Spinel cobalt ferrite/hexagonal strontium hexaferrite (2CoFe2O4/SrFe12−2xSmxLaxO19; x = 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) nanocomposites were fabricated using the tartaric acid precursor pathway, and the effects of La3+–Sm3+ double substitution on the formation, structure, and magnetic properties of CoFe2O4/SrFe12−2xSmxLaxO19 nanocomposite at different annealing temperatures were assayed through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry. A pure 2CoFe2O4/SrFe12O19 nanocomposite was obtained from the tartrate precursor complex annealed at 1100 °C for 2 h. The substitution of Fe3+ ion by Sm3–+La3+ions promoted the formation of pure 2CoFe2O4/SrFe12O19 nanocomposite at 1100 °C. The positions and intensities of the strongest peaks of hexagonal ferrite changed after Sm3+–La3+ substitution at ≤1100 °C. In addition, samples with an Sm3+–La3+ ratio of ≥1.0 annealed at 1200 °C for 2 h showed diffraction peaks for lanthanum cobalt oxide (La3Co3O8; dominant phase) and samarium ferrite (SmFeO3). The crystallite size range at all constituent phases was in the nanocrystalline range, from 39.4 nm to 122.4 nm. The average crystallite size of SrFe12O19 phase increased with the number of Sm3+–La3+ substitutions, whereas that of CoFe2O4 phase decreased with an x of up to 0.5. La–Sm co-doped ion substitution increased the saturation magnetization (Ms) value and the subrogated ratio to 0.2, and the Ms value decreased with the increasing number of double substitutions. A high saturation magnetization value (Ms = 69.6 emu/g) was obtained using a La3+–Sm3+ co-doped ratio of 0.2 at 1200 for 2 h, and a high coercive force value (Hc = 1192.0 Oe) was acquired using the same ratio at 1000 °C.

ABSTRACTThis study reports on the structural and magnetic characterizations of free-standing bismuth ferrite, BiFeO3, nanoparticles synthesized in polyol medium. Fine tuning of the ferrite magnetic properties was achieved by adding an excess bismuth species or doping with cobalt ions, coupled with thermal annealing. Crystalline Bi1-yCoyFeO3 powders (where ‘y’ ranges from 0.00 to 0.10) were produced after annealing the precursors for one hour at 700οC. The average crystallite size was calculated to be approximately 22 nm. We found that the synthesis under stoichiometric excess of Bi species (up to 10 at.%) promoted a more complete crystallization of the material, i.e., no precursor phases remained. Furthermore, both the saturation magnetization and the coercivity of the synthesized powders were strongly influenced by the concentration of Co. They increased from 0.13 emu/g and 19 Oe to 3.5 emu/g and 1183 Oe for pure BiFeO3 and 10 at.% Co-doped BiFeO3, respectively.

Gadolinium substituted cobalt ferrite CoGdxFe2−xO4(x= 0, 0.04, 0.08) powders have been prepared by a sol-gel autocombustion method. XRD results indicate the production of a single cubic phase of ferrites. The lattice parameter increases and the average crystallite size decreases with the substitution of Gd3+ions. SEM shows that the ferrite powers are nanoparticles. Room temperature Mössbauer spectra of CoGdxFe22−xO4are two normal Zeeman-split sextets, which display ferrimagnetic behavior. The saturation magnetization decreases and the coercivity increases by the Gd3+ions.

Electrophotographic properties of chalcogenide materials are readily influenced by altering their composition and/or structure. Dark decay and cycle down of photoreceptors utilizing small particle generators are both directly proportional to average crystallite size (ACS). This paper describes a novel chemical method to control the ACS of Se, Te, and Sex Te1−x alloys. These chalcogenide materials are prepared as powders by the reduction or coreduction of SeIV and/or TeIV intermediates with hydrazine, in organic media. To control the ACS of precipitated chalcogens the reaction is carried out at the desired temperature. X-ray diffraction measurements are used to determine the ACS, homogeneity, and phase of these precipitated powders.

Abstract In this study, a hydrothermal technique was used to synthesize lead sulfide (PbS) and silver (Ag)-doped PbS nanoparticles (NPs) at different concentrations of 20, 40, and 60% of Ag. The small lattice phase changes appeared due to the shifting of diffraction angle peaks toward higher 2θ for samples doped with PbS with increasing Ag content. The analysis of average crystallite size, phase structure, and lattice constant was observed under X-ray diffraction. The value of crystallite size, volume of the unit cell, and porosity (%) were found to increase with the increasing concentration of Ag NPs in PbS. The pure PbS crystallite size is small compared to Ag-doped PbS. The optical characteristics including absorption spectra of the prepared samples were investigated and confirmed by using scanning electron microscope and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The observation of the composition showed that higher doping concentrations of Ag lead to an increase in particle size. Absorption peaks in the UV-Vis spectra corresponding to pure and 20, 40, and 60% of Ag/PbS were observed at different wavelengths of 368, 369, 371, and 372 nm, respectively. Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy peaks were found in the vibration mode of the ions due to the increment in Ag doping concentrations. These results indicate the possibility of tuning the optical structural properties of Ag-doped PbS through doping various concentrations of Ag NPs. Ag-doped PbS is considered promising future semiconductor nanomaterial, which will enhance the efficiency of photovoltaic device applications.

