Abstract
Composites of yttrium barium orthoferrite (Y0.5Ba0.5FeO3) and nickel-substituted strontium hexaferrite (SrNi0.25Fe11.75O19) with an Equation (1 − x) YBF – (x) SNFO (YBF/SNFO) with x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and 1 have been investigated, and the conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) method was utilized for the synthesis process. The structural, morphological, optical and magnetic properties of the synthesized composites have been systematically investigated. The coexistence of YBF and SNFO phases and phase purity gets confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM) analysis. The average particle size calculated by using image J software is in the 180–290 nm range. The characteristic peaks in the FTIR spectra shift toward higher wave number on increasing the SNFO phase in the composite. The optical energy band gap is in the range of 1.57–1.75 eV and increases with increasing the SNFO phase in the composite suggesting such materials as a candidate for optical applications. Magnetic properties of the composites revealed the increasing nature of saturation magnetization with increasing the value of SNFO content in the composite. The squareness ratio (Mr/Ms) value confirmed the multiple domain structure of x = 0 and 0.2 compositions and single magnetic domain structure of x = 0.8 and 1 compositions of the prepared samples.
