Preparation and Sinterability of Mn-Zn Ferrite Powders by Sol-Gel Method

Mn-Zn spinel ferrites were synthesized by sol-gel method. Effects of calcined temperature on structure and particle size of MnZnFe2O4 were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD patterns indicate that the ultra fine Mn-Zn ferrite exhibits a spinel crystal structure. SEM images show that the powder fired at 900℃for 2 h has an average diameter of 60 ~ 90 nm. The particle size becomes larger with the increasing of calcined temperature and the distribution of particle becomes even more homogeneous. Sintering behaviors of synthesized ferrite powders depend on the powder characteristics and high temperatures have induced the good crystallization of particles.

Effects of Ce^(3+) doping on the structure and magnetic properties of Mn-Zn ferrite fibers

Effects of Heating Processing on Microstructure and Magnetic Properties of Mn-Zn Ferrites Prepared via Chemical Co-precipitation

The fine powders of Mn-Zn ferrites with uniform size were prepared via chemical co- precipitation method. X-ray diffraction analysis （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM）, frequency dependence of permeability and metallographical microscope were used to investigate the crystal structure, surface topography and magnetic properties of the powders and the sintering samples. The experimental results demonstrate that the precursor powders have formed a pure phase cubic spinel MnxZn1-xfe2O4 while in the reactor and show definite magnetism, which can solve the difficult issue in washing process effectively. When calcined beneath 450 ℃, the powders have intact crystal form and the crystallite size is less than 20 nm. Comparison tests of sintering temperatures show that 1 300 ℃ is the ideal sintering temperature for Mn-Zn ferrites prepared by using the chemical co-precipitation.

Preparation and Magnetic Properties of Mn-Zn Ferrites by the Co-precipitation Method

Mn-Zn ferrites （Mn1-xZnxFe2O4） with different compositions were prepared by the coprecipitation method, and the influences of such synthesis conditions as pH value, composition and volume ratio （R） of the mixed solution and NH4HCO3 solution on their microstructures and magnetic properties were discussed. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and magnetization measurement instrument. Lattice parameters and average crystalline size of the synthesized materials were calculated from the corresponding XRD patterns with the related software Jade.5. For samples of different pH values, only one phase was found when pH values were 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0. The sample with pH value of 7.0 exhibited the highest saturation magnetic induction, the lowest coercive force, and crystallized best. For samples of different R values with pH value of 7.0, only one phase was observed in all samples, and the sample with R value of 2.3 exhibited the highest saturation magnetic induction and the lowest coercive force. The composition has mainly afected the magnetic properties, and the saturation magnetic induction increases with the increase of the content of Zn （x）, but decreases when x is beyond 0.6. The trend of coercive force is on the contrary. However, no magnetism is exhibited when the x value is up to 0.8.

Magnetic properties and microstructures of SnO_2 doped Mn-Zn ferrites

The effects of additive SnO2 (0.4wt.%), with and without SiO2 (0.02wt.%) and/or CaO (0.04wt.%), on the microstructure and magnetic properties of Mn-Zn ferrites were reported. The results reveal that SnO2 on its own increases the initial permeability (μi) slightly, but SnO2 with SiO2 and/or CaO decreases the values of μi. However, ferrites with SnO2 additions have reduced power losses. The separate contributions of hysteresis loss and eddy current loss to the total power loss show that SnO2 (with or without SiO2 and/or CaO) doping increases the hysteresis loss slightly, but SnO2 doping alone reduces the eddy current loss significantly (～14%). The additions of SiO2 or CaO further decrease the eddy current loss, and by interaction of SnO2-CaO-SiO2, the eddy current loss is reduced by more than 20%. These magnetic and microstructural effects were discussed in terms of the additive-impurity interaction, the existence of grain boundary phases, and the effective bulk and grain boundary resistivities of the ferrites.

