Experiment results clearly showed that the pure M-type crystal phase was successfully obtained when the La-Co substitution amountx did not exceed 0.3. However, the single M-type phase structure transformed to multiphase structure with further increased x, where the M-type phase coexisted with the non-magnetic phase such asα-Fe2O3 phase, La2O3 phase, and LaCoO3 phase. Appropriate La-Co substitution improved theMs (>62 emu/g),Ha (>1400 kA/m), andHci (>320 kA/m) for the ferrites withx varying from 0.1 to 0.3, but theTC decreased with increasing substitution amount. More-over, the microwave sintered ferrites could provide largerHci and similarMs compared with the conventional sintered ferrites.展开更多

New strategies for the desulfurization of fuels have been explored to meet the urgent need to produce cleaner gasoline. Adsorptive desulfurization（ADS） is one of the most promising complementary and alternative methods. Herein,nanocrystalline ferrite adsorbents were synthesized from metal nitrates and urea using a microwave assisted combustion method. A series of ADS experiments were performed using a fixed‐bed reactor to evaluate the ADS reactivity over the ferrites, which was found to have the order MgFe2O4〉NiFe2O4〉CuZnFe2O4〉ZnFe2O4〉CoFe2O4. This effect is explained by the fact that the low degree of alloying of Mg‐Fe and the doped Mg increased the interaction between Fe and S compounds,leading to a significant improvement in the desulfurization capability of the adsorbent.Additionally, Mg can dramatically promote the decomposition of thiophene. X‐ray diffraction and Mosbauer spectroscopy were used to characterize the fresh, regenerated, and sulfided adsorbents.Although the ferrite adsorbents were partially sulfided to bimetallic sulfides during the adsorption process, they were successfully regenerated after calcining at 500 °C in air.展开更多

The single SrM phase was detected by XRD in the as-received samples by controlling the Fe contents in the reagents. The substitution of La^3＋and Zn^2＋ obviously increased the magnetic properties of the as-prepared samples. The maximum improvements of Br, Hcb and （BH）m were 14.4%, 15.3% and 30.7%, respectively compared with that of the samples without La-Zn substitution. Microstructure observation by SEM showed that the SHS method benefited forming the better particle features and achieving the higher Hcj in comparison with the traditional firing method.展开更多

Then, the effects of CuO addition on the microstructure and temperature dependence of magnetic properties of MnZn ferrites were investigated by characterizing the fracture surface micrograph and measuring the magnetic properties over a temperature ranging from 25 to 120 C. The results show that the lattice constant and average grain size increase with the increase of CuO concentration. When the CuO concentration is below 0.07 wt.%, the initial permeability and saturation magnetic flux density increase monotonously, and the temperature of the secondary maximum peak in the curve of initial permeability versus temperature and the lowest power loss shift to a lower temperature with the increase of CuO concentra-tion. However, excessive CuO concentration （0.07 wt.%） results in abnormal grain growth and porosity increase, which causes the initial permeability and saturation magnetic flux density decrease and the power loss increase at room temperature. Furthermore, the temperature of the secondary maximum peak in the curve of initial permeability versus temperature and the lowest power loss shift to a higher temperature.展开更多

Curie temperature TC obtained from AC susceptibility data decreases with increasing x.展开更多

文摘Rare earth metal ferrites-based heterojunctions have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their exceptional photocatalytic properties and potential applications in water treatment and energy conversion.The incorporation of rare earth metal ferrites into heterojunction photocatalytic systems enhances light absorption,charge separation and photocatalytic efficiency.This review comprehensively discusses some common types of rare earth metal ferrites such as LaFeO_(3),GdFeO_(3),SmFeO_(3),PrFeO_(3)and CeFeO_(3)and their properties as photocatalysts.The photocatalytic pollutants removal and energy conversion mechanisms are discussed in detail and various types of heterojunctions reported in literature based on rare earth metal ferrites and their synthetic routes are also explored.The recent key findings and advances in the heterojunctions based on these rare earth metal ferrites for the pollutants removal and energy conversion applications are summarized.Despite notable progress in enhancing photocatalytic efficiency and stability,several challenges remain.Current research highlights improvements in material synthesis and performance,but issues such as high production costs,scalable synthesis and limited long-term stability persist.Future directions should focus on exploring uncharted applications,novel material combinations and enhancing the practical implementation of these heterojunctions to fully exploit their potential in environmental and energy technologies.

