Description
Summary:Ferrite compounds have recently attracted significant interest because of their multifunctional properties. This work investigates the optical, magnetic, and dielectric properties of a LiMn Fe O ferrite prepared by a solid-state reaction. Raman spectroscopy analysis substantiated the presence of the 5 active modes representing the vibration of the oxygen anion at both tetrahedral and octahedral sites. The direct optical band gap was estimated to be 3.51 eV, which indicates the semiconductor behavior of the compound. A theoretical modulation of the hysteresis loop was done to confirm the dominance of the ferromagnetic contribution over the antiferromagnetic one. Furthermore, the dielectric permittivity result indicated a colossal value of the order of 10 . The dielectric losses are characterized by the Giuntini law to extract the relaxation process, which is hidden by the DC-conductivity process. Our results indicate the potential of LiMn Fe O for applications in multifunctional devices.
