Abstract :
MnZn ferrites substituted with titanium having the compositional formula of Mn0.679-xZn0.258TixFe2.066O4 (x = 0, 0.010, 0.020, 0.030) were prepared via a conventional ceramic process. The effect of titanium concentration on magnetic properties such as permeability, power loss, and Curie temperature were investigated. Moreover, Mössbauer spectra was recorded at room temperature. The cation distribution obtained from analysis of Mössbauer spectra revealed that the substitution of MnZn ferrites by titanium can move part of Fe3+ from octahedral (B) site to tetrahedral (A) site. Remarkably, this resulted in an increase in the amount of Fe2+A-Fe3+B ion pairs and the Curie temperature. The results obtained and mechanisms involved are discussed.
