This article reports the synthesis of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles by low-cost sol-gel auto combustion method. The synthesized CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), UV-Visible (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM). The XRD pattern inferred the formation of cubic spinel structure with average crystallite size 35.3 nm. The crystallite size was obtained in the range 32-37.5 nm in FESEM analysis. The elemental composition was confirmed using EDX spectroscopy. The presence of spectral lines at positions 465.57 cm-1 and 577.52 cm-1 associated to stretching vibrations of Co-O in octahedral sites and Fe-O in tetrahedral sites confirmed the spinel structure. The magnetic properties such as saturation magnetization (Ms) 67.79 emu/g, coercivity (Oe) 874.76 Oe and remnant (Mr) 29.07 emu/g were obtained from the hysteresis curve. The bandgap 1.409 eV was obtained for synthesized CoFe2O4 using Tauc plot from UV-Vis absorption spectra.

Manganese substituted nickel–copper–cobalt ferrite nanoparticles having the basic composition [Formula: see text] (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to estimate phase purity and lattice symmetry. All the prepared samples show the single-phase cubic spinel structure. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements also confirm the cubic spinel structure of the ferrite that is formed. The preparation of samples show these nearly spherical particles by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The magnetic properties of Mn[Formula: see text] ion substituted in nickel–copper–cobalt ferrite were studied by Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The saturation magnetization ([Formula: see text]), remanent magnetization [Formula: see text], coercivity [Formula: see text], magnetic moment [Formula: see text] and anisotropy constant [Formula: see text] first increase and then decrease with the increase of [Formula: see text] ions content. They had better magnetism than pure sample and other substituted samples when the substitution amount of [Formula: see text] ions was [Formula: see text]. At [Formula: see text], the maximum values of remanent magnetization [Formula: see text], saturation magnetization [Formula: see text] and coercivity [Formula: see text] are 25.58 emu/g, 61.95 emu/g and 689.76 Oe, respectively. This indicates that the magnetism of ferrite can improve by substituting with the appropriate amount of manganese. However, due to the excess [Formula: see text] ions instead, ferrite magnetism is weakened. This means that these materials can be used in magnetic data storage and recording media.

Cerium (Ce)-doped Ni0.5Cd0.5CexFe2−xO4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.20) was synthesized using the sol–gel auto-combustion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that all the samples retained spinel cubic crystal structure with space group Fd3m at 800 °C. Crystal structure parameters, such as lattice constant, average crystallite size, and X-ray density were estimated from the major XRD (311) peak. Bulk density and porosity were also calculated. The average crystallite size was estimated to be in the range of 20–24 nm. SEM images displayed agglomerated particles with a porous morphology. The dielectric constant (ε′) increased and the dielectric loss tangent (tanδ) decreased with rising Ce concentration. The hysteresis loop (M–H loop) was measured at room temperature using a vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM), which showed a nonlinear decrease in magnetization and coercivity with increasing Ce concentration.

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.

Barium hexaferrite BaFe12O19 (BHF) is one of the great importance as permanent magnets, particularly for recording magnetic in microwave devices. Nanocrystalline BHF powders were prepared by sol gel auto combustion method in citric acid – metal nitrates system. Hence the mole ratios of Ba2+/Fe3+ were varied at 1:12; 1:11.5 and 1:11 and with pH of 7 in all cases using amonia solution. For final formation of nanocrystalline BHF, heating process was done at 850oC for 10 hours in all mol ratios of Ba2+/Fe3+. The nanocrystallite size was calculated from broadening X Ray Diffraction (XRD) peaks using Scherrer formula. XRD data shows that BHF of ratio 1:12 has the same diffraction pattern with the ratio of 1:11 especially at higher value of 2 θ. Diffraction pattern of BHF with the ratio of 1:11.5 was fitting in exactly to the standard searching match and the highest value of best Figure of Merit (FoM) is 90% with the crystallite size of 22 nm. The best FoM and crystallite size for ratio of 1:12 and 1: 11 are 88% and 56 nm respectively. The diffraction peaks of BHF with the ratio of 1:12 and 1:11 are in the right side from of 1:11.5 since the amount of impurity of both is higher (12%) than of BHF with the ratio of 1:11.5 (10%).

Abstract Y3+ substituted strontium hexaferrites having chemical composition SrYxFe12-xO19 (x= 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) were successfully synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. The structural and morphological studies of prepared samples were investigated by using X-ray diffraction technique, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the single-phase hexagonal structure of yttrium substituted strontium ferrite and the lattice parameters a and c increased with the substitution of Y3+ ions. The crystallite size also varied with x content from 60 to 80 nm. The morphology was studied by FE-SEM, and the grain size of nanoparticles ranged from 44 to 130 nm. The magnetic properties were investigated by using vibrating sample magnetometer. The value of saturation magnetization decreased from 49.60 to 35.40 emu/g. The dielectric constant decreased non-linearly whereas the electrical dc resistivity increased with the yttrium concentration in strontium hexaferrite.

AbstractThis study presents a preparation of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite synthesis via the green auto-combustion method. At first, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized as a core and then, SrTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared as a shell for it to manufacture SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposite. A novel sol-gel auto-combustion green synthesis method has been used with lemon juice as a capping agent. The prepared SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposites were characterized by using several techniques to characterize their structural, morphological and magnetic properties. The crystal structures of the nanocomposite were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition of the materials was analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Magnetic properties and hysteresis loop of nanopowder were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in the room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the samples showed the molecular bands of nanoparticles. Also, the photocatalytic behavior of nanocomposites has been checked by the degradation of azo dyes under irradiation of ultraviolet light.

In this research SrFe 12 O 19 nanocrystalline synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method and subsequent annealing at 1000°C for 1h subjected to mechanochemical treatment in a high-energy ball mill and then re-annealing. A planetary ball mill (Fritsch Pulveristte 6) was used to mill the strontium hexaferrite powder at 300 rpm in air for 10, 20 and 40 hours. The process was studied by X-ray diffraction technique and scanning electron microscopy. The X-ray study showed that SrFe 12 O 19 phase was decomposed by milling. Strontium hexaferrite and α- Fe 2 O 3 were obtained with 10 hours milling. There were α- Fe 2 O 3 and strontium hexaferrite in XRD patterns of 20 hours milled sample. With increasing of the milling time to 40 hours, strontium hexaferrite was decomposed completely. The annealing of the 20 and 40 h milled powders at 900°C for 1h led to the formation of single phase strontium hexaferrite with smaller crystallite size compare to that of the hexaferrite powder before milling and subsequent annealing.
