Abstract

The structural - elastic properties correlations have been studied for polycrystalline spinel ferrite system, ZnxCo1-xFe2O4, x = 0.0-0.6, at 300 K. The cation distribution formulae determined from X-ray diffraction line intensity calculations are used to calculate bulk modulus (Ko) in particular and Young′s modulus (E0), rigidity modulus (G0), longitudinal modulus (L0) and Lame′s constant (λL0) in general. The longitudinal wave velocity (Vl0) and transverse wave velocity (Vso) computed from empirical relation based on X-ray density and mean atomic weight is used to calculate L0 and G0 respectively. The applicability of the heterogeneous metal mixture rule for theoretical estimation of elastic constants has been tested. The results are compared with elastic moduli determined from conventional ultrasonic pulse transmission technique and causes for the observed difference between the two have been discussed.
