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.
