... Substitution or doping with various elements has been investigated to improve the magnetic properties. Among the extensive literature, there are studies involving copper (Cu) as a structural substituent element showing an increase in the magnetization and the coercivity field [4][5][6]. Previously, Banerjee et al. showed that gold enhanced the magnetization of iron oxide nanoparticles [7]. The use of other metals, such as copper, aluminum, and silver, also affects the magnetization and coercivity of SHF [7][8][9][10][11]. ...

In this work, the remanence properties and the hyperfine parameters of the strontium hexaferrite were investigated when a copper layer was deposited on its surface using magnetron sputtering. The magnetic properties and maximum energy product were significantly improved after the copper was deposited on the hexaferrite. The magnetic interactions were studied using IRM and DCD remanent magnetization processes and by the construction of the Henkel plots and the δM curves which allowed us to assess the effect of copper on the observed enhancement of the magnetic properties. X-ray diffraction confirms the copper deposition while scanning electron microscopy shows a homogeneous deposited layer. The Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to analyze the effect of copper on the hyperfine parameters of the iron nuclei. Results showed a competition between the magnetizing-like and the demagnetizing-like interactions in the uncoated hexaferrite. However, the strength of the demagnetization-like interaction is significantly weakened because of the copper layer deposited on the hexaferrite surface. This behavior suggests the emergence of a magnetic coupling with a magnetizing effect. In addition, the Mössbauer analysis revealed that copper increased the hyperfine fields and strongly affected the electronic cloud of the 4fI and 2a iron sites.

Perovskite-type compounds have found application in environmental remediation and in clean energy production, fundamental sectors for sustainable development. A challenge for these materials is the fine-tuning of their chemical composition and their chemical-physical characteristics, for example, microstructure, morphology and ability to form oxygen vacancies, through the introduction of dopant elements. In this work, we studied the effect of Cu doping at the B-site of a Ce, Co-doped strontium ferrate perovskite with chemical composition Sr 0.85 Ce 0.15 Fe 0.67 Co 0.33 O 3-δ. Indeed, Sr 0.85 Ce 0.15 Fe 0.67 Co 0.23 Cu 0.10 O 3-δ and Sr 0.85 Ce 0.15 Fe 0.67 Co 0.13 Cu 0.20 O 3-δ powders, where the B-site was codoped with both cobalt and copper, were synthesised by solution combustion synthesis and characterised for their physical-chemical properties by a multi-analytical approach, to assess their behaviour when subjected to different activation methods. The two codoped perovskites were tested 1) as catalysts in the oxidation of soot after activation at high temperatures, 2) as antibacterial agents in ambient conditions or activated by both UV exposure and low-temperature excitation to induce the generation of reactive species. Results demonstrated that these compounds react differently to various stimuli and that the increasing amount of copper, together with the presence of segregated ceria phase, influenced the materials' features and performances. The knowledge gained on the structure-properties relationships of these materials can inspire other research studies on perovskite oxides application as multifunctional materials for the benefit of the environment, society and economy.

Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) lead-free ceramic has recently gained the attention for the fabrication of nanogenerators. Herein, lead-free piezoceramics (Ba, Ca) (Zr, Ti)O3 was synthesized using the sol-gel method. In order to improve the material properties, Ca²⁺ and Zr⁴⁺ were introduced into the BaTiO3 crystal network to replace Ba²⁺ and Ti⁴⁺, respectively. Subsequently, three flexible nanocomposites were chemically fabricated by mixing polyvinylidene fluoride‐co‐hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) with the commercial BT, the synthesized BZT and BCZT, using the solution‐casting technique. The microstructure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and (SEM). This study illustrates that the combination of both addition Ca²⁺ and Zr⁴⁺ in barium titanate is promising for forming the electroactive β-phase in the nanocomposite. The XRD and FTIR confirmed the formation of the polar β-phase, enhancing piezoelectric properties. The electrical conductivity of the nanocomposite increased with doping in both sites. A maximum output voltage (∼1.8 V) and power (∼1.9 μW) was achieved for composite including BCZT particles. Besides, different sizes and concentrations of BCZT/PVDF-HFP based nanogenerators were constructed. The optimal performance was with nanogenerators of size 2 cm × 2.5 cm and 10 wt % of BCZT powders. Biomechanical foot-tapping achieved a maximum output voltage of 4.55 V, which was high enough to become a potential candidate for a self powered device in future applications.
... In all types of ferrites, the value of δ is also higher for the octahedral sites than for the tetrahedral sites [25][26][27][28][29]. Isomer shift for tetrahedral sites (δ TET of f IV ) occupies the 0.251-0.284 mm/s range, whereas for octahedral sites (δ OCT ) the δ value is found in the range of [35][36][37][38][39]. The values of Fe 2+ ions initially increase with the increase in ginger content, and reached a maximum value of 2.7% for the sample made from 35.0 g of ginger root (C), and then decrease again with higher quantities of ginger extract (D and E). ...

