Conclusions
-
1.
It has been shown by x-ray diffraction analysis that, in ferrites represented by the general formula NiRxFe2−xO4, where R is La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, or Eu and x = 0.01–0.1, Fe3+ ions are replaced by Rn+ ions at degrees of substitution x ≤0.05.
-
2.
As the value of x is raised to 0.03, the maximum magnetic permeability of the ferrites grows, which is due to the fact that the addition of small amounts of the rare-earth elements to nickel ferrite results in a larger and denser grain.
-
3.
The electrical resistivity of the ferrites sharply falls in the presence of small amounts of the REE (up to 0.5 wt.%). The results obtained are explained within the framework of the zone model of the electrical conductivity of ferrites, with allowance for the effects of REE ions upon carrier concentration.
