Abstract
In this novel work, we have studied the optical properties of CuBaM-CZFO nanocomposites. (Cu0.5Ba0.5Fe12O19)1-x/ (Co0.6Zn0.4 Fe2O4) x [where x=0.1,0.2] nanocomposites were synthesized individually by sol-gel citrate method and then made into nanocomposites by physical mixing technique. Further characterization over their structural, morphological and optical properties were carried out in detail. With the help of UV analysis, the optical properties such as, the band gap energy was discovered which is found using Tauc’s plot. The bandgap energy is 2.6503eV for CuBaM-CZFO 90-10 which is lesser than CuBaM-CZFO 80-20 (2.8456eV). The structural, morphological and optical properties of novel CuBaM-CZFO nanocomposite are reported and compared with, both among themselves and from the literature review.
Highlights
The study on nanocomposites have extensively gained interest among the scientists due to its applications in numerous field [1]
Choosing the hard and soft site material for the preparation of nanocomposite is the most vital part since the ferrite properties varies entirely based on the preparation and properties of these materials
Cobalt Zinc ferrite nanoparticles were prepared by auto-combustion synthesis
Summary
The study on nanocomposites have extensively gained interest among the scientists due to its applications in numerous field [1]. In order to make a nanocomposite, two different materials with dissimilar geometric arrangements (0–3/2-2/1–3 types) are joined together using appropriate preparation techniques[2]. The study of optical properties of such new nanocomposite is not done elsewhere as per the authors view. Ferrite magnetic materials could be found in common. The main goal of this research is to create a new nanocomposite Cu doped barium hexaferrite/ Cobalt zinc ferrite. For the hard site material Copper doped barium hexaferrite is chosen.
