Abstract
A series of Gd3+ doped nano crystalline Ni0.6Zn0.4Cr0.5GdxFe1.5-xO4 (where x=0. 00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) were prepared by solution combustion method using oxalyl dehydrazide (ODH) as a fuel. The Structural and dielectric behavior of as synthesized material was characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD pattern reveals that the formation of single phase with cubic spinel structure. The average crystallite size and lattice parameter were found to increase with increasing Gd3+ concentration. The FTIR spectra shows two strong absorption bands at 387 cm−1 and 564 cm−1 both represents tetrahedral and octahedral stretching bonds respectively. The dielectric properties were carried out as a function of frequency and composition with the frequency range 40Hz to 10MHz. All the samples show the collective contribution of n-type and p-type carriers. The permittivity were found to decrease with increasing of Gd3+ concentration this is due to hopping off electrons and charge transport which is typical characteristic of polar dielectrics. Complex impedance was studied to know the contribution of grains and grain boundary resistance has explained according to the Maxwell Wagener type two layer model.