文摘Rare earth(RE)doped ferrites with the chemical formula Cu_(0.3)Zn_(0.3)Mg_(0.4)T_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4)(x=0,0.1;T=La,Ce,Sr)were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method.The structural,optical,electrical and humidity sensing properties of Cu-Mg-Zn ferrites with rare earth element doping were investigated.Single-phase cubic spinel structure was confirmed via X-ray diffraction(XRD),and the crystal size ranges fro m 22.12 to 63.17 nm according to the Scherrer formula and from 25.66 to 67.46 nm according to the Williamson-Hall method.Po rous structure and elemental characterization of the samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The optic band gap varies between 2.21 and 2.49 eV.Electrical measurements were conducted in the frequency range of 1 Hz-20 MHz and temperature range of 25-400℃.It has been determined that the dielectric results are consistent with the Maxwell-Wagner method and exhibit a non-Debye relaxation model,as observed from the Nyquist plots.At a minimum frequency value of 1 Hz,the dielectric constants for pure,Ce,Sr,and La samples are 9×10^(4),5×10^(4),1×10^(8),and 2×10^(5) at 25℃,and 1.85×10^(8),1.34×10^(8),1.15×10^(10),and 4.4×10^(8)at 400℃.In the same order,for the maximum frequency value of 20 MHz,the dielectric constants at 25℃are 169,166,3799,and 60,while at 400℃they are 734,624,12108,and 774.The La doped sample's low dielectric loss makes it suitable for high-frequency applications.Humidity measurements were performed at room temperature and in the 5%-95%relative humidity range.The humidity properties of the samples were investigated through humidity mapping,sensitivity,hysteresis,and long-term stability tests.Compared to other samples,the results indicate that Ce exhibits better humidity performance with 99%sensitivity and the highest repeatability(91.2%).These results show that Ce-doped ferrite can be used as a low-cost,high-performance humidity sensor.

