Structural Properties of Neodymium Substituted Cobalt Ferrite Synthesized by Standard Ceramic Technique
Abstract: Neodymium substituted Cobalt ferrite having molecular formula CoFe2-xNdXO4 where (x = 0.00, 0.05 and 0.10) samples have been prepared by standard ceramic technique. The structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction technique. X-ray diffraction data shows single phase cubic spinel structure for x=0.00 sample and extra peak of neodymium is observed in substituted cobalt ferrite sample where x= 0.05 and x=0.10. The structural parameters lattice constant a (?), crystallite size t (nm) and X-ray density decreases and porosity increases with substitution of Neodymium in cobalt ferrite. The values of the tetrahedral and octahedral bondlength (dAX and dBX), the tetrahedral edge (dAXE), and the shared and unshared octahedral edge (dBEX and dBXEU) and Hopping length (LA, LB) values are depend on the lattice parameter so, the lattice parameter decreases so the Hopping length (LA, LB) also decreases with increasing neodymium (Nd+3) substitution content in cobalt ferrite CoFe2-xNdxO4 (x = 0.00, 0.05 and 0.10).
