Abstract

This work had the objective of studying the detailed structural properties cadmium doped of Magnesium ferrite (MgFe2O4) obtained, which was prepared by low-cost solid-state Method and characterized by XRD and SEM techniques. The X-ray analysis confirms the formation of single phase cubic spinel structure. The crystallite size, Texture coefficient [TC(hkl)], dislocation density (?D), hopping lengths and mechanical properties are also reported. SEM images reveals agglomerated non-uniform grains with grain size varies from 0.7031 ?m to 1.1158 ?m.

Highlights

  • Ferrites are the well-known ferrimagnetic materials with chemical compound formula of AB2O4

  • Ferrites can be synthesized by various chemical and physical approaches are such as high-energy ball milling [10,11], sol-gel [12], co-precipitate [13], solid state method [14,15] and sucrose precursor [16]

Summary

Introduction

Ferrites are the well-known ferrimagnetic materials with chemical compound formula of AB2O4 (where A and B represent metal cations). Electrical and magnetic properties of ferrites can be used for distinct applications in information storage systems, sensors, telecommunication devices, magnetic refrigeration, catalysis, magnetic drug delivery, antenna rods, permanent magnets, recording heads, magnetic liquids, as a microwave absorber [1,2,3,4,5]. MgFe2O4 based materials are found to be much interest due to applications in microwave devices, computer memory chips and high density recording media [6], humidity sensor [7], an inorganic pigment [8], as semiconductor[9]. Ferrites can be synthesized by various chemical and physical approaches are such as high-energy ball milling [10,11], sol-gel [12], co-precipitate [13], solid state method [14,15] and sucrose precursor [16]. We report the influence of cadmium doping in lattice parameter, crystallite-size, morphology, dislocation density (ρD), mechanical properties (strain), and Hopping length {tetrahedral site (LA) and octahedral site (LB)B } of Mg-ferrite reported
