Dn. Bhosale et al., BULK MAGNETIC STUDIES ON COXZN1-XFE2O4 SUBSTITUTED WITH AL AND GD2O3, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 124(3), 1993, pp. 298-300
The variation of normalised susceptibility with temperature for CoxZn1
-xFe2O4 (X = 0, 0.5, 0.7) reveals that CoFe2O4 contains single-domain
(SD) grains. The composition with x = 0.7 also contains SD grains but
with uniaxial anisotropy, while the composition with x = 0.5 contains
multi-domain (MD) particles. Substitution of Al or Gd2O3 has no effect
on either MD or SD grains. The magnetisation increases on the additio
n of Gd2O3, while it decreases on the addition of Al. The lattice para
meter remains unaffected on the addition of either Al or Gd2O3.
