Abstract

Nanosized spinel ferrites have been attracting considerable attention of researchers for their exciting structural, magnetic and electrical properties. The physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials have been enhanced due to their high surface to volume ratio. The curie temperature, magnetic moment, electrical resistivity and lattice constants are found to be affected by substitution in the spinel lattice and nanoparticle sizes. The present paper describes various synthesis techniques used by researchers to prepare doped (Li, Zn, Ca, Cd, Cr, Ce, Mn, Al) magnesium ferrite nanoparticles and their characteristics. Li substituted magnesium ferrite has the ability to create oxygen vacancies and dissociate water molecule on octahedrally coordinated unsaturated surface cations. With increase in Zn concentration in magnesium ferrite, the transition from ferrimagnetic to super paramagnetic is observed. It was observed that the Curie temperature was decreased with increase in Ca concentration in the ferrite. In CdxMg1-xFe2-yCryO4 ferrite, lattice constant was found to be decreasing with increase in Cr3+ concentration and increasing with increase in Cd2+ concentration. With Ce substitution, magnetic properties were changed. Ms was found first decreasing with increase in Ce3+ content and then increasing. With increase in Mn and decrease in Al content in magnesium ferrite, Ms and squareness ration (Mr / Ms) increases.
