Influence of Ca substitution on structural, magnetic and dielectric properties of Ba3Co2-xCaxFe24O41(where x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0), prepared by Sol-Gel auto-combustion method, has been investigated in present studies. The obtained powder was sintered at 950 oC for 4 hrs. in the static air atmosphere. Structural analysis of Ca-doped Ba3Co2-xCaxFe24O41powders revealed pure Z-type hexaferrite phase at low temperature. The frequency dependent dielectric constant (Єʹ) and magnetic properties such as remanent magnetization (Mr), saturation magnetization (Ms) and coercivity (Hc) were studied. It is observed that coercivity increased gradually with increase in calcium content. The real dielectric constant (Єʹ) and dielectric loss tangent (tan δ) were studied in the frequency range of 20Hz to 2MHz. The dielectric parameters for all samples show normal dielectric behavior as observed in hexaferrites. Contents of Paper

AbstractNano-sized magnesium ferrites were synthesized by the sol-gel auto-combustion method using a variety of chelating/combustion agents: tartaric acid, citric acid, cellulose, glycine, urea and hexamethylenetetramine. The original purpose of this work was the synthesis of nano-sized magnesium ferrite by using, for the first time, cellulose and hexamethylenetetramine as chelating/combustion agents. Synthesized samples were subjected to different heat treatments at 773 K, 973 K and, respectively 1173 K in air. The disappearance of the organic phase and nitrate phase with the spinel structure formation was monitored by infrared absorption spectroscopy. Spinel structure, crystallite size and cation distribution were evaluated by X-ray diffraction data. The morphology of as-prepared powders was studied using scanning electron microscopy. The magnetic and dielectric properties were studied for the obtained samples.

AbstractFor the synthesis of Ca2XBiO6 (X = Dy, Fe, Al) metal oxides with ordered double-perovskite structure, the sol-gel auto-combustion method has been used for the first time. The synthesis progress was followed by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the samples structure was investigated by X-ray diffraction. The samples morphology was studied by means of scanning electron microscopy. The influence of the nature of the trivalent B-site cation on the dielectric properties was evaluated by resistivity measurements in vacuum at frequencies between 102–105 Hz. The best dielectric behavior was obtained for Ca2AlBiO6 and Ca2DyBiO6, while the best semiconductor behavior was found for Ca2FeBiO6.

The scope of the present work is in enhancing the particle size, and dielectric properties of Mg-substituted Cobalt ferrites nanoparticles prepared by sol–gel auto combustion method. The different ratios of Mg-substituted Co Ferrites (Co[Formula: see text]MgxFe2O4([Formula: see text], 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.30)) are calcinated at 850[Formula: see text]C. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by powder XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, EDX techniques and dielectric behavior. The structural parameters were confirmed from powder XRD and the average particle size is obtained from 39 to 67 nm due to the substitution of Mg[Formula: see text] which was calculated by Debye Scherrer’s formula. FE-SEM showed the surface morphology of the different ratio of the sample. The dielectric loss has measured the frequency range of 50[Formula: see text]Hz–5[Formula: see text]MHz. From electrical modulus, conductivity relaxation and thermal activation of charge carriers has been discussed.

AbstractNano-sized BiFeO3 were synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion method and report the effect of different annealing temperature (400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C) on phase formation, morphology, magnetic and dielectric properties of synthesized bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) nanoparticles. The phase formation of BFO nanoparticles were confirmed by X-ray diffraction pattern. Further, significant increment in particle size with increasing annealing temperature was estimated by field emission electron microscopy (FESEM). Magnetization curve showed the soft ferromagnetic behavior of the samples annealed at 400 OC and 500 OC that was explained on the basis of disturbance of spiral modulated long range antiferromagnetic order of bulk BFO. Dielectric response revealed decrease in dielectric constant with increasing annealing temperature. BFO is a room-temperature multiferroic material so it is potential candidate for various applications viz. Water waste treatment, gas sensors and photovoltaic cells in rural areas.

In this work, Sr-substituted samples of single-phase spinel monoferrites with chemical formula [Formula: see text] (x = 0.00, 0.33, 0.67, 1.00) were synthesized using sol–gel auto-combustion method. In order to confirm the single-phase formation of these samples, a sample (x = 0.00) was chosen for heat treatment at different temperatures (100, 300, 400, 600 and [Formula: see text]) for 4 h. The heat treated sample was then investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and results showed that a single-phase sample can be successfully synthesized at a temperature of [Formula: see text], which is much lower than that reported in earlier literature for synthesis of same structured samples. All the synthesized samples were then sintered at [Formula: see text] for 4 h to achieve better crystallinity. From XRD patterns, lattice parameters, cell volume and XRD density as a function of Sr-substitution were calculated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the grain size increased as the temperature was increased. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results confirmed the single-phase spinel monoferrites at [Formula: see text]. From M–H loops (x = 0.0, 0.33, 0.67 and 1.00), different magnetic parameters such as saturation magnetization [Formula: see text], remanance [Formula: see text], coercivity [Formula: see text] and magnetic moment [Formula: see text] were calculated. Magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant and Y–K angles of Sr-doped Ba monoferrites were also calculated. In addition, the variation of different dielectric parameters (real permittivity, imaginary permittivity, real permeability, imaginary permeability, ac conductivity and loss tangent) as a function of frequency (1–6 GHz) has been discussed in this work. The results suggest that the synthesized materials have many advantages over previously reported single-phase spinel monoferrites.

Abstract In the present work, Ni0.6Cd0.4DyxFe2‒xO4 (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by using sol-gel auto combustion method. The structural characterization was performed by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM and EDS analyses. XRD patterns confirmed that the pure and dysprosium substituted Ni-Cd ferrites are in single phase spinel structures, while a trace of DyFeO3 appears as a minor phase for higher concentrations (x = 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20). The Debye‒Scherrer’s method and Williamson-Hall (W-H) method were used to evaluate the crystallite sizes and lattice strain. The average crystallite size was found to be in the range from 27 to 48 nm. FT-IR confirms the formation of spinel structure. SEM images show that reduction of grain size with Dy3+ content. Elemental composition features of samples were examined by EDS. The average particles size estimated from TEM analysis are in good agreement with results obtained from the XRD. The results showed that saturation magnetization (Ms) decreases and coercivity (Hc) increases with increase in Dy3+ concentrations. The dielectric constant and the loss tangent decrease rapidly with increasing frequency and then reaches a constant value, characteristic of normal behavior of ferrites. The dielectric constant was found to decrease with increasing Dy content in Ni-Cd ferrites. Ferrite sample with Dy3+ concentration, x = 0.05 show high dielectric constant, low dielectric loss and hence can be utilized in high frequency electrical circuits.
