| Popis: | Precise tailoring of nanostructured cobalt ferrite paves the way to design and develop devices for stress and noncontact torque sensors. Herein, Mn2+ ions are inserted into cobalt ferrite with different ratios using a facile sol–gel method. The as-synthesized ferrites are characterized via energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). EDX analyses affirm the stoichiometry of the synthesized samples with the intended ratios. The FTIR and XRD prove the presence of a single-phase cubic spinel structure for all as-synthesized samples. The dislocation, the inter-chain distance and the distortion parameter values decrease with increasing Mn2+ content, which outweigh the improvement of the crystal structure of the doped CFO samples. SEM micrographs illustrate that the incorporation of Mn2+ significantly soars the porosity of the samples. TEM images reveal that the samples comprise particles in the nanometer range with spherical shape and porous nature. Thermal analyses show that the weight loss is dependent on Mn2+ content in the sample. For instance, at x = 0, a slight variation in the weight loss estimated by 8% is observed while at x = 0.25 the weight loss has reached up to 40%. The dielectric losses (8 × 105) of Co0.5Mn0.5 Fe2O4 is enough to meet the demands of microwave applications. Finally, a reduction in the magnetization of the pure CFO from 68.419 emu g−1 to 50.307 emu g−1 is achieved at x = 0.25. |
