Abstract

Bismuth-doped cobalt ferrite CoBi x Fe(2−x)O4 with x = 0, 0.1,0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 have been prepared using powder metallurgy route. The structural, morphological, elemental, magnetic and optical properties have been investigated using X-ray diffractometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-rays, vibrating sample magnetometer and ultraviolet–visible spectrometer, respectively. X-ray diffractometer analysis confirms the formation of single-phase cubic spinel structure. As the substitution of larger ionic radii Bi3+ ions increases in cobalt ferrite which is responsible to increase the lattice parameters and decrease the crystallite size. SEM micrographs revealed the spherical shape of the particles with the nonuniform grain boundaries. The saturation magnetization decreases and bandgap energy increases as the concentration of non-magnetic Bi3+ ions increases.
