Abstract

A series of samples of the system Ni0.65Zn0.35CuxFe2−xO4 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6) are prepared by the usual ceramic technique. X-ray analysis shows that they are cubic spinel (single phase). The lattice parameter, theoretical density (D x), bulk density (D) and the porosity (P) are measured for the samples. The vacancy concentration of oxygen is an important parameter in the sintering process of spinel ferrites. The decrease in the population of Fe3+ ion in the octahedral sites with the introduction of Cu2+ results in the decrease of lattice parameter. The DTA tracing shows a strong exothermic peak at 90°C.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels herkömmlicher keramikchemischer Verfahren wurde eine Reihe von Proben des Systemes Ni0.65Zn0.35CuxFe2−xO4 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 und 0.6) hergestellt. Röntgendiffraktionsanalyse zeigt kubisches Spinell (eine Phase). Es wurden die Gitterkonstanten, die theoretische DichteDx, die RaumdichteD und die PorositätP dieser Proben gemessen. Die Gitterleerstellenkonzentration von Sauerstoff ist ein wichtiger Parameter beim Sintern von Spinellferriten. Die Abnahme der Besetzung mit Fe3+-Ionen bei der Einbringung von Cu2+ führt zu kleineren Gitterkonstanten. DTA-Kurven zeigen einen starken exothermen Peak bei 90°C.
