ABSTRACT

Nano particles of spinel ferrites are of great interest in fundamental science. Spinel ferrites have been investigated in recent years for their useful electrical and magnetic properties. Copper zinc ferrites (Cu0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) nano particles were prepared by Co-precipitation method under stoichiometric conditions. The structural, morphological, electrical and magnetic properties of the spinel ferrite sample has investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscope, FTIR, Dielectric and Vibrating sample magnetometer studies. X-ray results confirm single-phase cubic spinel structure. The crystalline size is good agreement with scanning electron microscope analysis. The energy dispersive X-ray results confirmed the ratio of the transition metal atom according to the nominal stoichiometry. The functional grouphs of the magnetic material were identified from FTIR spectrum. The measurement of dielectric constant showed increasing behavior with increase of temperature. The magnetic properties of the sample were measured by vibration sample magnetometer. Key words: Cu0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4, SEM, VSM, FTIR, Dielectric studies.
