Mechanical and Structural Properties of Zn0.1Ni0.4Cu0.5Fe2O4 Ferrite

Synthesis, structural, W-H plot and size-strain analysis of nano cobalt doped MgFe2O4 ferrite

“…The calculated average crystallite size (D) of samples is 243 Å. The distance between magnetic ions (hopping length) in A site (Tetrahedral) and B site (Octahedral) were calculated by using [15][16] the complying relations {(L A and L B )}:…”

“…Assuming the size and strain broadening are additive components of the total integral breadth of a Bragg peak [25]. The distinct angle (θ) dependencies of both effects laid the basis for the separation of size and strain broadening in the analysis of Williamson and Hall [15][16][17]. The ''size-strain plot" (SSP) is an instrument to interpret the quantity of isotropic nature and micro-strain contribution and the advantage is that less weight is given to data from reflections at high angles, where the precision is usually lower which is shown in Fig.…”

“…4. In this approximation, we assume that the ''crystallite size" profile is described by a Lorentzian function and the ''strain profile" by a Gaussian function [15,26]. Accordingly, we have: In Fig.…”

“…The reflection intensities from each XRD pattern contain information related to the preferential or random growth of polycrystalline material, which is studied by calculating texture coefficient TC hkl for all planes using [15][16][17]: where I (hkl) is the measured intensity of X-ray reflection, I 0(hkl) is the corresponding standard intensity and N is the number of reflections observed in the XRD pattern. Texture coefficient is higher than one indicates preferential orientation and also indicates the abundance of grains along the given (hkl) plane.…”

“…Numbers of methods to synthesize the ferrites are solid state reactions [15][16], coprecipitation technique [17], microwave processing [18], polymer-assisted route [19], auto combustion [20][21], micro emulsions [22] in reverse micelles [23], sucrose precursor [24].…”
