Abstract

The doping of Zn2+ ions and their effect on the vibrational spectroscopic characteristics of ions with higher absorption capacity were investigated in this study. The powder X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the formation of W-type hexaferrite structure. XRD results were used to determine the crystallite size and lattice constants of the prepared powders. The average crystallite size was found in the range of 35–37 nm and increased with increase in Zn2+ content. The optical properties of BaNi2−xZnxFe16O27 ferrite were determined using infrared spectra within the 400–4000 cm−1 frequency range. The ferrites mentioned in this section were prepared using a conventional double-sintering ceramic technique. During the analysis, two distinct bands were identified in the spectra. The first band, referred to as the high-frequency vibration band ν1, appeared at approximately 589 cm−1. This band is attributed to vibrations occurring at tetrahedral sites within the spinel lattice structure. The second band, known as the low-frequency band ν2, was observed between 440 and 448 cm−1 which it was assigned to the vibrations occurring at the octahedral locations of the hexagonal lattice. The refractive index, absorption coefficient, and reflectance spectra of the doped ferrites were calculated for different levels of Zn doping. The results demonstrated that the optical characteristics of the material changed because of the addition of zinc ions, including an increase in its absorption capacity, decrease in its reflectance, and changes in its refractive index. These findings provide valuable insights into the characteristics of ferrites as a result of dopants and demonstrate the potential of infrared transformation as a powerful tool for analyzing the optical characteristics of doped magnetic materials. The threshold frequency, denoted as νth, was determined to analyze the electronic transitions of the system. As the concentration of Zn ions increased, there was an observed rise in the value of νth. By examining the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, the cation distribution within the mixed ferrite was inferred by examining the FT-IR spectra. The cation distribution was established by correlating the ionic radii associated with each site in the ferrite structure. The application of this research lies in the determination of optical constant properties, with a focus on advancements in nanotechnology. Zn2+ ion doping has been found to significantly influence the vibrational spectroscopy of higher absorption ions, leading to observable changes in their optical properties. This study provides valuable insights into the optical properties of doped systems that can be used in various nanotechnology applications. These findings contribute to the development of novel materials with tailored optical properties, enabling advancements in fields such as optoelectronics, photonics, and sensors.
