In present review we have focused various issues like solubility limit, magnetic interaction and conduction mechanism of rare earth doped ferrite. Cumulative effects of valence state, magnetic moments of rare earth ions, weakening/strengthening of exchange interaction and magnetic ordering in rare earth ion doped ferrite are responsible for magnetic behavior. It is proposed that characterization techniques based on synchrotron radiation like X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism can open pathways to prove these assumptions.Keywords: Rare earth, ferrites, magnetic interaction, valence state 1.INTRODUCTIONSpinel ferrites are ferrimagnetic material which have numerous technological applications [1][2][3]. Moreover, nanoparticles of these ferrites are being utilized in high-density magnetic information storage, magnetic resonance imaging, drug delivery etc. [4][5][6]. These several applications are based on magnetic and electrical behavior of ferrites [1][2][3][4][5][6]. These properties depend on various factors like, ionic radii, nature of hybridization, presence of doped atom in host lattice apart from the particle size [7][8][9][10]. Thus, research is being carried out for doped ferrite systems in order to understand the altered behavior and to optimize them for different applications [11][12][13][14][15]. In recent years, rare earth (RE) doped ferrites become interesting due to their superiority for various applications over other doped ferrite systems [17][18][19][20][21][22]. These systems become radioactive and exhibit potentential for biomedical applications [19] along-with efficient tumor passive targeting [23]. Improved capability of dye removal [24], waste water treatment [25], degradation of organic pollutants through photocatalytic activity [26] are other important fields of utilization of these ferrites. These ferrites exhibit enhanced magneto optical kerr (MOKE) effect [20] and excellent microwave absorption properties [21,22]. Thus, these ferrites cover a wide range of applications chiefly based on their magnetic characteristics [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. However, there is lack of understanding of magnetic interaction, conduction mechanism inside these ferrites [15,16]. Thus purpose of this review article is to discuss these issues and to give prospects for future research in this direction. SPINEL FERRITEThe general formula for spinel ferrite is MO:Fe2O3 where, M is a divalent transition metal ion. Spinel name is given due to resemblance of structure of these ferrites with mineral spinel MgO.Al2O3. In this structure, oxygen ions are packed quite close together in face centred cubic arrangement and metal ions occupy spaces between them (Fig. 1). These spaces are categorized as tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites when surrounded by four and six oxygen ions respectively (Fig. 1).In a unit cell of spinel ferrite, there exists 64 and 32 A and B-sites respectively. Only 1/8 th and 1/2 th of A and B-sites are occupied [27]. Metal ions are distributed among A a...

“…In the low frequency region, exchange of electrons between the Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ species gives rise to an orientational polarization and dipoles align themselves with the applied external field, which leads to the increase in dielectric constant. At high frequency, Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ do not follow the alternating applied electric field; this leads the dielectric constant to remain constant across the measured temperature range [47,48]. ε' increases at low frequency with increase in temperature due to the increase in orientation of the dipoles and accumulation of charges at the interface between the grain and grain boundaries.…”

Herein, Urea assisted solution combustion method has been used for the preparation of stoichiometrically pure and Zn doped Li ferrites. Urea acts as a capping agent and helps in the formation of nanostructures. Solution combustion method helps easier formation of ferrites in a single step, at relatively lower temperature and in shorter time than the reported methods. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies with diffractometer indicate high purity, single phase spinel ferrites formation. Magnetic studies by vibratory sample magnetometer (VSM) reveal an increase in the magnitude of saturation magnetization with increasing Zn content up to x = 0.3. The Zn doped Li ferrite formed possess high dc-resistivity values which make them suitable for high-frequency applications. Apart from the academic interest involved, these investigations are of technological importance in the view of the fact that their end products (ferrites) play a key role as electro-magnetic materials in the modern industry.Keywords: Solution combustion method, powder X-ray diffraction, Powder X-ray diffraction, saturation magnetization, dc-resistivity. I INTRODUCTIONAlkali metal ferrites find extensive use in microwave components due to their attractive electrical and magnetic properties [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Ferrites have been reported as better electromagnetic materials than pure metals because of their low cost, high resistivity and ease of preparation. The properties of the ferrite materials, which decide the application areas, are generally governed by the chemical compositions along with the procedures followed for their preparation. Therefore, the molecular engineering of ferrite composition and employment of appropriate process parameters play a significant role in tailoring the material properties for a specific need. The properties of the ferrites can be modified by substituting the optimum amount of metal ions as dopant in the basic compositional formulae. It is, therefore, desirable to investigate and understand the dependence of composition on magnetic/electric behavior of these ferrites. Ferrite nanoparticles show unusual magnetic properties such as single domain behavior and superparamagnetism which are not observed in bulk material [12,13]. Also, the resistivity of the ferrites at room temperature can vary from 10 -2 to 10 11 ohm-cm [14][15][16]. The change in the resistivity is brought about by substitution of some appropriate metal ion in the metal site. To obtained sample with high resistivity, it is necessary to ensure that there are no ferrous ions in the stoichiometric ferrite. Therefore, chemical aspect has become the most important factor in the design and preparation of ferrite materials. Solution combustion method has been found to be the most suitable technique for the synthesis of a particular mixed ferrite composition. The properties of the final product (particle size, surface area and porosity) depend on the way the combustion is conducted. The departure of gases favours the desegregation of th...
