Abstract

The Cu-Ni ferrites with general formula Cu1-xNixFe2O4 (where x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) were prepared by sol gel method. The Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), X- ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements were carried out. EXAFS spectra have been recorded at the k edge of Iron using the dispersive EXAFS (DEXAFS) beam line at 2.5 GeV at Indus -2 synchrotron radiation source RRCAT, Indore, India. The EXAFS data have been analyzed using the computer software Athena. These have been used to determine the bond lengths in these ferrites with the help of three different methods, namely, Levy's, Lytle's and Lytle, Sayers and Stern's (LSS) methods. The phase uncorrected bond lengths have also been obtained from Fourier transformation method and the results obtained have been compared with the results obtained from LSS method, which also gives phase uncorrected bond lengths. XRD shows the structure is the tetragonal, and FTIR was used to determine the nature of the vibrational modes present in the system.
