Solid state sensors are attractive for commercial purposes by the strength and lifetime, because it isn t consumed in the reaction with the gas. In parallel, the use of synthesis techniques more viable for the applicability on an industrial scale are more attractive to produce commercial products. In this context ceramics with spinel structure were obtained by microwave-assisted combustion for application to flammable fuel gas detectors. Additionally, alternatives organic-reducers were employed to study the influence of those in the synthesis process and the differences in performance and properties of the powders obtained. The organic- reducers were characterized by Thermogravimetry (TG) and Derivative Thermogravimetry (DTG). After synthesis, the samples were heat treated and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), analysis by specific area by BET Method and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Quantification of phases and structural parameters were carried through Rietveld method. The methodology was effective to obtain Ni-Mn mixed oxides. The fuels influenced in obtaining spinel phase and morphology of the samples, however samples calcined at 950 ?C there is just the spinel phase in the material regardless of the organic-reducer. Therefore, differences in performance are expected in technological applications when sample equal in phase but with different morphologies are tested / O desenvolvimento e estudo de detectores sens?veis a gases combust?veis inflam?veis e t?xicos de baixo custo ? um desafio tecnol?gico determinante para possibilitar vers?es comercializ?veis ao mercado em geral. Sensores no estado s?lido s?o atrativos para fins comerciais pela robustez e tempo de vida, uma vez que n?o s?o consumidos durante o processo de rea??o com o g?s. Paralelamente, o uso de t?cnicas de s?ntese mais vi?veis pela aplicabilidade em escala industrial s?o mais atrativas para obten??o de produtos comerciais. Dentro desse contexto foram obtidos materiais cer?micos com estrutura espin?lio via combust?o assistida por microondas, visando aplica??o em detectores de gases combust?veis inflam?veis. Adicionalmente foram empregados direcionadores-org?nicos alternativos para estudo da influ?ncia dos mesmos no processo de s?ntese e nas diferen?as nas propriedades e desempenho dos p?s obtidos. Os direcionadores-org?nicos foram caracterizados por Termogravimetria (TG).

A quantifica??o de fases e a determina??o de par?metros estruturais foram determinados por refinamento atrav?s do M?todo Rietveld. A metodologia empregada foi eficaz para obten??o de ?xidos mistos Ni-Mn. Os combust?veis utilizados influenciaram na obten??o da fase espin?lio e na morfologia das amostras, sendo que as amostras calcinadas a 950?C s?o monof?sicas independentemente do direcionador.

Initially, the precursors citrates of iron, nickel and zinc were mixed and homogenized. The stoichiometric compositions were calcined at 350?C without atmosphere control and the calcined powders were pressed in pellets and toroids. The pressed material was sintered from 1100? up to 1200?C in argon atmosphere. The calcined powders were characterized by XRD, TGA/DTG, FTIR, SEM and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). All sintered samples were characterized using XRD, SEM, VSM and measurements of magnetic permeability and loss factor were obtained. It was formed pure ferromagnetic phase at all used temperatures. The Rietveld analyses allowed to calculate the cations level occupation and the crystallite size. The analyses obtained nanometric crystals (12-20 nm) to the calcined powder. By SEM, the sintered samples shows grains sizes from 1 to 10 μm. Sintered densities (ρ) were measured by the Archimedes method and with increasing Zn content, the bulk density decrease. The better magnetization results (105-110 emu/g) were obtained for x=0,6 at all sintering temperatures. The hysteresis shows characteristics of soft magnetic material. Two magnetization processes were considered, superparamagnetism at low temperature and the magnetic domains formation at high temperatures. The sintered toroids presents relative magnetic permeability (μr) from 7 to 32 and loss factor (tanδ) of about 1. The frequency response of toroids range from 0,3 kHz to 0,2 GHz. The composition x=0,5 presents both greater μr and tanδ values and x=0,6 the most broad range of frequency response. Various microstructural factors show influence on the behavior of μr and tanδ, such as: grain size, porosity across grain boundary and inside the grain, grain boundary content and domain walls movement during the process of magnetization at high frequency studies (0,3kKz 0,2 GHz) / Foram sintetizadas diferentes composi??es da ferrita Ni1-xZnxFe2O4 com 0,4 ≤ x ≤ 0,6 pelo uso do m?todo dos citratos precursores.

