Abstract

Sm -doped Li – Ni ferrites were synthesized by a soft chemistry method. The effects of Sm -doping on the structural and magnetic properties of the Li – Ni ferrites were investigated. The structural, morphological and magnetic properties of the ferrite samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results revealed that the Sm -doped samples had the single spinel phase at low Sm content. The increase in Sm content increased the lattice parameter and decreased the particle sizes. The magnetic properties of the Sm -doped Li – Ni ferrites were strongly affected by Sm content. The saturation magnetization decreased, while coercivity increased with increasing Sm content.
