摘要

Co2+ doped La2CuO4 nanoparticles are prepared by combustion method. The prepared samples are analysed such as structural, magnetic, functional and optical characterization. The development of single-phase orthorhombic crystals with a Bmab space group was verified by X-ray diffraction patterns. The monophasic orthorhombic lattice structure of the material has crystallite size that falls between 28 and 41 nm. The lattice constant falls between a = 5.361 Å − 5.349 Å, b = 5.410 Å − 5.399 Å & c = 13.160 Å − 13.148 Å. The XRD of La2CuO4 perovskite nanomaterials correspond well with the calculated ones, with χ2 values closer to 1. Energy gap values decreases from 1.75 to 1.68 eV due to the quantum confinement. The hysteresis curves recorded at 300 K show that coercivity ranges from 210.09 to 177.37 Oe as the content decreases, confirming that the crystallite size increase. The samples were with soft ferromagnetic behavior found in the VSM study.