As composi??es estequiom?tricas foram calcinadas em atmosfera ambiente na temperatura de 350?C e depois prensadas em pastilhas e tor?ides. As amostras prensadas foram sinterizadas nas temperaturas de 1100?, 1150? e 1200?C em atmosfera de arg?nio.

Os melhores resultados de magnetiza??o foram obtidos para x=0,6 nas tr?s temperaturas de sinteriza??o, variando de 105 a 110 emu/g. As histereses mostram um perfil de materiais magn?ticos moles. Dois processos de magnetiza??o foram considerados, o superparamagnetismo a baixa temperatura (350?C) e a forma??o de dom?nios magn?ticos em altas temperaturas. Os materiais sinterizados apresentam permeabilidade (μ) de algumas unidades, de 7 a 30, e perdas magn?ticas (tanδ) por volta de 1.

The compounds were prepared: according to the concept of chemical propellants and heated in the microwave oven with power 7000kw. The synthesized material was characterized by absorption spectroscopy in the infrared (FTIR), Xray diffraction (XRD) using the Rietveld refinement, specific surface area (BET) , scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with aid of energy dispersive analysis (EDS) and magnetic measurements (MAV). The results obtained from these techniques confirmed the feasibility of the method of synthesis employed to obtain the desired spinel structure, the ferrite, nickel ferrite as for nickel doped with cobalt. The results from XRD refinement ally showed the formation of secondary phases concerning stages α - Fe2O3, FeO, (FeCo)O e Ni0. On the other hand, there is an increase in crystallite size with the increase of cobalt in systems, resulting in an increased crystallinity. The results showed that the BET systems showed a reduction in specific surface area with the increase of cobalt and from the SEM, the formation of irregular porous blocks and that the concentration of cobalt decreased the agglomerative state of the system. The magnetic ferrites studied showed different characteristics according to the amount of dopant used, ranging from a very soft magnetic material (easy magnetization and demagnetization ) - for the system without cobalt - a magnetic material with a little stiffer behavior - for systems containing cobalt. The values of the coercive field increased with the increasing growth of cobalt, and the values of saturation magnetization and remanence increased up to x = 0,25 and then reduced. The different magnetic characteristics presented by the systems according to the amount of dopant used, allows the use of these materials as intermediates magnetic / As ferritas de composi??o Ni1−xCoxFe2O4 (0≤x≤0,75) foram obtidas atrav?s do m?todo de s?ntese assistida por microondas e tiveram suas propriedades estruturais e magn?ticas avaliadas em fun??o do efeito da substitui??o do Ni pelo Co. Os compostos foram preparados de acordo com o conceito da qu?mica dos propelentes e aquecidos em forno micro-ondas com pot?ncia 7000kw.

Os resultados do DRX, aliado ao refinamento, mostraram a forma??o de fases secund?rias tais como as fases α - Fe2O3, FeO, (FeCo)O e Ni0. Por outro lado, observou-se um aumento no tamanho do cristalito com o incremento do cobalto nos sistemas, implicando em um aumento da cristalinidade. Os resultados do BET mostraram que os sistemas apresentaram uma redu??o da ?rea superficial espec?fica com o incremento do cobalto e a partir do MEV observou-se a forma??o de blocos porosos irregulares e que o aumento da concentra??o de cobalto dimunuiu o estado de aglomera??o dos sistemas. As ferritas estudadas apresentaram caracter?sticas magn?ticas diferenciadas de acordo com a quantidade do dopante utilizado, variando de um material magn?tico bastante mole (f?cil magnetiza??o e desmagnetiza??o) - para o sistema sem cobalto - a um material magn?tico com comportamento um pouco mais duro - para os sistemas contendo cobalto. Os valores do campo coercitivo aumentaram com o crescente incremento do cobalto, e os valores de magnetiza??o de satura??o e reman?ncia aumentaram at? x=0,25 e depois reduziram. As caracter?sticas magn?ticas diferenciadas apresentadas pelos sistemas, de acordo com a quantidade de dopante utilizado, permite o uso desses materiais como magn?ticos intermedi?rios

