Lattice parameter variation and magnetization studies on titanium-, zirconium-, and tin-substituted nickel-zinc ferrites

Abstract

The variation of lattice parameter, saturation magnetization, and Curie temperature on the addition of Ti4+, Zr4+, and Sn4+ to some Ni-Zn ferrite compositions are reported and the results are explained on the basis of the movement of the substituting ions first to the tetrahedral and finally to the octahedral sites of the spinel lattice.
