The study of magnetic properties and structures of Zn and Cd substituted mixed ferrites has been carried out using Mossbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction on powdered samples at about 300 K. Two series of mixed ferrites, (Cd, Zn)xCol-xFe2-xAlxO4 and (Cd, Zn)xCo0.9Fe1.7-xTi0.4O 4 (where 0≤ x≤1.0) were synthesized. In the former series the effect of simultaneous site dilution by Zn or Cd and Ai atoms on tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites is investigated and in the latter the effect of single site dilution by Zn or Cd is also studied. The Mossbauer spectra show that the compounds transform with increase in x from ordered to disordered magnetic states. Systematic decrease in the hyperfine fields indicating weakening of the magnetic coupling with an increase in x is observed. We report the presence of a cross over effect with respect to the hyperfine fields on A and B sites at low concentration of diamagnetic ions in the simultaneously diluted series. Both series of compounds show no significant changes in isomer shifts with x. Differences in the evolution of Fe atoms on A and B sites between Zn and Cd based compounds are observed. The results of our analysis show that Zn and Cd ions occupy both tetrahedral and octahedral sites. The spinel structure of the compounds studied in this work is confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The lattice parameters derived from XRD show systematic change with x consistent with Vergard's law. In Cd based samples an increase of the lattice parameter with x is explained on the basis of the size difference of the cations involved. However, an anomalous behavior of the lattice parameter is observed in Zn based samples. The average grain sizes of the samples were determined from the line width of the (311) XRD intensity lines using the Scherrer formula. These vary between 50 nm and 70 nm for all the samples except for Zn and Al substituted samples which show a systematic anomalous reduction for x ≥ 0.4 in grain size. The porosity, x-ray and bulk densities of the samples are also presented. / Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2002.

Metal oxide nanoparticles, both magnetic and nonmagnetic, have a multitude of applications in gas sensors, catalysts and catalyst supports, airborne trapping agents, biomedicines and drug delivery systems, fuel cells, laser diodes, and magnetic microwaves. Over the past decade, an inexpensive, simple, recyclable, and environmentally friendly large, scale synthesis method for the synthesis of these metal oxide nanoparticles has been sought. Many of the current techniques in use today, while good on the small, laboratory bench scale, suffer from drawbacks that make them unsuitable for the industrial scale. The aminolytic method, developed by Dr. Man Han while working for Dr. Zhang, fits industrial scale-up requirements. The aminolytic method involves a reaction between metal carboxylate(s) and oleylamine in a non-coordinating solvent. This system was shown to produce a range of spinel ferrites. Dr. Lisa Vaughan showed that this method can be recycled multiple times without degrading the quality of the produced nanoparticles. The purpose of this thesis is to test the versatility of the aminolytic method in the production of a wide range of metal oxides as well as various core/shell systems. Chapter 2 explores the effect of precursor carboxylates chain length on the aminolytic synthesis of cobalt ferrite, and manganese ferrite nanoparticles. In Chapter 3, a series of CuxMn1-xFe₂O₄, (x ranges from 0.0 to 0.2), nanoparticles were synthesized via the aminolytic method. This series allows for the investigation of the effects of orbital Jahn-Teller distortion as well as orbital angular momentum on the magnetic properties of this ferrite. The quantum couplings of magnetic ions in spinel ferrites govern their magnetic properties and responses. An understanding of the couplings between these metal ions allows for tailoring magnetic properties to obtain the desired response needed for various applications. Chapter 4 investigates the synthesis of MnO and Mn₃O₄ nanoparticles in pure single phase with high monodispersity. To the best of our knowledge, the range of sizes produced for MnO and Mn₃O₄ is the most extensive, and therefore a magnetic study of these systems shows some intriguing size dependent properties. The final part of this chapter investigates the applicability of the aminolytic method for building a MnO shell on a CoFe₂O₄ core. Chapter 5 explores the synthesis of another metal oxide, ZrO₂ in both the cubic and monoclinic phases with no impurities. The use of the aminolytic method here removes the need for dangerous/expensive precursors or equipment and eliminates the need for extensive high temperature heat treatments that destroy monodispersity which is required for most techniques. The creation of a core/shell system between CoFe₂O₄ and ZrO₂ using the aminolytic method was also tested. This core/shell system adds magnetic manipulation which is especially useful for the recovery of zirconia based photocatalyst. Chapter 6 studies the application of the aminolytic method in the synthesis of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and yttrium iron perovskite (YIP) nanoparticles. Current synthesis techniques used to produce YIG and YIP nanoparticles often requires high temperatures, sensitive to contamination, which could be eliminated through the use of our method

Title: Local structure of hexagonal ferrites studied by NMR Author: Karel Kouřil Department/Institute: Department of Low Temperature Physics Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: prof. RNDr. Helena Štěpánková, CSc. Abstract: Hexagonal ferrites of M, W, X and Y structure types were studied by means of NMR, electronic structure calculations and magnetoelectric experi- ments. Presented results deal with cation distribution, localization of ferrous ions, interpretation of NMR spectra of studied materials and effects of size reduction. In oriented layers M type strontium ferrite and submicron particles of M type barium ferrite pronounced effects of reduced size were observed on 57 Fe NMR spectra. Performance of magnetoelectric barium-strontium Y type hexaferrites with divalent zinc cations improved upon thermal treatment of samples while distribution of zinc was not significantly altered. In Sc sub- stituted BaM, Sc content was found to be uniform throughout TSSG grown crystal. In LaSrM systems electron localization in 2a sublattice was observed, co-substitution with La+Zn, La+Co and La+Cu was found to lead to partial charge compensation. In strontium ferrites of type W and X localization of ferrous ions in octahedral sites in SS block pair was observed. Keywords: NMR, hexagonal ferrites, structure,...

