Popis: | Nanocrystalline nickel-deficient ferrites have been prepared by a facile co-precipitation method using different Fe/Ni ratios. The obtained powders were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, Raman spectrometry, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The XRD results reveal the formation of a nonstoichiometric NiFe2O4-type spinel structure with a lattice parameter in the range of 8.353–8.364 A and an average crystallite size that varies between 51 and 64 nm. The Rietveld refinement shows that the Fe/Ni ratio increases with the increase in Fe content and the obtained structures are nickel-deficient ferrites. Five characteristic vibration modes of the spinel structures have been observed in the Raman spectra. The saturation magnetization values are in the range of 40.14–69.29 emu/g and the coercivity lies between 185 and 200 Oe. According to the Mr/Ms squareness ratio values (0.239–0.265), the spinel ferrites fall into the pseudo-single domain. |
