Structural, optical and magnetic properties of polycrystalline BiFeO3 and Bi0.9RE0.1Fe0.95Ni0.05O3 (RE = Sm, Y, Nd) prepared by sol–gel method have been investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns reveal that all samples crystalize in rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure belonging to space group R3c. Analyzed results of both XRD and Raman scattering data show an increase of lattice distortion with co-replacing of rare earths and nickel atoms into Bi and Fe sites respectively. All samples exhibit a weak ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature with enhancement of the magnetization of RE and Ni co-doped samples.

In this study, Zn0.99Co0.01Al0.015O thin film has been prepared by sol-gel method. The structural and magnetic properties of the sample were investigated. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy analyses indicate that the Co and Al codoping can not disturb the structure of ZnO. No additional peaks are observed in the Zn0.99Co0.01AlxO and Al3+ and Co2+ substitute for Zn2+ without changing the wurtzite structure. The resistance measurements confirm that Al ions increase the free carriers concentration. Based on the above experiments we think the ferromagnetic behavior of the sample could not originate from Co nanoclusters. The presence of free carriers and localized d spins is a prerequisite for the appearance of ferromagnetism. As the result, the carriers generated by Al doping is considered a main factor to induce the ferromagnetic phenomenon.

The magnetic characterization indicated that the ferromagnetic behavior wasthe initial BiFeO3 materialwere enhanced with increasing concentration of Y3+ for (Y, Ni) co-substituted of BiFeO3. Which could beion. It is attributed to the defferentdifference of the magnetic momentmoments of Ni2+ and Fe3+, and+ ions, as well as the Y3+-Fe3+,+ and Y3+-Ni2+ super-exchange interaction. Theinteractions. The characteristics of the investigated materials, such as remanent magnetization (Mr), saturation magnetization (Ms), remanent polarization (2Pr) and saturation polarization (2Ps) continuously increase upon increasing in the range of x from 0.00 to 0.15. When x = 0.15, the values of Mr and Ms are 0.078 and 0.794 emu/g, respectively. The values of 2Pr and 2Ps are 16.58 and 27.99 µC/cm2, respectively.

Nanostructure of Y-type hexaferrite with composition of Sr 2 Ni 2 Al x/2 Cr x/2 Fe 12-x O 22 (where x are 0, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4 and 3) were prepared by sol–gel auto-combustion method. The influence of Al and Cr doping on the structural and magnetic properties has been investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirm phase formation of Y-type hexaferrite. The microstructure and morphology of prepared samples were studied by high resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) which shows the hexagonal shape for all of the samples. Magnetic properties were characterized using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The magnetic results revealed that by increasing the Al and Cr to the structure, the coercivity was also increased from 840 Oe to 1160 Oe. Moreover it has been shown that with addition of dopants, saturation magnetization (Ms) and remnant magnetization (Mr) were decreased from 39.61 emu/g to 30.11 emu/g and from 17.51 emu/g to 14.62 emu/g, respectively, due to the entrance of nonmagnetic ions into Fe 3+ sites.

Pure BiFeO3 (BFO), Ca-doped and Eu/Ca-codoped BFO nanoparticles were prepared by using a sol–gel method. The effects of Eu/Ca-codoped on the structural, magnetic and ferroelectric properties of the samples were studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals a structure transition in the codoped samples. Co-doped samples were obtained with the best ferromagnetic properties, with the largest remaining magnetization Mr = 0.20 emμ/g. The structure transition may be the main cause for the origin of improved magnetic properties, which destroys the space modulated spin structure of BFO and releases the locked magnetic. In addition, the doping of Eu into BFO can reduce the leakage current and enhance the ferroelectric properties.

Ni-Zn ferrite nanoparticles with Cr doping, having the general formula Ni0.5Zn0.5CrxFe2-xO4(x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5) were prepared by simplified sol-gel method and sintered at 750±5°C. The structural and magnetic properties of the samples sintered at 750±5°C were studied. From X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, it was confirmed that the samples have single phase spinel structure. The crystallite size was calculated from the most intense peak (3 1 1) using the Debye Scherrer formula and was found to be in the range of 29-34 nm. The scanning electron microscope images showed that the particle size of the samples were in the range 60-120nm. Quantum design PPMS model 6700 was used to study magnetic properties of these samples. The effect of Cr doping on the magnetic properties was explained on the basis of cations distribution in the crystal structure.

