Enhancement in dielectric behavior of (Ni, Zn)Fe2O4 ferrite
Abstract
In present work, NiFe2O4(NFO), ZnFe2O4 (ZFO) and Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 (NZFO) are synthesized by microwave assisted co-precipitation route. Their structural properties are confirmed by X-ray diffraction and data is fitted through Reitveld refinement using Full-Prof software suite. After refinement, the systematic crystal structures of NFO, ZFO and NZFO compounds are generated using output .cif file by VESTA (Visualization for Electronic and Structural Analysis) program. Structural parameters obtained after refinement and unit cell construction, are systematically tabulated. Room temperature frequency dependence dielectric properties are studied. We found enhanced values of dielectric constant for NZFO than individual NFO and ZFO phases. For NZFO sample, greater electron exchange between Fe2+ and Fe3+ which enhances polarization and dielectric constant.
