The manganite systems investigated during the present work are pure La0.85Te0.15MnO3 (LTMO) and its composite with 12% concentration of Al2O3 nano powder (LTMO + Al2O3). The materials were prepared by the modified auto combustion technique. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of pure LTMO at room temperature shows that sample is in single phase with no detectable secondary phases and the sample have a rhombohedral structure in hexagonal with the space group R3c. The XRD pattern of LTMO + 12% Al2O3 indicates the clear presence of Al2O3 nano phase in the composite. In the present study, the FTIR Spectroscopy of both samples was carried out. It is clear from the Vibrational assignment for the value of corresponding peak position of FTIR spectra that no extra unwanted impurity is present in samples. A quantitative analysis of the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) data indicates that the observed concentration of elements are very close to the calculated values from its chemical formula. R-T measurements reveals that the addition of secondary phase in manganite strongly influenced on electronic and magnetoresistance behaviour. We summarise some of the salient features of the results.

Abstract This study includes the preparation of novel nano ferrite (Zn0.7 Mn0.3-x Cex Fe2O4) by using the auto combustion technique. For the following molar values, the percentage x was calculated: 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, and 0.3. The nano-ferrite was calcined for 2 hours at 500°C. The energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy FE-SEM was used to examine structural, morphological, and sensing properties. The spinel cubic structure was revealed by XRD findings. The particle distribution was shown to contain voids by FE-SEM. The testing of sensing characteristics to NH3 gas indicated that the synthesized nano-ferrite has a small response time ranging from (15.3-25.2) s as well as a small recovery time between (36-58.5) s, also has a higher sensitivity of about 72.23%.

Magnetite nanoparticles have been prepared by using sol-gel auto combustion technique. The samples are prepared by using different concentrations of fuel. Structural characterization has been done using X-Ray diffraction technique and it was observed that fuel concentration can affect the structural properties of Magnetite nanoparticles. The dielectric properties for all the samples such as dielectric constant (??), dielectric tangent loss (tan ?) and dielectric loss factor (??) have been studied as a function of frequency and temperature in the range 10 Hz–20 MHz  and it was found that these nanoparticles can be used in microwave devices because of their good dielectric behavior. © 2014 JSR Publications.

Chemically derived auto-combustion technique is employed to synthesize the Zn0.95-xFe0.05AlxO (x=00.07 in 0.02 increment) nanocrystallites. X-ray diffraction studies of all compositions revealed the phase pure wurtzite crystal structure with space group P63mc. The lattice parameters and crystallite size is changed with doping of Al attributed to the diversity in size of ionic radii. Temperature dependent electrical resistivity shows a decreased trend with the rise of temperature, confirming the semiconductor nature of compositions. The lower resistivity and enhanced saturation magnetization values in Al doped compositions correspond to the increase in density of carriers. Carriers mediated RKKY interactions are found to observe for enhancement of magnetization.

Abstract Spinel ferrite nanoparticles can be easily retrieved and utilized for multiple cycles due to their magnetic properties. In this work, nanoparticles of a ZnxCu1-xFe2O4 composition were synthesized by employing a sol–gel auto-combustion technique. The morphology, composition, and crystal structure were examined using scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The produced nanoparticles are in the range of 30–70 nm and manifest spinel cubic structure. The nanoparticles were tested for their sensitivity to H2 and H2S gases, and the Cu-based spinel ferrite nanoparticles were found the most sensitive and selective to H2S gas. Their enhanced response to H2S gas was attributed to the production of metallic CuFeS2 that manifest higher electrical conductivity as compared with CuFe2O4. The fabricated sensors are functional at low temperatures, and consequently, they need low operational power. They are also simple to fabricate with appropriate cost.

Nano-particles of (38 nm size) cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion technique using high purity metal nitrates and glycine as a fuel. The characterization studies were conducted by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The analysis of X-ray diffraction pattern suggests that, the prepared CoFe2O4 spinel ferrite possess single phase cubic spinel structure. The most intense peak (311) of the XRD pattern was used to determine the crystallite size. lattice constant and X-ray density were calculated by using XRD data. The values of lattice constant and X-ray density are found to in the reported range but slightly higher as compared to bulk CoFe2O4 sample. The surface morphology of the CoFe2O4samples was examined through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. The result of SEM analysis shows that grain size is of the order of 62 nm. The CoFe2O4 nano-particle exhibit ferromagnetic behavior having saturation magnetization (Ms) and coercivity (Hc) values in the range of 83 emu/gm and 1381 Oe respectively. The high values of saturation magnetization and coercivity gives the evidence of nanocrystalline nature of the prepared CoFe2O4 spinel ferrite.