AbstractIn the present study pure and doped gallium nitride (GaN) nanocrystals were synthesized using gallium trichloride (GaCl3), ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) and cobalt chloride as raw materials at a temperature of 900 °C in ammonia (NH3) atmosphere. The XRD spectrum for pure and cobalt doped GaN nanocrystals shows the formation of single phase wurtzite structure. No impurity phases were observed in the X-ray diffraction pattern for 5% Co doped sample whereas secondary phases were observed when the doping concentration exceeds 5 %. Shift in X-ray diffraction peaks were observed in Co doped samples towards lower angle side compared to pure GaN, it confirms that the Co atoms introduces in to the GaN lattice. Transmission electron microscopy images were taken for pure and Co doped GaN. Hexagonal morphology was observed in pure GaN samples. The average size of the particle was found to be ˜20 nm for pure and Co doped GaN. The magnetic measurements were carried out for the Co (5% & 10%) doped samples both at 10K and 300K. Clear hysteresis loop in the magnetization curve suggest the presence of ferromagnetic behavior in cobalt doped GaN. Temperature dependent magnetization (M-T) measurements were also carried out for doped samples using Super Conducting Quantum Interface Device (SQUID) from 10K to 300K The results have been discussed and correlated to structural and magnetic properties of the materials.

Powders of Mg0.4Ca0.6Fe2O4were prepared by sol-gel using ethylene glycol and Mg, Ca and Fe nitrates as starting materials. Those powders were heat treated at different temperatures (300, 400, 500 and 600 °C) for 30 min. The materials obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The Ca-Mg ferrite with the most appropriate magnetic properties was further analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The heating capability of the nanoferrites was also tested via magnetic induction. The XRD patterns of these Ca-Mg ferrites showed a cubic inverse spinel structure. Furthermore, neither traces of hematite nor orthorhombic Ca ferrite phases were detected. Moreover, all the Ca-Mg ferrites are superparamagnetic and the particle size distribution of these Ca-Mg magnetic nanoparticles exhibits an average diameter within the range of 10-14 nm. The needed temperature for hyperthermia treatment was achieved at around 12 min.

Nanomaterials with collective optical and magnetic properties are called smart or functional materials and have promising applications in many fields of science and technology. Undoped and Co-doped ZnAl2O4 were prepared using a co-precipitation-assisted hydrothermal method. A systematic investigation was carried out to understand the effects of the Co concentration on the crystalline phase, morphology, and optical and magnetic properties of Co-doped ZnAl2O4. X-ray diffraction confirmed the cubic spinel structure with the Fd3m space group, and there was no impurity phase. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of Co-doped ZnAl2O4 confirmed the existence of Zn, Al and O, and the Co in the optimized sample of ZAO-Co-3 confirmed the oxidation state of cobalt as Co2+. Transmission electron microscopy of pure and Co-doped ZnAl2O4 revealed micro-hexagons and nanosheets, respectively. The optical absorption results showed that the bandgap of ZnAl2O4 decreased with increasing Co concentration. The hysteresis loop of Co-doped ZnAl2O4 revealed clear ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature. The as-prepared materials are suitable for energy storage applications, such as in supercapacitors and fuel cells. This work aims to focus on the effect of cobalt ions in different concentrations on structural, optical and magnetic properties.

AbstractThis study presents a preparation of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite synthesis via the green auto-combustion method. At first, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized as a core and then, SrTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared as a shell for it to manufacture SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposite. A novel sol-gel auto-combustion green synthesis method has been used with lemon juice as a capping agent. The prepared SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposites were characterized by using several techniques to characterize their structural, morphological and magnetic properties. The crystal structures of the nanocomposite were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition of the materials was analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Magnetic properties and hysteresis loop of nanopowder were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in the room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the samples showed the molecular bands of nanoparticles. Also, the photocatalytic behavior of nanocomposites has been checked by the degradation of azo dyes under irradiation of ultraviolet light.