The value of x was divided by 2 in cases where M equals Mn and Co conjugates. We used the citrate precursor method and heat treatment to obtain the phases at 1100?C. The materials were characterized by XRD, TGA/ DTGA, SEM, MAV and reflectivity measurements by the method of waveguide. Powders to 350?C/3.5 h were crystalline and nanosized. According to the results this temperature all powders have a percentage of ferrite phase over 90%. The composition had the addition of Mn and Co simultaneously showed a higher percentage of secondary phase NiO, 5.8%. The TGA/DTGA curves indicate that this sample reached phase (s) crystalline (s) at lowest temperatures. The X-ray diffractograms of the samples calcined at 350?C and 1100?C were treated with the Rietveld refinament technique. The powders calcined at 1100 ?C/3h in air show to be 100% except spinel phase composition with 0.02 doping. The micrographs show clusters of particles with sizes smaller than 1 μm in calcination temperature of 1100?C which agreed with the result of Rietveld refinement. In the compositions doped with Mn were higher values of magnetization (45.90 and 53.20 Am2/kg), which did not cause high microwave absorption. The theoretical calculation of magnetization (MT) was consistent with the results, considering that there was agreement between the increase of magnetization experimental and theoretical. It was observed that there was the interrelation of the final effect of absorption with the thickness of MARE, the composition of ferrimagnetic materials and in particular the specific values of frequency. The analysis shows that the reflectivity increases in the concentration of cobalt increased the frequency range and also for absorption 10.17 GHz and 84%, respectively. The best result of chemical homogeneity and the value of 2.96 x 10-2 tesla coercive field were crucial for high performance ferrite absorber with 0.1 cobalt. The Cobalt has high magnetocrystalline anisotropy, it is associated with an increased coercive field, Hc. Therefore, this property improves the results of reflectivity of spinel ferrites / Foram sintetizadas ferritas do tipo espin?lio com f?rmula geral Ni0,8Mg0,2-xMxFe2O4, onde M representa os dopantes Mn, Co ou Mn + Co simultaneamente, x varia para os valores 0,02; 0,05 e 0,1. O valor de x foi dividido por 2 nos casos em que M equivale a Mn com Co conjugados. Foi utilizado o m?todo dos citratos precursores e tratamento t?rmico na obten??o das fases a 1100?C. Os materiais foram caracterizados por DRX, TGA/DTGA, MEV, MAV e medidas de refletividade pelo m?todo de guia de ondas. Os p?s a 350?C/3,5h foram cristalinos e nanom?tricos. De acordo com os resultados nesta temperatura todos os p?s apresentam um percentual de fase ferrita superior a 90%. A composi??o que teve a adi??o de Mn e Co simultaneamente apresentou maior percentual de fase secund?ria NiO, 5,8%. As curvas TGA/DTGA indicam que essa amostra alcan?ou fase(s) cristalina(s) em temperaturas mais baixas. Os difratogramas de raios X das amostras calcinadas a 350?C e 1100?C foram tratados pela t?cnica de refinamento Rietveld. Os p?s calcinados a 1100?C/3h em atmosfera ambiente mostram ser 100% de fase espin?lio exceto a composi??o com 0,02 de dopantes. As micrografias apresentam aglomerados de part?culas com tamanhos menores que 1 μm na temperatura de calcina??o de 1100?C, o que concordou com o resultado de refinamento Rietveld. Nas composi??es dopadas com Mn ocorreram os maiores valores de magnetiza??o (45,90 e 53,20 Am2/kg), o que n?o acarretou alta absor??o de microondas. O c?lculo te?rico da magnetiza??o (MT) foi coerente com os resultados, considerando-se que houve concord?ncia entre o aumento das magnetiza??es experimental e te?rica. Observa-se que houve interrela??o do efeito final de absor??o com a espessura do MARE, a composi??o do material ferrimagn?tico em particular e os valores espec?ficos de freq??ncia. A an?lise de refletividade indica que o aumento na concentra??o de cobalto aumentou a faixa de freq??ncia e a absor??o para 10,17 GHz e 84%, respectivamente. O resultado indica que a melhor homogeneidade qu?mica e o valor 2,96 x 10-2 tesla de campo coercitivo foram determinantes para o alto desempenho absorvedor da ferrita com 0,1 de cobalto. O Cobalto tem alta anisotropia magnetocristalina, isto est? associado ao aumento do campo coercitivo, Hc. Portanto, essa propriedade melhora os resultados de refletividade das ferritas espin?lio
