摘要

The study investigated the structural and morphological characteristics of nanocrystalline Cr₀.₂Ni₀.₈₋ₓCoₓFe₂O₄ samples with xx values of 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6. The samples were synthesized via the sol-gel auto-combustion method, utilizing nitrates as the primary precursors dissolved in distilled water to form a homogeneous solution. The solution’s pH was adjusted incrementally by adding ammonia (NH3) dropwise. Following gel formation, the mixture was stirred continuously on a hot plate at approximately 120 °C to ensure uniformity. The gel underwent auto-combustion, resulting in fine nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the single-phase cubic crystal structure of the Cr₀.₂Ni₀.₈₋ₓCoₓFe₂O₄ samples. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) revealed the homogeneity of the nanoparticles, while energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) verified the presence of the intended elemental composition. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy identified the characteristic bonds associated with the doped elements within the nanocrystalline matrix.
