Abstract

Two series of Sm/Zr substituted Mg-Mn ferrite materials with bulk and nano sizes are developed whose compositions are Mg0.95Mn0.05Sm2xFe2-2xO4 and Mg0.95Mn0.05+xZrxFe2-2xO4 in which x value varies from 0.0 to 0.5. The saturation magnetization (Ms), coercivity (Hc), retentivity (Mr), remnant ratio ®, magneton number (nB) and Curie temperature values are evaluated with initial permeability. Results are explained based on the exchange interactions of magnetic ions with the existing models. Decrease of particle size has a great impact on physical parameters. Variation of saturation magnetization (Ms) and dielectric constant as a function of temperature are performed to verify the multiferroic nature of the present materials. The final results of Sm3+/Zr4+ (samarium/zirconium) substituted Mg-Mn ferrites indicated that they obey both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic nature and are considered as multiferroic materials.
