Effects of Mg substitution on the structural and magnetic properties of Co0.5Ni0.5-xMgxFe2O4 nanoparticle ferrites

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/25/4/047501

Abstract In this study, nanocrystalline Co-Ni-Mg ferrite powders with composition Co_0.5Ni_0.5-xMg_xFe₂O₄ are successfully synthesized by the co-precipitation method. A systematic investigation on the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of un-doped and Mg-doped Co-Ni ferrite nanoparticles is carried out. The prepared samples are characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The XRD analyses of the synthesized samples confirm the formation of single-phase cubic spinel structures with crystallite sizes in a range of ～32 nm to ～36 nm. The lattice constant increases with increasing Mg content. FESEM images show that the synthesized samples are homogeneous with a uniformly distributed grain. The results of IR spectroscopy analysis indicate the formation of functional groups of spinel ferrite in the co-precipitation process. By increasing Mg²⁺ substitution, room temperature magnetic measurement shows that maximum magnetization and coercivity increase from ～57.35 emu/g to ～61.49 emu/g and ～603.26 Oe to ～684.11 Oe (1 Oe=79.5775 A·m^-1), respectively. The higher values of magnetization M_s and M_r suggest that the optimum composition is Co_0.5Ni_0.4Mg_0.1Fe₂O₄ that can be applied to high-density recording media and microwave devices.
