Abstract Co-precipitation technique was adopted to synthesize gadolinium doped manganese-zinc ferrite nano particles with varying concentration 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3. XRD patterns authenticated the ferrite innovate in the as-prepared samples. The lattice parameter, crystallite size, lattice strain and x-ray density has been calculated. The crystallite size is comes bent on be around 5 nm. The FTIR spectra reveal that every one the functional groups are present within the material. SEM images are accustomed to indicate the morphological characteristics of the as-prepared samples. Magnetic properties show the decrease in saturation magnetization from 37.57emu/g to 30.15emu/g with reference to increase in gadolinium doping from 0.1 to 0.3.

Abstract In this work, the impact of nonstoichiometric substitution of Fe3+ cations by Ni2+ ones on the structural and magnetic properties of Co0.5Ni0.5+xFe2-xO4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) nanoferrites synthesized by citric autocombustion method. The cubic phase purity for sintered samples were verified by XRD patterns and FTIR spectra. The crystallite size and microstrain were deduced using Williamson-Hall method. The estimated crystallite size ranges from 55 to 89 nm in agreement with TEM microimages. Hysteresis loops traced using VSM prevailed a regular reduction of saturation magnetization with Ni substitution. Relied on the experimental data of XRD, FTIR, and VSM, cation distribution has been suggested, according to which the nonstoichiometric substitution was compensated by the appearance of higher valance states of Fe, Ni, and Co cations. The suggested cation distribution successfully explained the recorded data of lattice parameter, crystallite size, IR frequencies, magnetization and coercivity.

In this study, the effect of ammonia solution addition as a pH adjusting component on the thermal behavior, phase composition, morphology, and magnetic properties of reduced Co - B nano-particles fabricated by chemical reduction route have been studied using DSC, XRD, SEM, and VSM techniques, respectively. Chemical composition of the samples was measured by ICP. The ICP results showed that basic pH of reagent solution, derived from utilizing ammonia solution, caused the boron content to decrease. XRD results indicated an amorphous structure for both samples synthesized with and without ammonia solution. Analysis of the DSC results showed that crystallization behavior has dramatically altered, owing to utilize ammonia solution. While the sample synthesized without ammonia solution showed three distinctive exothermic peaks at 216,470, and 540°C, the sample synthesized in the presence of ammonia solution exhibited only two exothermic peaks at 235 and 470°C and one endothermic peak at 370°C. SEM images reveal that the samples have a net- like morphology and the net is formed by many interconnected spherical fine particles with sizes less than 100 nm. Saturation magnetization of the sample synthesized in the presence of ammonia solution has improved significantly, probably due to the less amount of boron.

Nanocrystalline mixed spinel ferrite of Co0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) has been successfully synthesized by coprecipitation method and encapsulated by PEG-4000 with various concentrations. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that nanoparticles contained Co0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 spinel ferrite with crystallite size of 14.9 nm. After PEG-4000 encapsulation particles size decreased became 7.7 nm. Interaction Co0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles with long chain PEG-4000 caused the crystal growth trap. Lattice parameter and X-Ray density have no significant difference after encapsulated PEG-4000. The coercivity (𝐻𝑐) of Co0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 was 214 Oe. The 𝐻𝑐 decreased after PEG-4000 encapsulation became 127 Oe, which is due to the decrease of crystallite size. The maximum magnetization (Mmax) of Co0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 was 12.0 emu/g, and decreased after PEG-4000 encapsulation to 11.7 emu/g, because PEG-4000 is paramagnetic. After the concentration of PEG-4000 increased, then the amount of paramagnetic material increase which lead maximum magnetization decrease.

Abstract The controlled synthesis of Cd0.9Zn0.1S, Cd0.89Zn0.1Cu0.01S and Cd0.87Zn0.1Cu0.03S nanostructures by simple chemical co-precipitation technique was reported. The XRD investigation confirmed the basic CdS cubic structure on Zn-doped CdS and also Zn, Cu dual doped CdS with no secondary/impurity related phases. No modification in cubic structure was detected during the addition of Zn/Cu into CdS. The reduction of crystallite size from 63 Å to 40 Å and the changes in lattice parameter confirmed the incorporation of Cu into Cd0.9Zn0.1S and generation of Cu related defects. The shift of absorption edge along upper wavelength region and elevated absorption intensity by Cu doping can be accredited to the collective consequence of quantization and the generation of defect associated states. The enhanced optical absorbance and the reduced energy gap recommended that Cd0.87Zn0.1Cu0.03S nanostructure is useful to enhance the efficiency of opto-electronic devices. The presence of Cd-S / Zn-Cd-S /Zn/Cu-Cd-S chemical bonding were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared investigation. The elevated green emissions by Cu incorporation was explained by decrease of crystallite size and creation of more defects. Zn, Cu dual doped CdS nanostructures are recognized as the possible and also efficient photo-catalyst for the removal dyes like methylene blue. The enhanced photo-catalytic behaviour of Zn, Cu dual doped CdS is the collective consequences of high density electron-hole pairs creation, enhanced absorbance in the visible wavelength, surface area enhancement, reduced energy gap and the formation of novel defect associated states. The stability measurement signified that Cu doped Cd0.9Zn0.1S exhibits superior dye removal ability and better stability even after 6 repetitive runs with limited photo-corrosion.

This paper presents a novel mechanochemical synthesis technique for making nano-structured Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) ferroelectric material without annealing treatment in a much shorter time and at much lower temperature than those reported in the literature, by using the starting precursors MgO, PbO, and Nb2O5. Specimens of various milling time (3-6h) are characterized from XRD patterns to track and analyze the synthesizing procedure of this mechanochemical processing route. The time used to make the desired PMN powders varies with different milling power. When the constituent oxides were mechanically activated at 1.8KW milling power for 6h, the perovskite phase PMN powder was obtained; while it was formed when milling at 3KW for only 3h. Typical SEM images of the as-received PMN powders show that the powders are aggregated of nano-particles of about 100nm in size.