文摘W-type barium-nickel ferrite(BaNi_(2)Fe_(16)O_(27))is a highly promising material for electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption be-cause of its magnetic loss capability for EMW,low cost,large-scale production potential,high-temperature resistance,and excellent chemical stability.However,the poor dielectric loss of magnetic ferrites hampers their utilization,hindering enhancement in their EMW-absorption performance.Developing efficient strategies that improve the EMW-absorption performance of ferrite is highly desired but re-mains challenging.Here,an efficient strategy substituting Ba^(2+)with rare earth La^(3+)in W-type ferrite was proposed for the preparation of novel La-substituted ferrites(Ba_(1-x)LaxNi_(2)Fe_(15.4)O_(27)).The influences of La^(3+)substitution on ferrites’EMW-absorption performance and the dissipative mechanism toward EMW were systematically explored and discussed.La^(3+)efficiently induced lattice defects,enhanced defect-induced polarization,and slightly reduced the ferrites’bandgap,enhancing the dielectric properties of the ferrites.La^(3+)also enhanced the ferromagnetic resonance loss and strengthened magnetic properties.These effects considerably improved the EMW-absorption perform-ance of Ba_(1-x)LaxNi_(2)Fe_(15.4)O_(27)compared with pure W-type ferrites.When x=0.2,the best EMW-absorption performance was achieved with a minimum reflection loss of-55.6 dB and effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 3.44 GHz.
文摘Copper-zinc-nickel(Cu-Zn-Ni)ferrite nanoparticles are used for wastewater treatment technology.However,low degradation efficiency and stability are two main issues that make them unsuitable for actual production needs.In this paper,the citrate-nitrate auto-combustion method was applied for the formation of Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4);(0≤x≤0.1;step 0.02)(CZNL)nanoferrites.Although the substitution process entails the replacement of a small ion with a larger one,the lattice constant and crystallite size does not exhibit a consistent incremental pattern.This behavior is justified and discussed.The size of all the CZNL ferrite nanoparticles is in the range of 8-12 nm,and the lattice constant is in the range of 8.6230 to 8.4865 nm.The morphological analysis conducted using field emission-scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM)reveals that the CZNL exhibits agglomerated spherical morphology.The energy dispersive X-ray spectrameter(EDAX)analysis was employed to confirm the elemental composition of CZNL nanoferrites.Since the process entails the substitution of Fe^(3+)magnetic ions with nonmagnetic ions La^(3+),the magnetic parameters of CZNL nanoferrites show a general decreasing trend as predicted.At 20 K,saturation magnetization Ms shows an overall drop in its values from 59.302 emu/g at x=0.0-41.295 emu/g at x=0.1,the smallest value of 37.87 emu/g is recorded at x=0.06.the highest coercivity(H_(c)=125.9 Oe)and remanence(M_(r)=13.32 emu/g)are recorded for x=0.08 and x=0.04 nanoferrite,respectvely.The band gap of all the CZNL nanoferrites was determined using the Kubelka-Munk function and Tauc plot for direct permitted transitions.La doping modifies the band gap(within 1.86-1.75 eV),increases light absorption,induces efficient e/h separation and charge migration to Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4)surfaces.The nanoferrite Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(0.06)Fe_(1.94)O_(4)achieves a degradation efficiency of 97.3%for methylene blue(MB)dye removal after just 60 min.After five recycling processes,the nanocatalyst Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(0.06)Fe_(1.94)O_(4)is degraded by 95.83%,resulting in a negligible1.51%decrease in photocatalytic activity efficiency.The new Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(0.06)Fe_(1.94)O_(4)has exceptional photocatalytic activity and remarkable stability,making it a promising candidate for applications in wastewater treatment.
文摘Nanoferrites of the CoMn_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4) series(x=0.00,0.05,0.10,0.15,0.20)were synthesized in this study using the sol-gel auto-combustion approach.The lattice constants were computed within the range of 8.312-8.406Å,while crystallite sizes were estimated to range between 55.20 and 31.40 nm using the Scherrer method.The different functional groups were found to correlate with various ab-sorption bands using Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy.Five active modes were identified by Raman spectroscopy,reveal-ing vibration modes of O2-ions at tetrahedral and octahedral locations.The ferromagnetic hysteresis loop was observed in all the synthes-ized samples,which can be explained by Neel’s model.The results showed that AC conductivity decreased with increasing Mn^(2+)content at the Fe^(2+)site,while the dielectric constant and dielectric loss increased with increasing frequency.Furthermore,the saturation magnetiz-ation(Ms),remnant magnetization(M_(r)),and coercivity(H_(c))all showed declining trends with the increase in Mn^(2+)doping.Finally,the CoMn_(0.20)Fe_(1.8)O_(4) samples showed Ms and M_(r) values ranging from 73.12 to 66.84 emu/g and from 37.77 to 51.89 emu/g,respectively,while Hc values ranged from 1939 to 1312 Oe,after which coercivity increased.Thus,the CoMn_(0.20)Fe_(1.8)O_(4) sample can be considered a prom-ising candidate for magnetic applications.

文摘The intrinsic high magnetocrystalline anisotropy equivalent field can help the hexaferrites break through Snoek’s limit and increase the resonance frequency.This is advantageous for microwave absorption applications in the mid to low-frequency range of gigahertz.In this study,we prepared Z-type Ba_(3)Co_(1.6−x)Zn_(x)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)hexaferrites using the sol-gel auto-combustion method.By changing the ratio of Co and Zn ions,the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of ferrite is further ma-nipulated,resulting in significant changes in their magnetic resonance frequency and intensity.Ba_(3)Zn_(1.6)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)with high-frequency resonance achieved the lowest reflectivity of−72.18 dB at 15.56 GHz,while Ba_(3)Co_(1.5)Zn_(0.1)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)with stronger loss obtained the widest bandwidth of 4.93 GHz(6.14-11.07).Additionally,we investigated surface wave suppression properties previously overlooked.Ba_(3)Co_(1.5)Zn_(0.1)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)can achieve a larger attenuation at low frequency under low thickness,which has an excellent effect on reducing backscattering.This work provides a useful reference for the preparation and application of high-performance magnetic-loss materials.

