Structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of (1-x) ZnFe2O4 - (x) BaTiO3 (x = 0,0.05,0.10,1) system
摘要
The structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of (1-x) ZnFe2O4 - (x) BaTiO3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 1) were systematically studied. Samples were synthesized using the sol-gel auto-combustion method for x = 0 and the conventional ceramic route for x = 0.05, 0.10, and 1. Phase formation was confirmed via X-ray diffraction (XRD), while Raman spectroscopy provided insights into vibrational and rotational modes. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to analyze morphology. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) verified the oxidation states of Ti, Fe, and O, confirming the presence of Ti and Fe in multivalent states. Electrical studies revealed negative permittivity in Zinc ferrite-containing samples, well-explained by Drude-Lorentz theory. Magnetic properties were investigated through temperature-dependent magnetization measurements in ZFCW, FCC, and FCW modes, while M-H loops provided insights into saturation magnetization (Ms), remanence (Mr), and coercivity (Hc), all of which increased with decreasing temperature. These findings highlight the potential of these metamaterials for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and coil-less inductor applications.