Cobalt sulfide thin films were synthesized from acidic chemical baths by varying the deposition time. The powder X-ray diffraction studies indicated that there are hexagonal CoS, face-centered cubic Co3S4, and cubic Co9S8 phases of cobalt sulfide. The crystallite size of the hexagonal CoS phase decreased from 52.8 nm to 22.5 nm and that of the cubic Co9S8 phase increased from 11 nm to 60 nm as the deposition time increased from 2 hrs to 3.5 hrs. The scanning electron microscopic images revealed crack and pinhole free thin films with uniform and smooth background and few large polygonal grains on the surface. The band gap of the cobalt sulfide thin films decreased from 1.75 eV to 1.3 eV as the deposition time increased from 2 hrs to 3.5 hrs. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the films confirmed the emission of ultraviolet, violet, and blue lights. The intense PL emission of violet light at 384 nm had red shifted with increasing deposition time that could be resulted from the increase in the average crystallite size. The FTIR spectra of the films indicated the presence of OH, C-O-H, C-O, double sulfide, and Co-S groups. As the deposition time increased, the electrical resistivity of the cobalt sulfide thin films decreased due to the increase in both the crystallite size and the films’ thickness.

Nanocrystalline strontium hexaferrite powder has been prepared by a new mechanochemical method in which the single phase hexaferrite was obtained via a sol–gel autocombustion process followed by an intermediate high energy milling step and subsequent annealing. The effects of the intermediate milling on the phase evolution, crystallite size and annealing behavior of the final products were investigated using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The single phase strontium hexaferrite was obtained at an annealing temperature of 800°C, while this temperature was 1,000°C for the powder synthesized without milling. It could be seen that an intermediate milling accelerates the formation of strontium hexaferrite during the calcination process. The results showed that in the milled powder, the average crystallite size of the ferrite was about 40 nm and much smaller than that of the nonmilled powder. Magnetic properties were also measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The particle morphology was then studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM and TEM).

A nanostructured disordered Fe(Al) solid solution was obtained from elemental powders of Fe and Al using a high-energy ball mill. The transformations occurring in the material during milling were studied with the use of X-ray diffraction. In addition lattice microstrain, average crystallite size, dislocation density, and the lattice parameter were determined. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to examine the morphology of the samples as a function of milling times. Thermal behaviour of the milled powders was examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results, as well as dissimilarity between calorimetric curves of the powders after 2 and 20 h of milling, indicated the formation of a nanostructured Fe(Al) solid solution.

Dy2O3-TiO2 nanocomposites with different weight percentage (0, 2, 4, 8 & 10)Dy were synthesized bysol-gel method and named as 0DT, 2DT, 4DT, 6DT, 8DT and 10DT. The structural properties of these nanocomposites are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. XRD results show that Dy2O3-TiO2 nanocomposites have anatase phase with tetragonal structure. The average crystallite size of the Dy2O3-TiO2 nanocomposites lies between 10 to 18 nm.Coupling of Dy with TiO2 shifts the Raman band to higher wavenumber side indicating the creation of oxygen vacancies in the TiO2 lattice.

The strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19) and Co-substituted strontium hexaferrite (SrCoFe11O19) were prepared by ceramic method. The milled mixture of Fe2O3, SrCO3 and CoO powders were calcined at 1100°C and pellets sintered at 1300°C in air. The crystal structure, morphology and magnetic properties of samples have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The crystal structure of SrFe12O19 was hexaferrite with the crystallite size and the lattice constants a and c of 59.6 nm, 5.8 Å, and 23.0 Å, respectively. Also, the crystal structure of SrCoFe11O19 was hexaferrite with the crystallite size and the lattice constants a and c of 63.7 nm, 5.9 Å and 23.0 Å, respectively. The morphology of obtained samples changed from hexagonal rods to discs shape and grain sizes increased with the increase of doped Co in SrFe12O19. SrFe12O19 with the coercive force (Hc) of 2,133 Oe was classified as hard ferrite magnetic. While, Co-substituted strontium hexaferrite (SrCoFe11O19) was soft ferrite magnetic with coercive force of 64 Oe. Results indicated that magnetic properties of samples such as hard ferrite magnetic and soft ferrite magnetic showed great dependence on the cobalt additive in strontium.
