Abstract: | Some physical properties (such as lattice parameter, density and porosity) and magnetic properties of the system Mg1‐xZnxFe2O4; where x=0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5and 0.6 have been studied. It was found that the lattice parameter increases with increasing the zinc concentration. The composition dependence of the physical properties is divided into two regions. The first one is for x ≤ 0.3 and the second one is for x > 0.3. From the magnetization measurements, the basic composition (MgFe2O4) shows the lowest magnetization, while the composition of x=0.4 shows the highest one. The behaviour of magnetization M versus composition shows also two regions for x <>0.3. The behaviour of M versus x was discussed in the bases of cation distribution. From the B‐H loops, the remanence induction Br, saturation induction Bs and the coercive force Hc were determined and studied with x. The Curie temperature TC was determined from the measurements of the initial permeability μi versus temperature. It was found TC decreases with increasing Zn‐content. Also paramagnetic temperature TP was determined from the behaviour of MS vs. T. In general it was found TP > TC by about 7‐10 K. |
