Abstract
Variations of Curie temperature and strength of magnetic phases with sintering temperature and Ni concentration is investigated in the present work. The AC susceptibility studies show a decrease in Curie temperature (TC) with an increase in Ni concentration in the samples. Comparison of Curie temperatures with the reported results reveals that samples in the present work show higher TC enabling high thermal stability. The Mossbauer spectra of nano- and sintered Ni-Zn ferrite samples were recorded at room temperature to monitor the local environment around Fe cations through Mossbauer hyperfine parameters as a function of composition and sintering temperatures. The increase in sharpness of the Mossbauer sextet with an increase in Ni concentration and sintering temperature corroborate improvement in homogeneity and ferrimagnetic ordering. The results of hyperfine parameters offer the possibility of having close view on configuring Curie temperature through monitoring hyperfine field by altering sintering temperature and/or Ni concentration. As the temperature dependence of magnetic and magnetoelastic properties is strongly influenced by the Curie temperature, the successful possible configuration of Curie temperature in the present work can be further investigated for desired sensor applications.
