite’s crystal structure; nickel-zinc ferrite has formed after auto-combustion. Scanning electron microscope analysises show that after sintered the sample’s size is more even and the doping of magnesium makes the size smaller and more even too.

Zinc substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles with elemental composition Co[Formula: see text]ZnxFe2O4 ([Formula: see text], 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) were prepared by the sol-gel auto-combustion technique using Co, Fe, Zn nitrate as a precursor where nitrates to citrate was 1:3. The as prepared powder of cobalt zinc ferrite was sintered at 900∘C for 3[Formula: see text]h. Structural, morphological, dielectric and magnetic properties were studied by x-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), high precision impedance analyzer and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The peaks obtained from the XRD confirmed samples having crystallite ([Formula: see text]32–36[Formula: see text]nm) single phase inverse spinel structure without any traceable impurity. Lattice parameters were calculated from XRD and it increases with Zn content. SEM revealed irregularly shaped grains ([Formula: see text]–0.7[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m) morphology with heterogeneous distribution. The dielectric constant ([Formula: see text]) and dielectric loss ([Formula: see text]), have been measured as a function of frequency at room temperature. The dependence of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with frequency showed the normal dielectric behavior in accordance with the Maxwell-Wagner type of interfacial polarization and electron hopping change between Co[Formula: see text] and Co[Formula: see text] as well as between Fe[Formula: see text] and Fe[Formula: see text] ions at octahedral sites.
