Abstract
In this work, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RAMAN) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements were employed to investigate the crystal structure, chemical bonding and magnetic properties of the nanocrystalline Zinc, Nickel and Nickel-Zinc ferrites (ZnFe2O4, NiFe2O4 and Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) which were synthesized by sol-gel combustion method. Moreover, the composition of elements and the electronic structure including the cation distribution for all ferrite samples were examined through synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra. The overall characterization results indicate that the different amount of zinc and nickel ions in ferrites has crucial effect on their physical, magnetism and the site occupancy distribution of Fe3+ ions. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
