The effect of Zr-substitution on the physical and magnetic properties of Li0.3+0.5xZn0.4ZrxFe2.3-1.5xO4 ferrites (x=0.0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.05), prepared by the standard ceramic method, has been studied. It is found that the saturation magnetization increases up to x=0.02 and then it decreases. On the other hand, the initial permeability increased while the Curie temperature remained almost...

This book chapter is organized into four major parts. Firstly, it will cover an introduction of using spinel ferrite nanoparticles in biomedical applications, including the antibacterial properties. The second part will provide an overview of the structure and magnetism of spinel ferrites. The third part will focus on the preparation of cobalt ferrite and transition metal substituted cobalt fer...

Cobalt substitutions were investigated in Ni0.4Zn0.4Cu0.2Fe2O4 ferrites, initial complex permeability was then measured from 1 MHz to 1 GHz. It appears that cobalt substitution led to a decrease of the permeability and an increase of the μs×fr factor. As well, it gave to the permeability spectrum a sharp resonance character. We also observed a spin reorientation occuring at a temperature depend...

Design of “new” electromagnetic devices such as antennas, frequency selective surfaces and filters with complex geometry and materials, possibly “new” composites and artificial dielectrics or meta-materials has become a realizable possibility. Some examples for these meta-materials are photonic and electromagnetic band gap materials for optical, millimeter-wave and microwave applications, aniso...

Five doped nanosized spinel ferrites were synthesized using the dicarboxylate and hydroxide coprecipitation method. XRD of samples confirmed increase in lattice parameters as compared to undoped samples. Decrease saturation magnetization coercive force are found these

Transition metal-doped ferrites are attractive candidates for a wide range of applications including catalysis and electronic and magnetic devices. Although their bulk characteristics are well-understood, very little is known about their surface properties at the molecular level. Here, we demonstrate high reactivity of NiFe2O4 (111) surfaces, a Nidoped ferrite, by elucidating the surface struct...
