Zusammenfassung:•Gadolinium doped NiGdxFe2-xO4 nanoferrites (x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09) are prepared.•Structural, morphological, dielectric and magnetic behavior are studied.•Dielectric behavior of nanoferrites enhanced as the amount of Gd3+ ions increased.•Improved microwave absorption with higher quantities of Gd3+ ions is reported.•The coercive force tends to decrease with an increase in the amount of Gd3+ ions. The sonochemical reaction approach was used to make NiGdxFe2-xO4 nanoferrites (x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09). X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultra violet-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate the optical, magnetic, electrical, and structural properties of NiGdxFe2-xO4 nanoferrites. The creation of a cubic spinel structure was confirmed by analyzing the XRD pattern of these NiGdxFe2-xO4 nanoferrites. The average crystallite diameters of the nanoparticles for the compositions x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09 were 57, 53, 48, 45, and 41 nm, respectively. To investigate the dielectric behavior of the produced nanoferrites, an impedance study was performed. The addition of Gd to NiFe2-xO4 nanoparticles increased the dielectric characteristics of the produced nanoferrites, according to characterization experiments. A cation distribution has been proposed for the determination of various important theoretical parameters for these samples. The addition of Gd3+ nanoparticles has shown the ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature confirmed by VSM analysis. A specific correlation between magnetic interaction and lattice strain was observed in Gd3+ substituted nickel ferrite. An increase in Gd concentration in the manufactured nanoferrites resulted in a rise in saturation magnetization and a decrease in coercivity.
