Abstract
Nanocrystalline ferrites with composition Mn <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.2</sub> Zn <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.8</sub> In <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">y</sub> Fe <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2-y</sub> O <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sub> , (y = 0.00, 0.035, 0.070, 0.100) were prepared by oxalate co-precipitation technique followed by microwave heating of precursors. The phase purity of the samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction technique. Full profile Rietveld refinement of the powder diffraction pattern was carried out by using General Structure Analysis System II to obtain cation distribution in the spinel lattice. In <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3+</sup> ions were distributed in tetrahedral as well as octahedral sites. Magnetization of ferrite samples was studied with vibrating sample magnetometer. In lower concentration, indium substitution increased saturation magnetization; at higher concentration of indium, saturation magnetization decreased substantially. This was due to higher fraction of indium ions occupying octahedral sites. AC susceptibility and Loria-Sinha techniques were used to study Curie temperature of nanoferrites.
