Abstract
Ferrites; MFe2O4(M= Co, Ni, Cu, Mg ,and Zn) nanocrystals were prepared using sucrose auto-combustion. X-ray diffraction showed complete formation of ferrites with tetragonal structure for CuFe2O4and cubic for all others. Fourier transform-infrared confirmed ferrites formation, and the obtained data were used to estimate the different elastic properties. Transmission electron microscopy exhibited agglomerated spherically shaped clusters for CoFe2O4, MgFe2O4, and ZnFe2O4while NiFe2O4and CuFe2O4showed cubic morphology. Magnetic measurements via vibrating sample magnetometer revealed ferromagnetic properties of all ferrites except for ZnFe2O4indicating paramagnetic one. The coercivity measurements indicated magnetically hard ferrites for CoFe2O4and CuFe2O4, while others showed soft magnetic. ac-conductivity indicated semiconducting properties with a magnetic phase transition from ferro- to paramagnetic for all ferrites except for CoFe2O4. The deviation from Arrhenius plots at > 500 K revealed the conduction mechanism change from electron hopping to polaron conduction. This change was also proved via conductivity vs. frequency and through dielectric relaxation.Graphical abstractXRD indicated cubic structure for all the studied ferrites except for CuFe2O4which showed tetragonal structure.
