Abstract
Ni0.6Cd0.2Cu0.2Fe2O4 ferrites were synthesized using sol-gel method under different sintering temperatures. XRD patterns with the Rietveld refinement indicate that samples crystallize in the cubic spinel structure. The increase of sintering temperature leads successively to the increase of lattice constant, average crystallite size, intensities of absorption bands, magnetization, and electrical conductivity of the prepared ferrites. Dielectric constants decrease with frequency and their behaviors have been investigated using the interfacial polarization theory predicted by Maxwell. The modulus analysis shows the presence of electrical relaxation phenomenon and non-Debye nature for the samples. An appropriate electrical equivalent circuit was used to analyze the Nyquist plots, and the results show that the conduction mechanism of the synthesized ferrites is mainly due to the grain boundary contribution.
