Abstract

The impact of transition metals on ferrite (iron (III) oxide) compounds is investigated in this study. Ferrite samples were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. X-ray analysis unveiled the presence of the Fe-phase in the trivalent state, showcasing a single-phased cubic spinel framework with a preferred orientation along the (311) reflection plane. Crystallite sizes were determined for CdFe₃O₄, ZnFe₃O₄, and CoFe₃O₄utilizing the Scherer equation, yielding values of 10.54 nm, 18.76 nm, and 32.63 nm, respectively. Zinc ferrite displayed an intermediate photonic nature compared to cobalt and cadmium ferrite, with cadmium ferrite showing high optical losses and cobalt ferrite exhibiting minimal optical losses. EDX analysis confirmed the presence of Zn²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cd²⁺, and O^2?ions in the correct ratios, supporting the intended stoichiometric composition. Optical assessment revealed that CoFe₃O₄nanoparticles are well-suited for optoelectronic devices, ultraviolet detectors, and infrared (IR) detectors. VSM measurements of cobalt ferrite exhibited higher coercivity and magnetic saturation compared to other samples. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy revealed multiple colors, including cyan, green, and yellow, at different wavelengths for the ferrite samples. These findings suggest that the synthesized samples are suitable materials for high-frequency devices owing to their robust magnetic properties. Cadmium ferrite displayed a multi-magnetic domain structure, contrasting with the single-magnetic domain structure observed in zinc and cobalt ferrite.
