| Popis: | Single-phase spinel ferrite Ni 1−x Zn x Ga y Fe 2−y O 4 with (0.0≤x≤0.5) and y=0.5 samples were synthesized using solid-state reaction technique. These ferrites were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and Mossbauer effect (ME) spectroscopy. XRD patterns confirmed the formation of single-phase cubic spinel ferrites for all samples. Lattice parameter was found to decrease with the introduction of Ga 3+ in NiFe 2 O 4, and then to increase with the increasing of Zn 2+ content x. ME measurements illustrated a strong dependence on the zinc concentration. The cation distribution calculated from the ME spectra at room temperature indicated that the Ga 3+ ion substituted iron in both octahedral B and tetrahedral A- sites. Zn 2+ ions firstly introduced in A- site, and for higher x, they distribute in both B- and A- sites. VSM measurements indicated that the change in the value of saturation magnetization can be explained using the cation distribution obtained from ME measurements. The coercivity values can be interpreted on the basis of magneto-crystalline anisotropy. |
