A series W-type BaMe2Fe16O27 ferrites withcomposition BaZnxCo1-xFe16O27(x ═ 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 &0.5) were manufactured by co-precipitation method sintering at 1100°C for 8 h. XRD, FTIR, SEM, UV-vis and I-V techniques were applied to investigate structural, optical, morphological and electrical properties respectively. Crystallite size was observed in the range of (37.58 nm- 54.75 nm) revealed by XRD and was confirmed by SEM analysis. IR exposed the existence of metal oxides (M -O). Optical band gap was in (3.0 eV- 5.2 eV) range which proved the trend of DC resistivity in increasing trend. Activation energy discovered the conversion of ferrimagnetism to paramagnetism characteristics confirming the W-type materials are highly suitable for novel application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
