Investigating the magnetic domain structure and photonics characters of Singled Phased hard ferromagnetic Ferrite MFe3O4 (M= Co2+, Zn2+, Cd2+) Compounds

The impact of transition metals on ferrite (iron (III) oxide) compounds is investigated in this study. Ferrite samples were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. X-ray analysis unveiled the presence of the Fe-phase in the trivalent state, showcasing a single-phased cubic spinel framework with a preferred orientation along the (311) reflection plane. Crystallite sizes were determined for CdFe3O4, ZnFe3O4, and CoFe3O4 utilizing the Scherer equation, yielding values of 10.54 nm, 18.76 nm, and 32.63 nm, respectively. Zinc ferrite displayed an intermediate photonic nature compared to cobalt and cadmium ferrite, with cadmium ferrite showing high optical losses and cobalt ferrite exhibiting minimal optical losses. EDX analysis confirmed the presence of Zn2+, Co2+, Fe3+, Cd2+, and O2? ions in the correct ratios, supporting the intended stoichiometric composition. Optical assessment revealed that CoFe3O4 nanoparticles are well-suited for optoelectronic devices, ultraviolet detectors, and infrared (IR) detectors. VSM measurements of cobalt ferrite exhibited higher coercivity and magnetic saturation compared to other samples. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy revealed multiple colors, including cyan, green, and yellow, at different wavelengths for the ferrite samples. These findings suggest that the synthesized samples are suitable materials for high-frequency devices owing to their robust magnetic properties. Cadmium ferrite displayed a multi-magnetic domain structure, contrasting with the single-magnetic domain structure observed in zinc and cobalt ferrite

Advance effect of magnetic field on the rheological properties of manganese zinc ferrite ferrofluid

The rheological characteristics of manganese zinc (Mn-Zn) ferrite magnetic nanofluid synthesized using co-precipitation technique were examined in the absence and presence of magnetic fields. The research formulates required conditions needed for the formation of a gelly-like structure. The impact of magnetic field and temperature on the rheological properties of Mn-Zn ferrite ferrofluid is investigated. When a magnetic field was applied, higher magnetoviscoelasticity and magnetoviscosity were formed. Analysis was also done on other rheological parameters, such as the damping factor, which is crucial for regulating and restricting vibrations in a system. A stiff, gel-like structure is produced when a magnetic field is applied, and the gel-like quality grows as the magnetic field increases; when the magnetic field is removed, the gel-like and rigidity of the structure is lost. At low temperatures, the liquid phase is dominated by solid-like particles, whereas at high temperatures, the liquid-like structure is dominant. This study reveals the conditions required for the creation of high viscous effect and the viscoelastic behavior induced by the field offers important insights for optimizing the Mn-Zn ferrite ferrofluid for a range of applications. Other criterial for gel-like structure formation such as low torque and deflection angle of the ferrofluid were also established.
