“…We found that this joint-method is favorable as it guarantees good physical homogeneity, narrow distribution of particle size and high production rates with low reaction temperature. Until now, there have been few studies on the magnetic behavior of Co 2+ doped zinc ferrite nanoparticles below curie-temperature (T C ) [31]. Thus, our work fulfills a need to investigate the magnetic properties of Co 1-x Zn x Fe 2 O 4 with different Co 2+ doping ratios (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) between 5K and 300K.…”

In the present work, we synthesized CoxZn1-xFe2O4 spinel ferrite nanoparticles (x= 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) via the precipitation and hydrothermal-joint method. Structural parameters were cross-verified using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and electron microscopy-based techniques. The magnetic parameters were determined by means of vibrating sample magnetometry. The as-synthesized CoxZn1-xFe2O4 nanoparticles exhibit high phase purity with a single-phase cubic spinel-type structure of Zn-ferrite. The microstructural parameters of the samples were estimated by XRD line profile analysis using the Williamson–Hall approach. The calculated grain sizes from XRPD analysis for the synthesized samples ranged from 8.3 to 11.4 nm. The electron microscopy analysis revealed that the constituents of all powder samples are spherical nanoparticles with proportions highly dependent on the Co doping ratio. The CoxZn1-xFe2O4 spinel ferrite system exhibits paramagnetic, superparamagnetic and weak ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature depending on the Co2+ doping ratio, while ferromagnetic ordering with a clear hysteresis loop is observed at low temperatures (5K). We concluded that replacing Zn2+ ions with Co2+ ions changes both the structural and magnetic properties of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles.

“…When the grain size attains the single domain state, the particles exhibit a superparamagnetic behavior and the surface effects become dominant over magnetization [6]. The H c decreases by CFO doping with Zn 2+ , Ni 2 , or Cu 2+ due to the lower magneto-crystalline anisotropy of these ions when they replace Co 2+ in the octahedral sites [5,10,18]. The lowest K value was obtained for CCFO at all annealing temperatures.…”

“…Thus, since the overall sublattice magnetization increases, the net magnetization of NC will improve. The M s value decreases with decreasing nanoparticle size as a result of the high surface to volume ratio, and of the associated surface effects [3,10,11,18]. The H c decreases by doping CFO with Zn 2+ , Ni 2+ , or Cu 2+ ions as a result of higher spin disorder, especially at the surface layer, since H c is significantly depreciated in smaller size particle where the spin disorder is increased [15,18].…”

This paper presents the synthesis of metal doped Co ferrites, M0.2Co0.8Fe2O4 (M = Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+) embedded in SiO2 matrix by an innovative sol-gel route. The structural and morphological characterization provided information about the crystalline phases, crystallite size, and the shape of the prepared ferrites. The thermal study depicted the thermal decomposition and stability of the obtained ferrites. X-ray diffraction indicated nanocrystalline ferrites with spinel structure and the lack of crystalline phase impurities, while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of functional groups in precursors and ferrite powders. The lattice parameters showed a gradual increase indicating a uniform distribution of divalent metal ions in the Co ferrite lattice. The crystallite size, magnetic moment, super-exchange and deflection of magnetic domain were influenced by the dopant metal ion. The room temperature magnetization indicated a ferromagnetic behavior of the ferrites annealed at 1000 °C and a superparamagnetic behavior of the ferrites annealed at 700 °C.

This work reports the detailed structural characterization of Zn 2+ ion-substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CFO NPs; Co 1−x Zn x Fe 2 O 4 ; x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75), prepared using a facile sol-gel method. It correlates structural changes with magnetic and dielectric properties. The as-synthesized samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, BET surface area analyzer, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Mössbauer spectroscopy, and impedance analyzer. The pristine sample (CFO) comprised of NPs with 25 nm size, which decreased up to 11 nm upon the formation of Zn 0.75 Co 0.25 Fe 2 O 4 . The N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherm of the prepared Zn 0.5 Co 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 sample confirmed the presence of a mesoporous structure. SEM images revealed that all prepared samples exhibited porous surface with honeycomb-like structures. The cationic distribution was described by Mössbauer spectra. The increment of Zn ions in the prepared samples resulted in sharp reduction of saturation magnetization and remanence values. The normal dielectric dispersion behavior was recorded and can be ascribed to the Maxwell-Wagner type polarization. Besides, the dielectric parameters varied by increasing Zn content in CFO NPs. This may be ascribed to O 2 vacancies and Fe 3+ ions in A-and B-sites. Dielectric studies revealed that, content of Zn ions beyond x = 0.25 was sufficient to reduce both dielectric constant and loss at low frequencies.
