Effect of Ce4+ substitution on the properties of Ni-Cr-Fe ferrite nanoparticles synthesized via sol-gel route
Keywords:
Sol-gel method, lattice parameter, crystallite size, saturation magnetizationAbstract
Cerium doped Ni-Cr-Fe spinel ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized by using sol-gel auto combustion method. XRD patterns of the samples sintered at 600 0C revels the cubic spinel structure with co-existence of CeO2 and a - Fe2O3 phases. Average value of lattice constant varies from 8.244 Å to 8.354 Å while as the crystallite size increases with the addition of Ce4+ ions in nickel ferrites. SEM micrographs show the well defined and mostly spherical shaped grains on the surface of the samples. The infrared spectra of all the samples were recorded at room temperature in the range of 300 cm-1 to 800 cm-1. As a common feature of spinel ferrites, infrared spectra of the present samples also show two main absorption bands. Saturation magnetization (MS) and remnant magnetization (Mr) decreases as the cerium percentage in Ni-Cr ferrite increases.
