In this research a sol-gel auto-combustion route has been proposed to synthesize nickel-zinc ferrite nanocrystalline powder, using metal nitrates, citric acid as fuel and ammonia as pH adjusting agent. The influence of pH value of the solution on phase evolution, crystallite size and morphology of as-burnt powders were investigated by XRD, SEM and TEM techniques. The results revealed that with pH=7 the single phase nickel-zinc ferrite nanocrystalline powders with crystallite size of about 27nm were formed directly after auto combustion process.

ZnFe[Formula: see text]La[Formula: see text]O4 nanocrystalline powders were synthesized by auto-combustion with the aid of glycine as fuel. The synthesized powders were subjected to heat treatment in air at constant temperatures (600–970[Formula: see text]C) for a period of 2 h. The annealed powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy. The as-synthesized and annealed powders formed spongy porous network structure with voids and pores. All the powders were found to be single phase nanomaterial with cubic spinel crystal structure and the desired composition; however, they contained strains, dislocations and lattice distortions. Some of these strains and dislocations are relaxed as a function of annealing temperature. The powders displayed direct and indirect optical band gaps. The energies of these band gaps were found to vary as a function of the induced strains and dislocations. It is suggested that the energy of the optical band gap in lanthanum-doped zinc ferrite nanocrystalline powders can be varied as a function of induced strains if the initial preparation conditions and the following heat treatments are controlled.

AbstractNonlead perovskite type, Ba(Cu1/3Nb2/3−xWx)O3 (x = 0, 0.025), ferroelectric ceramic powders (BCN) were prepared by the microwave-assisted citrate-nitrate sol-gel technique. The gel was formed from a stable and homogeneous sol prepared by mixing stable solutions of barium- and copper-nitrate, tungsten citrate, and peroxo-citrato-niobium precursors. Microwave irradiation of the gel resulted in a dark, fluffy precursor material after auto-combustion. Calcination of the as-combusted samples produces a single phase with tetragonal splitting in X-Ray diffraction patterns. The crystallite size of the synthesized samples was found to be 41 nm. Particle morphology and the size of nanocrystalline powders were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and photon correlation spectroscopy, respectively. Electrical and dielectric properties of sintered samples were investigated by impedance spectroscopy. The isothermal ac measurements were performed from room temperature, up to 600 °C for W6+ doped and undoped BCN samples.
