DISTANCE BETWEEN MAGNETIC IONS AND FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES IN FERRITES

Abstract
In the basic spinel NiFe2O4, ions of larger and larger ionic radius, Zn2+ and Cd2+, have been introduced with higher and higher concentrations. The corresponding materials of composition Ni1-xZnxFe2O4 and Ni1-xCdxFe2O4 have been prepared by using a special technologic process. The lattice constant increases linearly with the mean ionic radius in tetrahedral site. The variation of the Curie temperature due to a variation of the distance between magnetic ions is evaluated. The contribution to the Curie temperature due to the magnetic carriers distribution is shown by plotting a single intercomposition hypothetic curve. In the same way the influence upon the magnetization value of the variation of the distance between magnetic ions has been evaluated. Results obtained on spinels have been compared with those deduced from literature data in the case of garnets
