Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) and silica (SiO2) nanopowders have been prepared by the microwave hydrothermal (M-H) method using metal nitrates as precursors of CoFe2O4 and tetraethyl orthosilicate as a precursor of SiO2. The synthesized powders were characterized by XRD and FESEM. The (100-x) (CoFe2O4) + xSiO2 (where x = 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) composites with different weight percentages have been prepared using ball mill method. The composite samples were sintered at 800°C/60 min using the microwave sintering method and then their structural and morphological studies were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) spectra, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The effect of SiO2 content on the magnetic and electrical properties of CoFe2O4/SiO2 nanocomposites has been studied via the magnetic hysteresis loops, complex permeability, permittivity spectra, and DC resistivity measurements. The synthesized nanocomposites with adjustable grain sizes and controllable magnetic properties make the applicability of cobalt ferrite even more versatile.

We present a comparative study of the variation in dielectric relaxation for the additives SiO2, TiO2 and ZrO2 in cobalt ferrite. CoFe2O4 was prepared using microwave hydrothermal system and sintered at 900 °C/30 min using microwave sintering method. Real and imaginary parts of permittivity were measured in the frequency range of 1 MHz to 1.8 GHz for these samples. A shift in the dielectric relaxation towards higher frequencies for doped samples is observed as expected in percolating systems. A non-linear least square fit of the electron oscillator model is used to parameterize absorption in the samples.

A microwave sintering method was used to prepare C3S from Ca(OH)2, SiO2 and MexOy. f-CaO assay, X-ray diffraction and SEM were used to characterize the sintered samples.The results indicated that ion oxides played a very important role in C3S formation in conventional sintering, the use of MexOy as an additive was so effective in promoting C3S formation. The experimental results showed that samples were heated at an electric heating temperature(1500°C) and then further sintered with microwave for 30~60 min, tricalcium silicate could be formed with kilogram step. The new burning technique can greatly increase the forming speed of tricalcium silicate, MnO2, CuO and Ni2O3 could enhance the microwave sintering.

Fe-doped LiTaO3 thin films with a low and high Fe concentration (labeled as LTO:Fe-LC and LTO:Fe-HC, respectively) were deposited by magnetron sputtering from two home-made targets. The dopant directly influenced the crystalline structure of the LiTaO3 thin films, causing the contraction of the unit cell, which was related to the incorporation of Fe3+ ions into the LiTaO3 structure, which occupied Li positions. This substitution was corroborated by Raman spectroscopy, where the bands associated with Li-O bonds broadened in the spectra of the samples. Magnetic hysteresis loops, zero-field cooling curves, and field cooling curves were obtained in a vibrating sample magnetometer. The LTO:Fe-HC sample demonstrates superparamagnetic behavior with a blocking temperature of 100 K, mainly associated with the appearance of Fe clusters in the thin film. On the other hand, a room temperature ferromagnetic behavior was found in the LTO:Fe-LC layer where saturation magnetization (3.80 kAm−1) and magnetic coercivities were not temperature-dependent. Moreover, the crystallinity and morphology of the samples were evaluated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively.

As part of the work, a rapid cooled alloy was produced with the chemical composition Fe61+xCo10-xY8W1B20, where: x = 0 or 1 using two methods, suction in and injecting the molten alloy into the copper mold. The material was obtained in the form of 10 mm x 5 mm x 0.5 mm plates. Studies on the structure of the obtained alloys were carried out using X-ray diffraction. Obtained X-ray diffraction images are typical for amorphous materials. Using the vibration magnetometer, static magnetic hysteresis loops and primary magnetization curves were measured. The produced samples are characterized by a saturation value above 1T and a coercive field value below 200 A/m. Based on the theory of H. Kronm�ller, numerical analysis of the curves of the original magnetization was carried out. It has been found that the process of magnetizing the produced materials has defects of the amorphous structure in the form of pseudo-location dipoles and free volumes. In addition, the spin wave stiffness parameter was determined.

Lead-free (1-x-y)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-xBaTiO3-yK0.5Na0.5NbO3 (BNT-BT-KNN) ceramics were fabricated by traditional sintering method. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the ceramics are all crystallized into a perovskite structure phase. Measurements of temperature-dependent dielectric constants showed the two typical shoulders observed in the BNT-BT binary system, indicating that the ceramics are also of relaxor anti-ferroelectric nature. Moreover, it was observed that the dielectric constants decreased sharply with the increase of KNN addition, while maintained the same level when the BNT/BT ratio changed. The P-E hysteresis loops showed that the saturated polarization and the remnant polarization both decreased with the increasing addition of KNN, while the reduction of the BNT/BT ratio enhancesd the saturated polarization. The energy-storage density calculated from the P-E loops also increased with the decrease of KNN addition and BNT/BT ratio, which further demonstrated that the key for improving the energy density of BNT-BT-KNN ceramics is relatively low addition of KNN and low BNT/BT ratio.

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) thin films have been prepared on Si (001) substrates, with different calcined temperatures (Tcal=400°C~800°C). The films structure was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and their surface was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The magnetic properties were measured with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). For low calcined temperatures, the films presented a mixture of a CoFe2O4phase, with the cubic spinel structure, and cobalt and iron antiferromagnet oxides with CoO and FeO stoichiometries. As the calcined temperature increased, the CoO and FeO relative content strongly decreased, so that for Tcal=800°Cthe films were composed mainly by polycrystalline CoFe2O4. The magnetic hysteresis cycles measured in the films were horizontally shifted due to an exchange coupling field originated by the presence of the antiferromagnetic phases.

Nanocrystalline Ga doped nickel ferrite [(NiFe2-xGaxO4 (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7)] powders have been synthesized by sol-gel auto-ignition method and the effect of non-magnetic gadillum content on the nanosize particles and magnetic properties has been studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the powders obtained are single phase with spinel structure. The calculated grain size from XRD data have been verified using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM photograph shows that the powders consist of nanometer sized grain. The size of nanoparticles decreases as the non magnetic Ga content increases. Magnetic hysteresis loops were measured at room temperature with maximum applied magnetic field of 20 KOe. As Ga content increases, the measured magnetic hysteresis curves became border and saturation magnetization (MS) increased up to x= 0.3 and further increase of x leads the magnetization to decrease. The results are explained according to the assumed cation distribution.

Abstract We report the discovery of a low-temperature spin-flop transition in 5C pyrrhotite at ~155 K that is similar to those seen in hematite at 260 K and FeS (troilite) at 440 K. The 5C crystal was produced by annealing a 4C pyrrhotite crystal at 875 K to produce a change in the vacancy-ordering scheme that developed during cooling. The 5C structure is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and the stoichiometry and homogeneity by electron microprobe and SEM BSE mapping. Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS), heat capacity, and magnetization measurements from room temperature down to 2 K are reported. The transition is marked by a steep change in elastic properties at the transition temperature, a peak in the heat capacity, and weak anomalies in measurements of magnetization. Magnetic hysteresis loops and comparison with the magnetic properties of 4C pyrrhotite suggest that the transition involves a change in orientation of moments between two different antiferromagnetic structures, perpendicular to the crystallographic c-axis at high temperatures and parallel to the crystal-lographic c-axis at low temperatures. The proposed structures are consistent with a group theoretical treatment that also predicts a first-order transition between the magnetic structures.