The formation of barium hexaferrite, BaFe12O19 single phase with nanosize crystalline is very important to get the best performance especially magnetic properties. The samples were prepared by sol gel method in citric acid-metal nitrates system. Hence the mole ratios of Ba2+/Fe3+ were varied at 1:12 and 1:11.5 with pH of 7 in all cases using ammonia solution. The solution was then heated at 80-90°C for 3 to 4 hours. Then it was kept on a pre-heated oven at 150°C. The samples were then heat treated at 450°C for 24 hours. Sintering process was done at 850°C and 1000°C for 10 hours.Crystallite size was calculated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) peaks using scherrer formula. To confirm the formation of a single phase, XRD analyses were done by comparing the sample patterns with standard pattern. The peak shifting of pattern could be seen from XRD pattern using rocking curves at extreme certain 2θ. It was used MPS Magnet Physik EP3 Permagraph L to know magnetic characteristics. This method can produce BaFe12O19 nanosize powder, 22-34 nm for crystallite size and 55.59-78.58 nm for particle size. A little diference in nanosize affects the peak shifting of XRD pattern significantly but shows a little difference in magnetic properties especially for samples at 850°C and 1000°C with mole ratio of 1:12 respectively. The well crystalline powder is formed at mole ratio of 1:11.5 at 850°C since it has the finest particle (55.59 nm) and crystalline (21 nm), the highest remanent magnetization (0.161 T) and the lowest intrinsic coersive (275.8 kA/m). It is also fitting exactly to the standard diffraction pattern with the highest value of best Figure of Merit (FoM), 90%. XRD peak position of this sample is almost same with XRD peak position of another sample with sinter temperature 1000°C at same mole ratio.

Spinel type polycrystalline Ni0.6-xZn0.4SrxFe2O4 (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) ferrites are synthesized by solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern reveals the formation of spinel structure with two secondary phases Sr2FeO4 and SrFe12O19 for higher concentration of Sr (0.15 and 0.20). An increase in lattice constant is observed with the increase of Sr content in the lattice. The density of the samples is found to decrease whereas porosity increases with the substitution of Sr2+ ions. Microstructural investigation shows that the grain size increases with the increase of Sr content. Magnetic hysteresis is investigated at room temperature. All the samples exhibit lower coercivity values indicating that the materials belong to the class of soft ferrites. The saturation magnetization is found to decrease with Sr content which is attributed to Néel’s two sub-lattice model of ferrites. The real permeability of the samples remains almost constant up to a certain frequency and then falls rapidly. Improved dielectric constant is observed in the Sr2+ substituted samples. The electrical conduction in these ferrites is explained on the basis of hopping mechanism between the Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions. Bangladesh Journal of Physics, 26(2), 1-20, December 2019

Different processing conditions and the effect of secondary phases on ferroelectric properties of Bi0.5(Na0.8K0.2)0.5TiO3(BNKT) are studied. Ceramic powders are prepared by solid state reaction and different sintering temperatures (temperatures between 1075 and 1150°C) are analyzed. Finally, samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman microspectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, impedance spectroscopy, and density measurements. Through XRD patterns, the perovskite structure is stabilized; together with small peaks corresponding to a secondary phase associated with K2-xNaxTi6O13phase. Moreover, the content of the secondary phase, d33piezoelectric constant and dielectric properties increase with sintering temperature.

CuGaSe2 single crystals were grown by a traveling heater method, which is one of the solution growth techniques. The temperature dependence of the X-ray diffraction of CuGaSe2 was determined between 10 and 300 K. The room temeprature XRD pattern of CuGaSe2 corresponds to the ICDD data. No secondary phases are observed in the spectrum. The lattice constant of the a-axis increases and that of the c-axis decreases with increasing temperature. The linear thermal expansion of the c-axis calculated from the lattice constants indicates a negative value from 10 to 100 K.
