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.

The contact of a steel electrode with water dispersion medium in an open-air system leads to the development of various polymorphic iron oxides and oxyhydroxides on the steel surface. Whereas the usage of distilled water causes the obtaining of Fe(II)-Fe(III) layered double hydroxides (green rust) as a primary mineral phase, but in the presence of inorganic 3d-metal water salt solutions, mixed ...

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....

In the near future, the magneto-optical (MO) recording will require materials having high MO effects at short wavelengths (400-500 nm). Fenites, especially garnets, but also spinel ferrites have highly advantageous MO properties in this spectrum and also have very stable structural and chemical properties. The present paper evaluates their used as MO media, in comparison with the rare-earth tra...

Crystalline and nanostructured cobalt (CoFe2O4), nickel (NiFe2O4), zinc (ZnFe2O4) and manganese (MnFe2O4) spinel ferrites are synthesized with high yields, crystallinity and purity through an easy, quick, reproducible and low‐temperature hydrothermal assisted route starting from an aqueous suspension of coprecipitated metal oxalates. The use of water as a reaction medium is a further adva...

The magnetic properties of Mg1-xZnxFe2O4 (where x = 0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6) ferrites have been studied. Magnesium Zinc Ferrites was synthesized by oxalate co-precipitation method at different synthesis temperature and characterized by X-ray diffraction and far IR absorption techniques, scanning Electron microscopy .Far infrared absorption spectra show two significant absorption bands ,first at about 6...

Along with magnetic properties, the spinel ferrites exhibit promising electrical properties, deployment of which results into evolution of new area of applications as the electronic sensor materials. The electrical properties significantly depend upon the environmental compositions, for which it has been exposed. The electrical resistance of these sensor materials varies not only with gas conce...
