Abstract
- [Display omitted] • Cd x Co 1− x Fe 2 O 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 07) nanoferrites were synthesized by glycol-thermal process. • XRD and FTIR confirmed single phase spinel structure. • Mossbauer spectroscopy revealed transformation in magnetic phases due to addiction Cd2+ ions. • Improvement in magnetic properties Cd x Co 1- x Fe 2 O 4 oxides. The Cd2+ substituted Co 1- x Fe 2 O 4 with concentrations of (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.7) nano ferrites were synthesized using the glycol-thermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy confirmed the structural formation and nanocrystalline structure of spinel ferrites. Samples possess a cubic spinel lattice structure with crystallite sizes varying between 5.1 nm and 15.5 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed fine particles which are nearly spherical in shape. The 57Fe Mössbauer spectral studies showed an ordered magnetic spin state for x ≤ 0.5 which transforms to a paramagnetic phase for x ≥ 0.6 due to the weakening of super-exchange interactions. The saturation magnetization (M S) was the highest at x = 0 with a value of 73.3 emu/g and fluctuated between 44.3 emu/g and 19.8 emu/g after the addition of non-magnetic Cd2+ ions. The field dependence of dM / dH curves reveals the finite size effect which leads to the frustration in magnetic moments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