文摘The La-Co substituted Sr1–xLaxFe12–xCoxO19 (x=0–0.5) ferrites with appropriate Bi2O3 additive were prepared by conventional sintering method and microwave sintering method at low sintering temperatures compatible with LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramics) systems, and their sintering behavior was chiefly investigated, including the crystal structure, saturation magnetizationMs, magnetic anisotropy fieldHa, intrinsic coercivityHci, and Curie temperatureTC. Experiment results clearly showed that the pure M-type crystal phase was successfully obtained when the La-Co substitution amountx did not exceed 0.3. However, the single M-type phase structure transformed to multiphase structure with further increased x, where the M-type phase coexisted with the non-magnetic phase such asα-Fe2O3 phase, La2O3 phase, and LaCoO3 phase. Appropriate La-Co substitution improved theMs (>62 emu/g),Ha (>1400 kA/m), andHci (>320 kA/m) for the ferrites withx varying from 0.1 to 0.3, but theTC decreased with increasing substitution amount. More-over, the microwave sintered ferrites could provide largerHci and similarMs compared with the conventional sintered ferrites.

文摘A series of Cu-substituted Ni_(0.5-x)Cu_xZn_(0.5)Fe_2O_4(x=0.12,0.16,0.20,0.24 and 0.28) spinel ferrites were prepared by conventional ceramic method to investigate the effects of Cu compositional variation on the structure and dielectric properties.XRD patterns demonstrate that all the samples are crystallized in single-phase cubic spinel structure and the lattice constant increases with increasing Cu content.White grains observed by SEM are Cu-rich phase.The dielectric constant versus frequency curve displays a normal dielectric behavior of spinel ferrites.While the frequency dependence of dielectric loss tangent is found to be abnormal,exhibiting a peak at certain frequency for all Cu-substituted Ni-Zn ferrites.A maximum of the resistivity is observed at x=0.2 due to the decrease of hopping electrons between Fe^(2+) and Fe^(3+) in per unit volume,which is in contrast with the Cu content dependence of dielectric constant and dielectric loss.

文摘Sulfur in transportation fuels is a major source of air pollution. New strategies for the desulfurization of fuels have been explored to meet the urgent need to produce cleaner gasoline. Adsorptive desulfurization（ADS） is one of the most promising complementary and alternative methods. Herein,nanocrystalline ferrite adsorbents were synthesized from metal nitrates and urea using a microwave assisted combustion method. A series of ADS experiments were performed using a fixed‐bed reactor to evaluate the ADS reactivity over the ferrites, which was found to have the order MgFe2O4〉NiFe2O4〉CuZnFe2O4〉ZnFe2O4〉CoFe2O4. This effect is explained by the fact that the low degree of alloying of Mg‐Fe and the doped Mg increased the interaction between Fe and S compounds,leading to a significant improvement in the desulfurization capability of the adsorbent.Additionally, Mg can dramatically promote the decomposition of thiophene. X‐ray diffraction and Mosbauer spectroscopy were used to characterize the fresh, regenerated, and sulfided adsorbents.Although the ferrite adsorbents were partially sulfided to bimetallic sulfides during the adsorption process, they were successfully regenerated after calcining at 500 °C in air.

文摘To improve the performance of Ni-Zn ferrites for power field use,the influence of MnO2 additive on the properties of Ni-Zn ferrites was investigated by the conventional powder metallurgy.The results show that MnO2 does not form a visible second phase in the doping mass fraction range of（0-2.0%）.The average grain size,sintering density and real permeability gradually decrease with the increase of the MnO2 content.And the DC resistivity continuously increases with the increase of MnO2 content.The saturation magnetization（magnetic moment in unit mass） first increases slightly when mass fraction of MnO2 is less than 0.4% MnO2,and then gradually decreases with increasing the MnO2 mass fraction due to the exchange interaction of the cations.When the excitation frequency is less than 1 MHz,the power loss（Pcv） continuously increases with increasing the MnO2 content due to the decrease of average grain size.However,when the excitation frequency exceeds 1 MHz,eddy current loss gradually becomes the predominant contribution to Pcv.And the sample with a higher resistivity favors a lower Pcv,except for the sample with 2.0% MnO2.The sample without additive has the best Pcv when worked at frequencies less than 1 MHz;and the sample with 1.6% MnO2 additive has the best Pcv when worked at frequencies higher than 1 MHz.