Effect of V2O5-CaCO3-Nb2O5 Contents on Properties of Low Power Loss Mn-Zn Ferrites

Effect of the content of dopants in the manganese-zinc ferrites on the low power loss is studied by measuring magnetic properties and observing the grain boundary structures. The Mn0.738Zn0.206Fe2.066O4 composition powders were prepared by using conventional ceramic powder processing technique. The microstructure of grain boundary was observed by scanning electron microscope （SEM）. It has been found that power loss is greatly dependent upon the content of the additives.

Magnetic Hysteresis and Complex Initial Permeability of Cr³⁺Substituted Mn-Zn Ferrites

The impact of Cr3+ ion on the magnetic properties of Mn0.50Zn0.50CrxFe2-xO4 (with x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5) has been studied. Ferrite samples were synthesized by combustion method and sintered at various temperatures (1250°C, 1300°C and 1350°C). The structural properties were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction patterns and indicated that the samples possess single phase cubic spinel structure. The lattice parameter decreases with the increase in Cr3+ content, as the ionic radius of Cr3+ ion is smaller than that of Fe3+. The average grain size (D), bulk density (ρB) and initial permeability (μi’ )decreases with increase in Cr3+ content whereas porosity follows its opposite trend. The ρB was found to increase with increase in Cr3+ content as the sintering temperature (Ts) is increased from 1250°C to 1350°C. The Ts affects the densification, grain growth and (μi’ ) of the samples. The (μi’ ) strongly depends on average grain size, density and intragranular porosity. The B-H loops of the compositions were measured at room temperature. The saturation magnetization (Ms), coercivity (Hc) and hysteresis losses were studied as a function of Cr3+ content. The Ms was found to decrease with the increase of Cr3+ content, which is attributed to the dilution of A-B interaction.

Influence of Processing Parameters on the Magnetic Properties of Mn-Zn Ferrites

Pure MnO2, ZnO and Fe2O3 were used to prepare a Mn-Zn Ferrite sample of the nominal composition Mn0.64Zn0.29Fe2.07O4. These oxides were mixed firstly for 1hr, and then were milled for 20 and for 40 hrs. The as-mixed and the milled powders were examined by XRD and ME spectroscopy. The investigated samples were further mixed with PVA, granulated, cold pressed and sintered at different temperatures (1000, 1300 and 1400 oC) for 2 hrs and were then reinvestigated again. The magnetic properties of all samples before and after sintering were characterized using VSM at a field of 15 k Oe. When the powder oxides were milled for 20 hrs, detectable diffusion reaction was observed where the centers of all XRD peaks (due to Fe2O3 and MnO2) shifted to higher 2? angles, suggesting that Zn2+ cations had diffused through Fe3+ and/or Mn4+ lattices. The observed increase in the width of the XRD peaks can be attributed to the refinement of the powders by milling. Milling of the powder for 40 hrs resulted in the formation of spinel phase of (Zn, Fe), but MnO2 was disappeared probably due to the formation of amorphous structure. Sintering at 1000, 1300, and 1400 oC resulted in the formation of different spinel (Mn-Zn) ferrites. The ME measurements followed the gradual formation the manganese zinc ferrite until complete formation which observed in the sample that milled for 40 hrs followed by sintering at 1300 oC for two hrs. However, it can be concluded that, the processing conditions of such sample represent are the best conditions for obtaining a soft manganese zinc ferrite (single phase).

Effect of Nd Doping on Nanosized Mn-Zn Ferrite

Nanosized Mn-Zn ferrite doped with Nd (Mn_ 0.6Zn_ 0.4Nd_xFe_ 2-xO_4) were fabricated by hydrothermal precipitation route and studied by XRD, TEM, DSC and VSM. The effects of Nd doping on manganese zinc ferrites were discussed. The results show that the samples with a small amount of Nd doping are spinel crystal structure and uniformly nanosized particles with little aggregation. DSC analysis of Mn_ 0.6Zn_ 0.4Fe_2O_4 and Mn_ 0.6Zn_ 0.4Nd_ 0.06Fe_ 1.94O_4 samples both present two exothermic peaks ascribed to the redistribution of Mn 2+, Zn 2+ and Fe 3+ ions in the two sub-lattices (tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites), and the oxidation of Mn 2+-ions at higher temperatures respectively. The saturation magnetization (M_s) for Mn_ 0.6Zn_ 0.4Nd_xFe_ 2-xO_4 ferrites increase with (x) up to 0.06 and decrease for higher concentrations. And supermagnetic behavior was observed at 25 ℃ in the M-H loops of Mn_ 0.6Zn_ 0.4Fe_2O_4 and Mn_ 0.6Zn_ 0.4Nd_ 0.06Fe_ 1.94O_4 samples for their extremely small sizes.

