TiO₂-Doped Ni_0.4Cu_0.3Zn_0.3Fe₂O₄ Nanoparticles for Enhanced Structural and Magnetic Properties.

ABSTRACT: TiO₂ (0-10 wt %)-doped nanocrystalline Ni_0.4Cu_0.3Zn_0.3Fe₂O₄ (Ni-Cu-Zn) ferrites were synthesized using the sol-gel route of synthesis. The cubic spinel structure of the ferrites having the Fd3m space group was revealed from the analysis of Rietveld refined X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. The secondary phase of TiO₂ with a space group of I41/amd was observed within the ferrites with doping, x > 3 wt %. The values of lattice parameter were enhanced with the addition of TiO₂ up to 5 wt % and reduced further for the highest experimental doping of 10 wt %. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images exhibit the spherical shape of the synthesized particles with
