Abstract

In this research work, we report synthesis, structural and other physical properties of Co1 − xCuxFe2O4 [x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.00] spinel ferrites. These materials were synthesized using double calcination solid-state method. To confirm the crystal structure acquired by the samples, we carried out X-ray diffraction characterization and the diffraction data was Rietveld refined. The crystallization of all the samples into cubic (Fd-3 m) phase was ascertained from refinement and the structural parameters obtained there. We examined these spinel ferrite samples for room temperature magnetic properties and from the analysis of magnetic data (M–H Curve), these samples were found to exhibit super-paramagnetic behaviour. The Mossbauer spectral analysis confirms the super-paramagnetic nature and the six-line magnetic pattern arising from the super-exchange interaction among the magnetic ions at tetrahedral and octahedral sites have been witnessed. In addition, the room-temperature frequency-dependent dielectric properties were investigated and the data analysis revealed that these materials exhibit better dielectric properties where dielectric constant is high and dielectric loss values are relatively low. Impedance data study reveals that the samples under observation exhibit deviation from the ideal Debye behaviour and inherit a distribution of time constants. All the characterizations reported here were performed at room temperature.
