摘要

This study examines the structural, morphological, elastic, thermal, and magnetic properties of FeCo2O4 (FCO), FeSm0.01Co1.99O4 (Sm-FCO), and FeLa0.01Co1.99O4 (La-FCO) spinel ferrite powders synthesized via the sol-gel method. XRD analysis reveals a dominant cubic spinel phase, with secondary phases resulting from limited rare-earth solubility. In addition, doping with La and Sm induces lattice expansion and increased crystallite size. FESEM shows grain growth with rare-earth doping, while FTIR spectra indicate small shifts in M-O vibrational modes, with an additional band at ~ 650 cm-1 in Sm-FCO linked to a hexagonal Sm phase. Elastic and thermal analysis reveal lattice softening in Sm-FCO and enhancement in La-FCO. Room-temperature magnetic hysteresis loops were fitted with ferromagnetic (FM) and paramagnetic (PM) contributions. FCO and La-FCO samples show dominant FM behavior, with saturation magnetization of 46.6 emu/g and 22.7 emu/g, respectively. In contrast, Sm-FCO exhibits PM behavior and negligible saturation magnetization (0.059 emu/g), attributed to a secondary hexagonal Sm phase. The microwave resonance frequencies are X-band (8-12 GHz) for FCO and C-band (4-8 GHz) for La-FCO, highlighting their potential for high-frequency applications such as radar and satellite communications.
