Abstract

Ferrites with compositional expression as X. Fe2O4 where X is any dopant (mono, divalent and trivalent ion) are a class of materials which are semiconductors in nature and can also be easily magnetized, acquiring excellent electrical and magnetic properties. Ferrites comprise iron oxide (Fe2O3) in combination with chemically balanced dopants and possess high chemical stability, high Curie temperature, tunable shape and particle size. Ferrites are mainly categorized into soft, hard and mixed ferrites, and due to their superior properties, they can be used as inductors, transformers, electronic absorbers, sensors, etc. The application can also be extended to biomedical, waste water management and in catalysis, etc. Applications are mainly dependent on properties which are tailored to match the operational aspects of ferrites, and this further depends on the dopants used while synthesis. The dopants are selected based on the valency, ionic size, crystal structure, melting point, and magnetic moment and upon do** optimize magnetic and electrical properties. Along with the nature of dopants, the structural properties such as density, Curie temperature and porosity can be modified by selecting different synthesis routes and sintering techniques/conditions.