文摘The La-Zn substituted SrM-type ferrites with the composition of Sr1-xLaxFe12-xZnxO19 （x=0-0.4） were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis （SHS）. The single SrM phase was detected by XRD in the as-received samples by controlling the Fe contents in the reagents. The substitution of La^3＋and Zn^2＋ obviously increased the magnetic properties of the as-prepared samples. The maximum improvements of Br, Hcb and （BH）m were 14.4%, 15.3% and 30.7%, respectively compared with that of the samples without La-Zn substitution. Microstructure observation by SEM showed that the SHS method benefited forming the better particle features and achieving the higher Hcj in comparison with the traditional firing method.

文摘Perovskite-type rare-earth ferrites(REFeO_(3))are promising materials for absorbing electromagnetic(EM)wave pollution.However,insufficient dielectric loss and poor impedance matching are key factors that limit the broader implementation of REFeO_(3).Herein,a series of multicomponent perovskite-type ferrites with strong EM wave absorption capabilities was prepared.Through the synergistic effect of chemical constitution regulation and entropy regulation,optimization of the dielectric loss and impedance matching is achieved by strengthening the structural defect mechanism,thus further adjusting the EM wave absorption performance.Compared with(LaGdSmNdBa)FeO_(3)(HE-1)and(LaGdPrSmNdBa)FeO_(3)(HE-2),(LaGdBa)FeO_(3)(ME-1)and(LaGdSmBa)FeO_(3)(ME-2)exhibit favorable performance,with optimal minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of-56.35 dB(at 11.12 GHz)and-63.25 dB(at 7.22 GHz)and effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 4.46 and 4.72 GHz,respectively.This multicomponent design provides a new strategy for the development of EM wave absorption materials.

文摘The nanocrystalline samarium substituted Co-Zn ferrites with chemical formula Co0.7Zn0.3SmyFe2-yO4(where y=0,0.01,0.02,0.03,0.04) were synthesized by sol-gel autocombustion route.The analysis of Xray diffractograms(XRD) reveals the formation of cubic spinel structure.The planes indexed from XRD analyses were confirmed in the selected area electron diffraction(SAED) image of the sample.Nanocrystalline nature of the particles in the ferrite samples was confirmed by TEM.The morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).Magnetic measurements show an increase in the magnetization for x ≤0.03.The decrease in magnetization due to spin canting is observed for x=0.04.The coercivity depends on Sm3+doping concentration,grain size and saturation magnetization.The complex permeability of the ferrites was analyzed as the function of frequency and Sm3+composition(y).The real part of complex permeability varies linearly with the grain size.
文摘MnZn ferrites with the chemical formula Mn0.68Zn0.25Fe2.07O4 have been prepared by a conventional ceramic technique. Then, the effects of CuO addition on the microstructure and temperature dependence of magnetic properties of MnZn ferrites were investigated by characterizing the fracture surface micrograph and measuring the magnetic properties over a temperature ranging from 25 to 120 C. The results show that the lattice constant and average grain size increase with the increase of CuO concentration. When the CuO concentration is below 0.07 wt.%, the initial permeability and saturation magnetic flux density increase monotonously, and the temperature of the secondary maximum peak in the curve of initial permeability versus temperature and the lowest power loss shift to a lower temperature with the increase of CuO concentra-tion. However, excessive CuO concentration （0.07 wt.%） results in abnormal grain growth and porosity increase, which causes the initial permeability and saturation magnetic flux density decrease and the power loss increase at room temperature. Furthermore, the temperature of the secondary maximum peak in the curve of initial permeability versus temperature and the lowest power loss shift to a higher temperature.
文摘Ferrites having general formula Ni1-xZnxFe2O4 with x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 were prepared by wet chemical co-precipitation method. The structural and magnetic properties were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, magnetization, and AC susceptibility measurements. The X-ray analysis confirmed the single-phase formation of the samples. The lattice parameter obtained from XRD data was found to increase with Zn content x. The cation distribution was studied by X-ray intensity ratio calculations. Magnetization results exhibit collinear ferrimagnetic structure for x≤0.4, and which changes to non-collinear for x〉0.4. Curie temperature TC obtained from AC susceptibility data decreases with increasing x.
文摘The effects of heat treatment conditions on the magnetic properties and microstructure of M-type strontium ferrite according to calcination temperature were analyzed.Strontium ferrite Sr0.06Ca0.52La0.52Fe11.68Co0.22O19magnetic powder was prepared by a standard ceramic process.During experiments,the calcination temperature was varied from 1180 to 1260℃,and sintering temperature was fixed.While the M-phase(SrFe12O19)existed with hematite(Fe2 O3)in the powder calcined at below 1220℃,the pure M-phase was observed in the powder calcined at over1240℃.With an increase in the calcination temperature,the magnetization of the calcined powder increases,meanwhile,the coercivity decreases.The magnetization is improved by decreasing the lattice constant c and activating the Fe3+-OFe3+superexchange interaction,and the coercivity decreases by the large particle sizes due to the grain growth.

