Cu and Ni ferrites as the semiconductor materials were synthesized by a microwave sol-gel auto-combustion method. Two cationic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), were applied and the influence of surfactants on the properties of the Cu and Ni ferrite particles was studied. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern,...

Nickel ferrites have been extensively studied due to their numerous applications in electronic devices, microwave adsorbents, corrosion protectors, magnetic fluids and catalysts [1-5], among others. Nickel ferrite is a soft material with inverted spinel with the tetrahedral site (A) occupied by Fe and the octahedral site occupied by Fe and Ni. It is applied to devices that require easy magnetiz...

The influence of various cations ranging from alkali metals to transition metals according to the periodic table were discussed. The ferrites used were Ni ferrite, Mg ferrite and Zn ferrite having different cation distributions in the spinel lattice. Cations having appropriate ionic radii and valencies are soluble in ferrite. Several additives formed other phase in addition to the spinel phase....

Mossbauer spectra of jacobsite have been recorded at temperatures of 4.2, 125, 180, 240 and 300 K and with an external magnetic field of 60 kOe applied parallel to the incident radiation at 4.2 K. The results show the presence of two different magnetic hyperfine interactions associated with the iron nuclei. Spectra of samples in external magnetic fields indicate the same sign for the magnetic h...

Co0.7Me0.3Fe2O4 (Me = Zn, Ni and Mn) were synthesized through co-precipitation method. Cationic distribution for these ferrites was proposed on the basis of magnetization measurements and available occupancy of the substituent ions into the spinel lattice. Theoretical lattice constant calculations confirm the proposed cationic distributions were the correct ones.

A study of the dependence of elastic behaviour of polycrystalline mixed Ni-Zn ferrites of different compositions on temperature and magnetic field (AE-effect) has been made using a ultrasonic method. The variation of Young's modulus with temperature follows Wachtman's equation. The dependence of the Young's modulus on magnetic field is explained using a theoretical model suggesteds by Lewis and...

nanocrystalline particles of barium hexaferrite has been prepared by the sol–gel auto- combustion method using iron and barium nitrate with a ba:fe molar ratio of 1:10. the effect of fuel such as citric acid and aspartic acid was investigated on the structure and magnetic properties of nanoparticles. the results revealed that the formation of barium hexaferritefine particles is influenced by mo...
