Abstract

Bismuth-substituted nickel-zinc ferrites have been synthesized by a solution route in the composition range Ni0.5Zn0.5BixFe2.0-xO4, with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2. X-ray diffraction data indicate that bismuth most likely exists in the Bi5+ state within the spinel structure. The saturation magnetization is found to decrease as the bismuth concentration is enhanced. This can be explained on the basis of two sublattices in the spinel structure, with Bi5+ ions replacing some of the Fe2+ ions. The variation of the electrical conductivity with temperature is explained using small polaron hopping between Fe2+ and Fe3+ sites.
