Nanoparticles of Ce3+doped Cu0.5Zn0.5Cexfe2-xO4. (x = 0.0,0.025 to 0.10) samples prepared by using sol-gel auto combustion technique. This prepared sample sintering temperature is confirmed by TGA. The prepared samples sintered at 600°C at 4 hours. The prepared samples phase was confirmed by considering the XRD analysis technique. Structural parameter like lattice, porosity, density, length, etc., was measured with composition x by using XRD. The dopant concentration increases, the lattice constant in increases while crystallite size decreases. The surface morphology was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Cu, Zn, Ce, Fe and O elements are existence in the composition confirmed by EDAX spectra. The cation distribution revealed that Zn2+ion primarily on tetrahedral-A sites, the octahedral-B site shows high preference to copper (II) and Ce (III) ions. Fe (III) ions are constantly distributed on both sites tetrahedral-A and octahedral-B sites. Indication of two vibrational spectra between 400 to 600 cm-1 corresponding to the tetrahedral and octahedral sites occurs by the analysis of FT-IR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
