The effect of Li substitution on the structural and magnetic properties of LixCu0.12Mn0.88−2xFe2+xO4 (x = 0.00, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, and 0.44) ferrite nanoparticles prepared by combustion technique has been investigated. Structural and surface morphology have been studied by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and high-resolution optical microscope, respectively. The observed particle size of various LixCu0.12Mn0.88−2xFe2+xO4 is found to be in the range of 9 nm to 30 nm. XRD result confirms single-phase spinel structure for each composition. The lattice constant increases with increasing Li content. The bulk density shows a decreasing trend with Li substitution. The real part of initial permeability (μi′) and the grain size (D) increase with increasing Li content. It has been observed that the higher the μi′ is, the lower the resonance frequency in LixCu0.12Mn0.88−2xFe2+xO4 ferrites is.
The spinel ferrite of Ni 0.20 Cu 0.30 Zn 0.50 Fe 2 O 4 was studied at room temperature using X-ray diffraction pattern prepared by auto combustion technique. The analysis of the XRD patterns showed that the sample has a single phase cubic spinel structure. The bulk density, average grain size and initial permeability increase with increasing sintering temperature up to a optimum temperature. Beyond that temperature all those properties decreases. The value of relative quality factor decreases with increasing sintering temperature. The DC magnetization measurement showed that at room temperature the sample is in ferrimagnetic state. The number of Bohr magneton, n( B ), Néel temperature, T N , and the field at which saturation occurs were also calculated and possible explanation for the observed characteristics of microstructure, initial permeability, DC magnetization, and Néel temperature of the studied sample are presented.
