Elastic and Structural Properties of Mn2+ Ions Substituted Zn-Co Mixed Ferrites

Abstract

Magnetic oxides, which are commonly known as ferrites are ferromagnetic in structure. Ferrites have been recognized as one of the most important electromagnetics in modern industry and their processing and application technologies have been improved incessantly in the last 20 years. composition Zn0.5Co0.5-xCdxFe2O4 (x = 0.0, 0.3, 0.5) Cd2+ ions substituted Zn-Co ferrites having have been prepared using the common ceramic technology of double sintering and oxides of AR grade. The preparation of the monophase cubic spinel structure of the ferrite phase is confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectrum analyses. Due to the enormous ionic radius of Cd2+ ions, it was discovered that the lattice constant increased as the cadmium level increased. The bond length, jump length of the tetrahedral (A) site as well as the octahedral [B] site, tetrahedral edge length, shared and unshared octahedral edge length, and other structural parameters were estimated. These parameters included the lattice parameter, X-ray density, cation distribution, ionic site radii, oxygen positional parameter, and theoretical lattice parameter. By contrasting the observed and predicted lattice characteristics, it was possible to confirm the estimated cation distribution of ferrite and is IR, elastic parameters, including both the modulus analysis were estimated
