Abstract

Mg-substituted ferrites NiMg x Fe1.1−(2/3)x Cr0.9O4 (0≤x≤0.4) were studied using X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. X-ray diffraction patterns show that all samples have cubic spinel structure. The temperature-dependent magnetic measurements revealed that the compensation point T K of NiFe1.1Cr0.9O4 starts to approach the Curie temperature T C as Mg2+ substitution of Fe3+ increases, until the magnetic compensation disappears at composition x=0.4. The magnetization data at all concentrations are discussed in the light of Néel’s molecular field model given the cations distribution obtained using the Mössbauer spectra analysis.