The dried precipitates were preheated at 550 °C/4 h and finally heated at 1200 °C/5 h. The effect of ginger root extract on structural, phase purity, magnetic, Mӧssbauer and low frequency (10 Hz–2 MHz) dielectric properties were investigated. XRD analysis of samples prepared with extracts from 35, 52.5, and 70 g of ginger depicted pure X-phase, while the other samples (0.0, 17.5 g) showed the secondary phase of M-type (BaM, BaFe12O19) along with hematite (12% α-Fe2O3). Hence, samples with greater amounts of ginger extract formed single-phase X-type hexaferrite. Saturation magnetization (MS) varied from 40.8 A m²/kg without ginger extract to 69.8 A m²/kg with extract from 52.5 g ginger, and was <65 A m²/kg for all samples made with the ginger extract. All synthesized samples were relatively soft ferrites, and coercivity increased with amount of ginger extract used. The Mӧssbauer spectra explored six sextets of five magnetic sub-lattices, and the presence of Fe³⁺ (99.4–97.3%) and Fe²⁺ (0.6–2.7%) ions, with more Fe²⁺ present in the extract-derived samples. The variations in MS based on hysteresis loops were in agreement by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The use of the extract also significantly reduced the grain size, from 3.3 μm without ginger extract to 0.7–1.7 μm with the extract, with a corresponding increase in coercivity from 16 to 40–80 kA/m. The samples prepared with extracts from 35 g toand 52.5 g ginger root possessed considerable real dielectric constant compared to the others, but the extract also increased conductivity in the high-frequency region. Complex impedance displayed low values in the high-frequency region, and Cole-Cole plots revealed that the main contribution to conductivity in extract-based samples was from the grains. The reducing action of the green extract not only produced single phase X ferrite, but it also reduced grain size to ∿1–2 μm and greatly increased MS.

SrFe12O19/NiFe2O4 nanocomposites were prepared in the presence of crown flowers extract and the effect of different weight ratios (M:S – 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, 5:5) on structural, microstructural, magnetic, electrical transport, and dielectric properties were studied. The average crystallite size of nanocomposites found was from 25 nm to 44 nm. In addition, it was observed that the crystallite size of the M-phase decreased when the spinel phase increased. XRD analysis depicts the presence of both M and S phases in composites. The M-H loops analysis of SrFe12O19/NiFe2O4 composites indicates that the coercivity (3181 Oe to 326 Oe) and saturation magnetization (57.5 Am²/kg. - 40 Am²/kg.) decreased when the spinel phase amount increased. Nanocomposites with weight ratios 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4 belong to a hard ferrite, while 5:5 shows soft magnetic nature. However, prepared composites possess a multi-domain structure. The weak exchange coupling interactions were found in composites 9:1 and 8:2, whereas the partial exchange coupling interactions were observed in composites 7:3 and 6:4, and perfect exchange coupling interactions were noticed in 5:5.
... Thus, grain size and Sm 3+ content effectively reduce saturation magnetization. The values of squareness ratio (R = M r /M S ) are approximately ≥ 0.5 for all compositions except for x = 0.1, which confirms the single-domain magnetic structure of CoSm x Fe 2-x O 4 nanoferrites [38][39][40]. The larger the grain size, the greater is the flow in the domain movement. ...

Samarium-doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles CoSmxFe2-xO4 (0≤x≤0.1) were synthesized using citrate gel auto-combustion method, followed by annealing at 500 °C for 4 h in air. The physical properties of the samples were evaluated using x-ray difraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Mössbauer, magnetic, and dielectric measurement techniques. Rietveld analysis of XRD data confrmed the formation of a single-phase cubic spinel structure for all compositions. Experimental results indicated that doping with samarium (Sm) strongly afected the magnetic properties of CoSmxFe2-xO4 nanoparticles. The values of saturation magnetization (MS) were reduced from 62.99 (x=0) to 41.17 (x=0.1) emu/g. Room-temperature Mössbauer spectra show two sextets (tetrahedral and octahedral sites), and the values of the hyperfne magnetic feld (Hhf) of both sextets are found to decrease with Sm-doping. The values of the isomer shift show that all Fe-ions are found in the Fe3+ state. The interstitial Sm ions positioned within CoFe2O4 realized a dielectric constant dispersion that displayed a maximum at low frequency. With an increase in samarium ion concentration, the two dielectric relaxations reached a very wide range of frequencies. This can be attributed to the contribution of conduction in the grains and grain boundaries of ferrite. Samples with samarium contents of 0.01 and 0.03 showed high impedance stability at 50 and 150 °C, respectively, rendering them suitable for use as a high-frequency window below 1 kHz.

This paper reports the electrical conduction behaviour of Eu³⁺ substituted barium hexaferrites (BaM) prepared via solution combustion method. The structural analysis confirms formation of hexagonal phase of the prepared samples with a space group p63/mmc (No. 194). The SEM micrographs show that the prepared sample has hexagonal plate like structure. Dielectric constant, dielectric loss and AC conductivity of the prepared samples were calculated over a wide frequency range from 10² Hz to 10⁵ Hz at different temperatures. The temperature dependent dielectric studies were also performed over a temperature range of 30°C–200°C. The non –Debye dielectric nature of the prepared samples and presence of electrical relaxation phenomenon were confirmed from the complex impedance spectroscopy. Electrical modulus analysis confirms that there is negligible electrode effect in prepared the samples. From the frequency dependent AC conductivity studies, we find that the AC conductivity values are constant in the lower frequency region and shift towards the higher value in the higher frequency region, which indicates that the prepared samples follow the Almond-West power law. The AC conductivity values decrease gradually with increase in the concentration of Eu³⁺ ions increases. The dielectric studies show that by doping of Eu³⁺ ions, the dielectric constant increases. So the prepared materials can be applicable for microwave devices applications.
