Fe0.8Mn1.54Ni0.66O4 nano-ceramics have been successfully prepared by sol-gel auto combustion. The microstructure and phase of these samples was observed by using Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Diffraction. The diameters of Fe0.8Mn1.54Ni0.66O4 ceramic particles pre-fired at 800℃ range from 52 to 83nm. The powder sintered at above 1050℃ has the compact and uniform spinel structure. We have investigated the electrical characteristics of these thermistors at different sintering temperatures and concluded that the sample sintered at 1200℃ is sufficient to form the appropriate spinel phase. Moreover, the thermistor annealed for 72h at 450~550℃ in N2 atmosphere has the drift value of <0.7%.

Spinel chromite nanoparticles are prospective candidates for a variety of applications from catalysis to depollution. In this work, we used a sol–gel auto-combustion method to synthesize spinel-type MgCr2O4 nanoparticles by using fructose (FS), tartaric acid (TA), and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as chelating/fuel agents. The optimal temperature treatment for the formation of impurity-free MgCr2O4 nanostructures was found to range from 500 to 750 °C. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to determine the lattice vibrations of the corresponding chemical bonds from octahedral and tetrahedral positions, and the optical band gap was calculated from UV–VIS spectrophotometry. The stabilization of the spinel phase was proved by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. From field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), we found that the size of the constituent particles ranged from 10 to 40 nm. The catalytic activity of the as-prepared MgCr2O4 nanocrystals synthesized by using tartaric acid as a chelating/fuel agent was tested on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. In particular, we found that the nature of the chelating/fuel agent as well as the energy released during the auto-combustion played an important role on the structural, optical, and catalytic properties of MgCr2O4 nanoparticles obtained by this synthetic route.

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.

In this study, Co0.5Ni0.5-xMnxFe2O4 (x=0, 0.15, 0.25, 0.35, 0.5) ferrite nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel auto-combustion method. Structural, magnetic and morphology properties of obtained nanoparticles were investigated with X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM), respectively. The XRD results show that the most dominant peaks for samples is related to the Spinel phase. Crystalline size using Scherrer's equation for different values of x were obtained between 44 to 64 nm. VSM results showed that the saturation magnetization and coercivity values changed with increasing Mn. TEM images obtained results are in good agreement with the XRD results.

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.

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.

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.

Sm (Co or/and Zn) substituted nanocrystalline barium hexaferrites were synthesized by the sol–gel auto-combustion process, then X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to characterize and discuss the phase composition and the magnetic properties of the as-prepared barium hexaferrites. All results showed that the phase composition and magnetic properties were closely related to the doping elements and x. Owing to hyperfine field, canting spin, magnetic dilution and impurity phases, the saturation magnetization (Ms) of all samples increased firstly, and then decreased. Considering the crystallization, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and the ions occupancy, the doping elements and x critically affected the coercivity (Hc). Compared the magnetic properties of all the samples, it is concluded that Zn 2+ and Co 2+ influenced each other and Zn 2+ occupied 4f2 sites prior to Co 2+, which led to the increase of Ms and the decrease of Hc.

Fabrication of Fe2TiO5 pellet/disk ceramics-based NTC thermistor has been performed, in order to know the effect of sintering tempertures on the electrical characteristic of 1.0 mole % MnO2 doped-Fe2TiO5 ceramics. These ceramics were made by mixing commercial powders of Fe2O3, TiO2 and MnO2 with proportional composition to produce Fe2TiO5 based ceramic. The raw pellet was sintered at 1100 °C, 1200 °C and 1300 °C temperature for 2 hours in air. Analysis of the microstructure and crystal structure were performed by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. XRD pattern showed that all of Fe2TiO5 ceramics made ​​at various sintering temperatures are orthorhombic The SEM images showed that the grain size of pellet ceramics increase with increasing sintering temperatures. From electrical data that was measured at temperature 30-300 °C, showed that the addition of sintering temperature decreased the thermistor constant (B), activation energy (Ea), thermistor sensitivity (α) and room temperature resistance (RRT). Thermistor constant (B) of the ceramics was relatively big of 5778 K to 6707 K. The value of B indicated that ceramics made in this work fit the market requirement for NTC thermistor.