Since then, several techniques, methods of analysis, algorithms, and materials have been developed to study, understand and produce these antennas. Advantages such as low cost, small dimensions, low weight and volume, aerodynamically advantageous format, possibility to have flat or curved format made this antenna one of the most interesting for the military area, and now for commercial and industrial area. This work has as objective at the development of substrates for microfite antennas using Ni-Zn-type Ferrites using the Sol-Gel technique, a physicochemical process that allows the obtaining of nanometric particles, in view of the ease of execution of this technique. The experiments consisted in the production of three types of ferrites, NiFe2O4, ZnFe2O4 and Ni0,5Zn0,5Fe2O4 in which these pellets were used as substrates of the microfite antennas. Then, simulations were carried out using commercial HFSS software to verify the influence of the magnetic properties of the material on antenna parameters such as return loss, bandwidth, and Smith's chart. The simulated results were divided into groups called dielectric and standard, in which these groups differed in the presence or absence of the magnetic characteristics of the material. All the results were compared with the values measured and analyzed by verifying some effects such as the reduction of the resonance frequency of the antennas / As antenas de microfita têm um potencial que só foi inicialmente estudado em 1953, para receber mais atenção somente na década de 1970. Desde então foram desenvolvidas diversas técnicas, métodos de análises, algoritmos, e materiais com o intuito de estudar, compreender e produzir estas antenas. Vantagens como custo baixo, pequenas dimensões, baixo peso e volume, formato aerodinamicamente vantajoso, possibilidade de ter formato plano ou curvo fizeram desta antena uma das mais interessantes para a área militar, e agora para a área comercial e industrial. Este trabalho visou o desenvolvimento de substratos para as antenas de microfita utilizando Ferritas do tipo Ni-Zn através da técnica de Sol-Gel, um processo físico-químico que permite a obtenção de partículas nanométricas, tendo em vista a facilidade de execução dessa técnica. Os experimentos consistiram na produção de três tipos de pastilhas de Ferritas, NiFe2O4, ZnFe2O4 e Ni0,5Zn0,5Fe2O4 em que essas pastilhas foram utilizadas como substratos das antenas de microfita. Em seguida, foi realizado simulações, por meio do software comercial HFSS®, com o objetivo de verificar a influência das propriedades magnéticas do material em parâmetros das antenas como perda de retorno, largura de banda, carta de Smith. Os resultados simulados foram divididos em grupos chamados de dielétrico e padrão, no qual esses grupos se diferenciavam no tocante a presença ou não das características magnéticas do material. Todos os resultados foram comparados com os valores medidos e analisados verificando alguns efeitos como a redução da frequência de ressonância das antenas / 2018-05-02

This work revisited the method of X-ray powder diffraction analysis known as Williamson-Hall plotting. This method provides size-strain studies in nanoparticles samples. Nickel ferrites has presented particle sizes that increase when the calcination temperature increases. Nickel ferrites nanoparticles were characterized by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Sample calcined at 400°C has presented superparamagnetic properties and those calcined at higher temperatures behavior as magnetic materials. Cobalt ferrites nanoparticles were charcterized by X-ray powder diffraction, small angle X-ray scattering e magnetization. Cobalt ferrites has not presented superparamagnetic behavior. For the synthesis of cobalt ferrites some parameters that are important to the process control were studied: calcination temperature, calcination time, heat rate. We have shown the relation among those parameters and the particle size and properties control to the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. / Este trabalho apresenta o estudo da síntese de nanopartículas de ferritas de níquel e de cobalto usando o método sol-gel proteico. Inicialmente, é resgatado o método do gráfico de Williamson-Hall na análise dos dados de difração de raios X. Este método permite calcular o tamanho médio de partícula e a microdeformação. Ferritas de níquel apresentaram tamanhos de partículas que crescem com o aumento da temperatura de calcinação. Nanopartículas de ferrita de níquel foram caracterizadas por espectroscopia Mössbauer. As amostras calcinadas a 400 °C apresentaram comportamento superparamagnético ao passo que aquelas calcinadas em temperaturas superiores apresentaram comportamento magnético. As ferritas de cobalto foram caracterizadas usando difração de raios X, espalhamento de raios X a baixo ângulo e medidas de magnetização. As ferritas de cobalto não apresentaram comportamento superparamagnético. Na síntese das ferritas de cobalto, alguns parâmetros associados com o controle do processo foram estudados: temperatura de calcinação, tempo de calcinação, taxa de aquecimento/resfriamento. Deduziu-se a relação de cada parâmetro com o controle do tamanho de partícula e das propriedades das ferritas de cobalto.
