Abstract

Two series of Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2–xO4Rx (where R = Ce, Y, and x = 0.00 to 0.15) spinel nanoferrites were synthesized via a co-precipitation approach. Methods including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to examine the samples’ structural, morphological, optical, and magnetic features. XRD confirmed a cubic spinel structure, with crystalline sizes lies between 16 and 24 nm for Ce3+ added and 15 and 19 nm for Y3+ added ferrite NPs. XRD analysis showed that Ce3+ and Y3+ ions were successfully incorporated into the Mn–Zn spinel structure. FTIR spectra validated the presence of tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites in all compositions of Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2–xO4Rx nanoparticles, indicative of spinel ferrites exhibiting a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. SEM studies revealed agglomerated nanoparticles with spherical morphology. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) verified that all elements are present in the composition. The TEM micrograph shows the existence of slightly agglomerated nanoparticles. Magnetic properties, including saturation magnetization and coercivity, were analyzed using M–H hysteresis curves, showing dependence on rare earth substitution and A–B exchange interactions. The lower value of coercivity (Hc) indicatied of soft nature of NPs. The multidomain nature of the nanoferrites indicates their potential for electronics applications.
