| Summary: | Cobalt-substituted barium monoferrite with theformula BaCoxFe2-xO4 (x = 0.0 – 0.4, step 0.1) has been preparedthrough the sol-gel autocombustion method. Phase purity forprepared samples sintered at 700 and 1050 ̊C was analyzed byX-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns that indicated the formationof the typical orthorhombic phase for the samples. Fouriertransforminfrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to investigatethe effect of cobalt doping on the vibrational modes of thestudied samples. Scherrer and Williamson-Hall formulae wereused to define the microstrian and the crystallite size being inthe range of 44.1 to 59.7 nm, which was further confirmed withtransmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. Magneticcharacteristics including magnetic saturation and coercivitywere obtained from hysteresis loops traced using vibratingsample magnetometry (VSM). Magnetic properties werecorrelated with the composition of the prepared samples.Finally, dielectric measurements were operated to furtherconfirm the structural and magnetic analysis. |
