Preparation and study of the physical properties of the ferrite compound Al1- xZnxFe2O4 using sol gel method

Abstract

In this research, we will prepare spinel ferrite (Zinc ferrite) by (Sol-Gel) a method, then we will depose it with Trivalent elements Aluminum, with a ratio of (x = 0, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0) to be with following formulas Al1-xZnxFe2O4. After preparation of the samples we will study the structural properties of the compounds using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), as well as using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (F.T.I.R) to locate the atom in the crystal structure to find the type of ferrite. Then we will use Magnetic hysterics will be measured using A vibrating-sample magnetometer (V.S.M.) to estimate the hysterics loop of magnetism. XRD studies confirm that all the samples show a single-phase cubic spinel structure. The crystallite size of Al1-xZnxFe2O4 calculated using the Debye-Scherrer formula was found in the range of (32-38). The value of the lattice parameter 'a' is found to decrease with increasing Al 3+ content. EDX patterns confirm the compositional formation of the synthesized samples. FE-SEM micrographs show that all the samples have nano-crystalline behaviour and particles show spherical shape. The shapes show the magnetic behaviour of the prepared compound and other magnetic factors.

Modulating Magnetic Properties of Ferrite Cu1-XMgXFe2O4 via RF Plasma Exposure: Effects of Magnesium Concentration

“…The ferrite hysteresis loop was plotted using the applied field and the corresponding magnetization. From the shapes, it is clear that it corresponds to the natural behaviour in which all natural rings confirm the soft magnetism of Cu-Mg ferro [20].…”