文摘Spinel cubic ferrites have huge applications in me mory and high frequency devices.For the improvement of these modern devices,the magnetic coercivity,permeability,and dielectric properties of a ferrite are the important issues.This article focuses on improving the magnetic coercivity,magnetic permeability,and dielectric properties of Co_(0.2)Zn_(0.3)Ni_(0.5)Eu_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4) ferrites,where x=0.00,0.06,and 0.10.The X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM),energy dispersive X-ray(EDX),vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM),and an impedance analyzer were used to characterize the structural,magnetic,and dielectric properties of the samples.The XRD patterns indicate the formation of spinel cubic structure of the samples with a secondary peak(EuFeO_(3))for Eu doped samples.The densities and porosities of the samples follow an inverse trend,where the doped samples’lattice parameters are increased with the increment of rare earth Eu concentration.The FTIR analysis also proves the spinel cubic phase of the samples.The average grain size of the ferrites is obtained via FESEM images,and it is increased from 121 to 198 nm.VSM analysis confirms that doping of the Eu content also changes other hysteresis loop properties of Co_(0.2)Zn_(0.3)Ni_(0.5)Eu_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4) ferrites.Particularly,the coercivity of the Eu doped samples is greater than that of the mother alloy(x=0.00).The EDX study shows that there is no impurity contamination in the ferrites.The permeability and dielectric measurements show an improved quality factor of the Eu-doped samples with low magnetic and dielectric losses.Frequency dependent resistivity and impedance analysis also show the improved nature.From the observed properties of the samples,all the investigated ferrites might be strong candidates for potential applications in memory devices,magnetic sensors,and high frequency applications.

文摘Rare earths(REs) play a key role in distorting spinel structure by creating some defects at the lattice sites and make them suitable for magnetodielectric applications.In the present study,the nanoferrites of CuRE0.02Fe1.98O4,where REs=Y^(3+),Yb^(3+),Gd^(3+),were prepared using one step sol-gel method.The prepared samples are copper ferrite(CFO),yttrium doped copper ferrite(Y-CFO),ytterbium doped copper ferrite(Yb-CFO) and gadolinium doped copper ferrite(Gd-CFO),respectively.The single-phase structure of all the REs doped nanoferrites was determined by X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis.The porosity,agglomerations and grain size of the REs doped copper ferrite were examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) analysis.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)elaborates the phase formation and environmental effects on the REs doped nanoparticles(NPs).The recorded room temperature M-H loops from a vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) elucidate the magnetic properties of the REs doped spinel nanoferrites.The magnetic saturation(Ms) was calculated in the range of 23.08 to 51.78 emu/g.The calculated coercivity values(272.6 to 705.60 Oe) confirm the soft magnetic behavior of REs doped copper ferrites.Furthermore,the electromagnetic and dielectric properties were assessed using a Vector network analyzer(VNA) from 1 to 6 GHz.The permeability,permittivity,dielectric tangent loss and electric modulus of the REs doped spinel ferrites illustrate that the prepared NPs may be suitable for microwave and high frequency applications.
