Polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Zn nano-ferrites doped by the fractional amount of Ce3+ ions were fabricated using the sol-gel method. Characterizations of the as-prepared samples were performed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and dielectric measurements. Rietveld refined XRD patterns revealed the single-phase cubic spinel structure of the samples corresponds to the space group Fd-3m. Minor shifting of peak positions towards lower diffraction angles increases lattice parameter from 8.4105 to 8.4193 Å with the addition of Ce3+ ions. , The surface morphology and homogeneity of the samples were investigated by using SEM and EDAX spectra. Grain size obtained from SEM analysis is found in the range 29 nm to 33 nm with negligible agglomeration. Analysis of EDAX spectra confirms the stoichiometric proportion of the constituents. Substitution of Ce3+ ions shows typical ferromagnetic curves with enhanced saturation magnetization and magneton number from 54 to 63 emu/gm and 2.71 to 3.09 B respectively. Dielectric measurements of the entire samples show the typical behavior of spinel ferrite. The results predict that the samples are best suitable for high-frequency region applications.

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.

The extent of BiInO3 substitution in the perovskite system xBiInO3–(1 - x)PbTiO3 and the corresponding raise in the Curie temperature were investigated using thermal analysis, dielectric measurements, x-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy. Maximum tetragonal perovskite distortion (c/a = 1.082) was obtained for x = 0.20, with a corresponding Curie temperature of 582 °C. Phase-pure tetragonal perovskite was obtained for x ⩽ 0.25. Compound formation after calcining mixed oxide powders resulted in agglomerated cube-shaped tetragonal perovskite particles, which could be fired to 94.7% of theoretical density (TD). Sol-gel fabrication resulted in nano-sized tetragonal or pseudo-cubic perovskite particles, which after two-step firing, resulted in a tetragonal perovskite microstructure at as high as (x = 0.20) 98.1% of TD.

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.

Rare earth nano sized pollycrystalline orthoferrites and orthocromites ReT mO3 (Re = La, Nd, Gd, Dy, Y and T m = Fe, Cr) have been synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion citrate method. The samples have been characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and UV-visible spectroscopy. The samples are single phase as confirmed by XRD analysis and correspond to the orthorhombic crystal symmetry with space group pbnm. Debye Scherer formula and Williamson Hall analysis have been used to calculate the average grain size which is consistent with that of determined from SEM analysis and varied between 25-75 nm. The elemental compositions of all samples have been checked by EDX analysis. Different crystallographic parameters are calculated with strong structural correlation among Re and Tm sites. The optical energy band gap has been calculated by using Tauc relation estimated to be in the range of 1.77 - 1.87 eV and 2.77 - 3.14 eV, for ReFeO3 and ReCrO3, respectively.

Several ABO3perovskite ferroelectric crystals, PbTiO3, Pb(Zr, Ti)O3, and BaTiO3have beenin situgrown from amorphous gels with glass elements, and the structural evolution has been systematically investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectra (IR), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and dielectric measurements. It is found that in the Si-contained glass-ceramic systems, Si and B glass elements are incorporated into the crystalline structures, resulting in the variation of the crystallization process, change of lattice constant, and dielectric properties. Some metastable phases expressed by a general formula AxByGzOw(A = Pb and Ba; B = Zr and Ti; G for glass elements, especially for Si) have been observed and discussed.

It is well known that sol-gel technique is a simple method to produce nano sized ceramic powders. In this study, cerium oxide doped zirconia samples, with 10 mol%-12mol% and14mol% CeO2, were synthesized by sol-gel technique and characterized. The surface morphology, elemental composition, microstructure, and phase analysis, of the sintered CeO2 doped ZrO2 ceramics were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. X-ray diffraction for samples sintered at 1550 °C for 4h revealed that the zirconia ceramics have a tetragonal phase structure. The addition of CeO2 can raise the content of the tetragonal phase, but the minor monoclinic phase exists even at the CeO2 content of 10 mol%. The effect of dopant concentration on the lattice parameter, average primary crystallite size and micro-strain was studied. Relative densities for CeO2 doped ZrO2 bulk ceramics varied between 95% and 99 %, depending on the CeO2 addition.


The pure and Mg2+ doped CeO2 quantum dot were synthesized by sol-gel technique. The prepared quantum dots were characterized using X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDX). The XRD results show cubic structure of the CeO2 quantum dots. The crystalline size (D), microstrain (ε), dislocation density (δ) and lattice parameter (α) were calculated and analyzed. SEM-EDX analysis shows the morphology and the presence of elements. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized quantum dot was evaluated based on the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) by UV-Vis spectrometry.
