摘要

Sol-gel synthesized Zn0.1Co0.9Fe2O4 was characterized extensively for its structural, magnetic, and optical and dielectric properties in terahertz frequencies. X-ray diffractometry confirmed the pure cubic spinel phase (space group: Fd-3 m). Rietveld analysis in consonance with the room temperature 57Fe- Mössbauer data confirmed the inverse spinel structure. Field and temperature dependent magnetization revealed typical ferrimagnetic behaviour with a decent saturation magnetization of 88 emu/g. Terahertz time-domain spectrum in frequency range of 0.3–2.0 THz demonstrated a nearly constant refractive index ~ 2.95 and a low extinction coefficient, indicative of weak absorption and minimal dielectric loss. The real part of the complex dielectric permittivity exhibited remarkable stability (~ 8.94), while the imaginary part displayed negligible dispersion across the measured frequency range. These results demonstrate that low-level Zn substitution effectively tailors the electromagnetic response of cobalt ferrite, positioning Zn0.1Co0.9Fe2O4 as a promising candidate for high-frequency applications.
