Mm. Abousekkina et al., THE EFFECTS OF GAMMA-RADIATION AND DIFFERENT SUBSTITUTION ON THE SPECTRO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF LA-FERRITE POLYCRYSTALS, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 213(6), 1996, pp. 385-401
Various samples of different substituted La-ferrites (La(1-x1)A(x)1(Fe
1-x2Bx2)O-3) have been prepared by the usual ceramic and high temperat
ure sintering technique. On these specimens several measurements were
carried out, namely, Cu-K-alpha X-ray analysis, true density, bulk den
sity, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorime
try (DSC), IR absorption spectra, electronic absorption spectra and cr
ushing strength before and after gamma-radiation dose (4.5x10(7) rad).
Results reported were promising, interpreted and discussed in detail
on the basis of the interaction of gamma-radiation and different dopan
t cations with La-ferrite lattices. Finally, a suggested lattice struc
ture symbol was put forward.
