Effect of Sm3+ doped Ni-Cd Nano ferrite synthesis and structural characterization by citrate-gel auto combustion method

Ferrite nano particles of basic composition Ni Cd Smx Fe2-xO4(0.0 ≤ x 0.05, X=0.01) where synthesized by citrate-gel auto combustion method have investigated. X-ray diffraction profile indicates that the samples are in single phase structure for sample without Sm content. For with ions, some peaks appeared which belongs to orthorhombic further, XRD been used calculated lattice parameter, density and grain size. The particle size starting powder varied from 30 nm 45 nm. values parameter (a) decreased (dx) increased increase Morphology prepared was studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM). elemental analysis all Ni-Cd-Sm ferrite different compositions analyzed Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). observed results can be explained on basis crystal
