Films were deposited from the target onto sapphire (001) substrates heated to 650℃ in an oxygen atmosphere of 100 mTorr. The laser beam was incident On the target face at an angle of 45°. Studies on crystal structure were done by X-ray diffactometry (XRD). The surface texture, cross-section morphology and grain size was observed by JEOL-JSM-6400 scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM) [Model DI 3000, Digital instruments].展开更多

The Seebeck coefficient is negative for all the composition. It clearly speaks that all the considered ferrite compositions behave as n-type semiconductors. Plots of Seebeck coefficient (S) versus temperature shows maximum at Curie temperature. The values of the charge carrier concentration have been computed from the observed values of Seebeck coefficient. The electrical properties of the Ni-Mg mixed ferrites have been measured at room temperature by two-probe method. On the basis of these results an explanation for the conduction mechanism in Ni-Mg mixed ferrites is suggested.展开更多
