Chromium doped Ni-Cu-Zn nano ferrites with chemical formula Ni 0.2 Cu 0.2 Zn 0.6 Fe 2-x Cr x O 4 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0) were prepared by using sol-gel auto combustion method. The prepared precursors of Chromium substituted Ni-CuZn ferrites were sintered at 500 °C for 4h. Compositional stoichiometry were confirmed from EDAX patterns. The XRD data revealed that the all samples possess a single phase cubic spinel structure. The Lattice constant, X-ray density, hopping lengths and crystallite size determined from XRD data decreases with increase in Cr 3+ concentration. The IR spectra show two major absorption bands, high frequency band ν 1 ≈ 600 cm -1 and low frequency band ν 2 ≈ 450 cm -1 attributed to the stretching vibration of tetrahedral and octahedral sites respectively. The surface morphology of the prepared samples was studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Transmission Electron Morphology.
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.
