Infrared absorption spectroscopic study of Nd3+ substituted Zn–Mg ferrites
B P Ladgaonkar C B Kolekar A S Vaingankar
Compositions of polycrystalline Zn𝑥Mg1-𝑥Fe2–𝑦Nd𝑦O4 (𝑥 = 0.00, 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80 and 1.00; 𝑦 = 0.00, 0.05 and 0.10) ferrites were prepared by standard ceramic method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and infrared absorption spectroscopy. Far infrared absorption spectra show two significant absorption bands, first at about 600 cm–1 and second at about 425 cm–1 , which were respectively attributed to tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites of the spinel. The positions of bands are found to be composition dependent. The force constants, $K_T$ and $K_O$, were calculated and plotted against zinc concentration. Compositional dependence of force constants is explained on the basis of cation–oxygen bond distances of respective sites and cation distribution.

A.c. susceptibility study of CaCl2 doped copper–zinc ferrite system
A Y Lipare P N Vasambekar A S Vaingankar
Polycrystalline soft ferrites, Zn$_x$ Cu$_{1–x}$ Fe2O4 (𝑥 = 0.30, 0.50, 0.70, 0.80 and 0.90), doped with controlled amount of calcium chloride (CaCl2) were prepared by standard ceramic route and studied for a.c. susceptibility. X-ray diffraction studies of the compositions reveal formation of single-phase cubic spinel. The values of lattice constant increase as doping percentage of CaCl2 increased from 0.01% to 0.05% and afterwards decrease slightly. The presence of chlorine ions is confirmed by absorption peak in far IR spectra near 650 cm-1 for all the samples. The variation of a.c. susceptibility with temperature shows the existence of single domain structure for 𝑥 = 0.3 and exhibits transition from single domain to multidomain structure with increased Ca2+ contents from 0.01 to 0.1%. The composition, 𝑥 = 0.5, shows multidomain structure independent of Ca2+ content. The samples for 𝑥 = 0.70, 0.80 and 0.90 show paramagnetic behaviour at and above room temperature.
