Abstract

In this research, influence of adding Li₂CO₃ (at 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%) on electrical and magnetic properties of ${Ni}_{0.6}$ ${Mg}_{0.4}$ Fe₂O₄ (with 60% Ni and 40% Mg) ferrite has been studied. The samples are prepared by solid state reaction method and sintered at 1300^∘C for 6h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show the samples belong to single-phase cubic structure without any impurity phase. The magnetic properties (saturation magnetization and coercivity) of the samples have been investigated by VSM and found that the higher concentration of Li₂CO₃ reduces the hysteresis loss. DC resistivity increases with Li₂CO₃ contents whereas it decreases initially and then becomes constant at lower value with temperature which indicates that the studied samples are semiconductor. The dielectric dispersion occurs at a low-frequency regime and the loss peaks are formed in a higher frequency regime, which are due to the presence of resonance between applied frequency and hopping frequency of charge carriers. Notably, the loss peaks are shifted to the lower frequency with Li₂CO₃ additions.