Sintering process and grain growth of Mn-Zn ferrite nanoparticles

The density, microstructure and magnetic properties of non-doped Mn-Zn ferrite nanoparticles sintered compacts were investigated. The compacts of non-doped Mn-Zn ferrite nanoparticles were sintered by segmented-sintering process at lower sintering temperature. The density of sintered samples was measured by Archimedes method, and the phase composition and microstructure were examined by XRD and SEM. The sintered Mn-Zn ferrite magnetic measurements were carried out with Vibrating Sample. The results show that the density of sintered compacts increases with the rising of sintering temperature, achieving 4.8245 g·cm-3 when sintered at 900 ℃, which is the optimal density of Mn-Zn functional ferrite needed and from the fractured surface of sintered samples, it can be seen that the grain grows well with small grain size and homogeneous distribution.

Effect of Sintering Temperature on Microwave Absorbing Behaviour of Mn-Zn Ferrite

The microwave absorbing behaviour of Mn-Zn ferrite sintered at 1100,1200,1300,1400 and 1500℃ has been investigated.The phase constitution of the ferrite was analyzed by X-ray diffraction.The results show that the ferrite sintered at 1 500℃ has better microwave absorbing prop- erty than those prepared at other temperatures,due to the increase of turbulent loss generated by the formation of excessive Fe^(2+) in deoxidizing of Fe_2O_3 at high temperatures.

The Influence of Zn²⁺Ions Substitution on the Microstructure and Transport Properties of Mn-Zn Nanoferrites

The effect of Zn2+ ions on the microstructure and electrical properties of Mn1-xZnxFe2O4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5 in steps of 0.1) through a solid state reaction has been investigated. The structural properties have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The XRD analysis confirms that all samples are in a single-phase cubic spinel structure. The experimental lattice parameter (aexp) was decreased with increasing Zn2+ ions substitution due to the smaller ionic radius of zinc content. The crystallite size (t) of samples was estimated by Scherrer’s formula and found in the range (90 - 115 nm). Dc electrical resistivity and Seebeck voltage coefficients were measured as a function of temperature using the two probe methods. The temperature variation of resistivity exhibits two breaks, each break referring to a change in the activation energy. The Curie temperature estimated from dc resistivity measurement decreases with increasing Zn2+ ions. Seebeck voltage coefficient measurements reveal n-type conduction for all samples.

Characterization and Electromagnetic Studies on NiZn and NiCuZn Ferrites Prepared by Microwave Sintering Technique

The low-temperature sintered NiZn and NiCuZn ferrites with the composition of Ni0.40Zn0.60Fe2O4 and Ni0.35Cu0.05Zn0.60 Fe2O4 were respectively synthesized by the microwave sintering method. These powders were calcined, compacted and sintered at 950℃ for 30 min. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the samples indicate the formation of single-phase cubic spinel structure. The grain size was estimated from SEM images which increase with CuO addition. The X-ray density is higher than the bulk density in both the ferrites. The temperature variation of the initial permeability of these samples was carried out from 30℃ to 250℃. The NiCuZn ferrite had higher initial permeability than that of the NiZn ferrite, which could be attributed to the microstructure. Saturation magnetization increases from 40 emug/g (NiZn) to 47 emug/g (NiCuZn). The dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent of NiZn and NiCuZn ferrite samples decreases with increase in frequency exhibiting normal ferrimagnetic behavior. The NiCuZn ferrite had better electro- magnetic properties than the NiZn ferrite.
