Abstract

ABSTRACTNanocrystalline Ni0.4Cu0.3Zn0.3Fe2O4 ferrites doped with TiO2 (0–10 wt %) were prepared by the sol-gel method. Elastic properties of synthesized samples were studied with the help of ultrasonic pulse transmission method. The elastic constants initially increase with an increase in TiO2 up to 1 wt % and then decline. LCR-Q meter was used to study the dielectric properties within 50 Hz to 5 MHz range of the frequency. The dielectric constant (ϵ′) and dielectric loss tangents were decreased continuously with increased frequency for all the selected samples at room temperature revealing normal dielectric behavior of ferrites. Also, the AC conductivity was increased with an increase in the frequency for all the selected samples. Cole-Cole plots were obtained for all investigated samples and showed single semicircle which indicates that the electrical conduction process appears only due to grain boundaries.
