Structural and tunable dielectric properties of cobalt ferrite-based nanocomposites

Nanocomposites C:S-1:4 comprising cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ), strontium ferrite (SrFe 12 O 19 ) and C:B-1:4 containing cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ), barium ferrite (BaFe 12 O 19 ) were synthesized in weight ratios of 1:4 by chemical co-precipitation route with higher content corresponding to SrFe...

Description
Summary:Nanocomposites C:S-1:4 comprising cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ), strontium ferrite (SrFe 12 O 19 ) and C:B-1:4 containing cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ), barium ferrite (BaFe 12 O 19 ) were synthesized in weight ratios of 1:4 by chemical co-precipitation route with higher content corresponding to SrFe 12 O 19 and BaFe 12 O 19 . Rietveld refinement was employed to confirm the presence of independent CoFe 2 O 4 , SrFe 12 O 19 and BaFe 12 O 19 phases. The average crystallite size of CoFe 2 O 4 and SrFe 12 O 19 in C:S-1:4 was observed as 20 nm and 56 nm which depicts an increase as compared to individual components. The observed lattice strain in C:S-1:4 was 0.05% and 0.03% for CoFe 2 O 4 and SrFe 12 O 19 . In C:B-1:4, the value of strain was 0.06% and 0.04% for CoFe 2 O 4 and BaFe 12 O 19 . Increased lattice strain was observed in the prepared composites. Increase in impedance for the prepared composites was observed from measurements performed in the frequency range 20 -10 6  Hz. Conduction mechanism was explained by overlapping large polaron tunneling model. Dielectric loss measurements for the prepared composites were observed to decrease establishing their usage in microwave applications.
