The soft chemical method was adopted to prepare of cobalt-substituted nickel-zinc ferrites (Ni0.95-x Zn0.05COx Fe2O4 for x = 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03). We have recently studied their structural, morphological, and magnetic properties, initial permeability, and dielectric constant. They were found to be with cubic ferromagnetic spinel structure, the morphology of which is suitable for high-density recording media. The impedance has a major role in characterizing the electrical and magnetic properties of the sample, which are dependent on their permeability and dielectric constant. So, this study will verify the values obtained before. Next, the energy stored in a capacitor is directly proportional, and its size is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant. Similarly, the resistance offered by a material to the magnetic field to pass through it is related to permeability. This study will focus on the variation of impedance with Co2+ concentration. The results were derived with the equivalent circuit model. The impedance analysis is also important in the biological field having a name of Bio-Impedance Analysis (BIA), for determining nutritional status, and many more.
The sol-gel spin coating method was used for the preparation of the Zinc Oxide which was coated over polymer, transparent, and glass translucent substrates and characterized with the help of a UV-Vis Spectroscope. The wavelength bandgap of those samples was found to be 296nm, 310.5nm, and 330nm respectively. The actual band gap of ZnO is 388nm. Similarly, their optical bandgap energy calculated by the Tauc Plot method were 3.641eV, 3.385eV, and 3.495 eV respectively. The transparent polymer slide has the lowest wavelength bandgap and the translucent glass slide has the highest. Further, the bandgap’s value differs from its actual value to the difference in the absorption process due to the presence of the substrate. These results suggest that the choice of substrate can significantly impact the optical properties and performance of the zinc oxide thin film. This result can be applied in developing and optimizing zinc oxide thin films for various purposes, such as in solar cells, sensors, and optoelectronics. By carefully selecting the substrate, it may be possible to tailor the bandgap energy and other optical properties of the thin film to better suit the specific application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
