摘要

We report a facile synthesis of Mg0.5Zn0.5Fe2−xNdxO4, (x = 0, 0.025, 0.050, 0.075, 0.1) employing the co-precipitation technique and the subsequent investigation of Nd3+ ion doping on the structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties of Mg–Zn ferrite. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the cubic spinel structure, with the crystallite sizes of samples lying between 8 and 11 nm. FTIR study elucidated the spinel phase formation for all the compositions. Each sample demonstrated low retentivity, coercivity, and hysteresis loss, suggesting their super-paramagnetic behavior. Optical analysis revealed a progressive reduction in the bandgap values with increasing Nd3+ ion doping, indicative of a redshift in the samples. Impedance spectroscopy examined the room-temperature frequency-dependent electrical and dielectric characteristics from 100 Hz to 100 MHz. These dielectric properties were damped by Nd3+ ion inclusion and increasing the frequency. Impedance and modulus studies have been carried out and the effect of Nd3+ ion doping was studied and showed smaller grains with more grain boundaries in the samples.
