Abstract

Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Applied Science & Technology
Co0.8MnxFe2.2-xO4 (x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) powders were prepared by a sol-gel process and annealed at different temperatures (T-a= 600, 800, 1000, and 1200 degrees C). X-ray diffractometer results reveal that all the samples are inverse-type spinel with cubic structure. The magnetic properties were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer and the results indicate that the saturated magnetization (M-s) and coercivity (H-c) decrease with increasing Mn content x. The decrease in M-s is related to the magnetic moment of Mn3+ is lower than that of Fe3+. The decrease in H-c is ascribed to the content decrease in Co2+ on B sites. Increasing grain sizes at higher annealing temperature (T-a) also have an intensive influence on H-c. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.3072441]
