Effect of Zn Substation on Structural and Magnetic Properties of Cu-Ferrites Nanoparticles

Abstract

In this research prepared samples of CuZn-ferrites were substation of copper ions by zinc ions as a composition formula Cu1-x ZnxFe2O4 ferrite (with x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) and studying the properties of composition using FTIR spectroscopy established creation of spinel ferrite and presented the features of absorption bands around 561.29-405 cm−1. X-ray diffraction (XRD) exposed that the structure of these nano particles is spinel and crystallite size lies in the range (12.22–23.9) nm. observed when added zinc ions, found increase in particle size and lattice constant while decrease in Xrd-density, and also have been identified the behavior of material Ferrite in low frequencies permeability magnetic used LCR meter , found when increasing the frequency (1-200) KHz decries in magnetic permeability (μ′) this usual behavior in ferrites and observed a significant increase in magnetic permeability when increasing zinc ions due to the effect of zinc on the internal structure of copper ferrite. At Low frequency institute that the permeability raises with Zn contented rise from (0 - 0.3) in Cu-ferrites.
