Abstract

In this paper, La3+ substituted M-type Ba–Ni hexaferrite nanoparticles having composition Ba0.8Ni0.2Fe12-xLaxO19 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) were prepared by co-precipitation route. The phase of the grown NPs was confirmed using X-ray diffraction analysis and results reveal the growth of M-type hexaferrite NPs as a major phase. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was employed to determine the elemental composition of prepared samples. The FTIR spectra of synthesized samples confirm the bond formation of M-type hexaferrites. The optical bandgap was determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy and the results exhibit an increase in optical bandgap with decreasing crystallite size. The vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) technique was used to analyze the effect of dopant on the magnetic properties like coercivity, saturation magnetization, and remanence of the synthesized samples. The electrical resistivity was measured by two probe method and it was observed that the activation energy shows a decreasing trend with increase in La content. The highly resistive nature of prepared nano ferrites indicates the potential to use these ferrites for high-frequency applications.
