In the presented work, double substitution (Cr3+Gd3+) for CoCr0.04GdxFe1.96-xO4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.12) synthesized by co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) are employed to confirm the phase identification. The lattice constants calculated lies in the range 8.3169-8.3717Å, while Scherrer formula was used to calculate the average crystallite size 21-106 nm. Morphology of the samples was studied by SEM. M-H-loop showing the effect of Gd3+concentration on intrinsic as well as extrinsic magnetic parameter. It is observed that saturation magnetization of the resulting samples were decreased from 63.5 -53.8 emu/g with the increase in content, while coercivity observed less than 1 KOae
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.
