Influence of composition ratio on structural, optical and magnetic properties of NiFe2O4/(1−x)MnO−xCoO composites
NiFe 2 O 4 and NiFe 2 O 4 /[(1− x )MnO− x CoO] ( x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1) samples were produced utilizing co-precipitation procedure. The possibility of formed samples with a single phase or nanocomposite in NiFe 2 O 4 /[(1− x )MnO− x CoO] system was studied using search match progra...

The compositions and morphologies of the samples were explored using Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, scanning electron microscope images and transmission electron microscope techniques. The linear and nonlinear optical characteristics of the samples with different composition (

) were investigated using UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra. The optical bandgap value of NiFe

(NFO) reduced regularly from 1.59 to 1.43 eV in the sample with
x
= 0.1 (single phase structure). In the samples with the composite structures, the optical band gap reduced irregularly attained its lowest value (1.13 eV) for the sample with
x
= 0.9. NFO showed superparamagnetic nature while other samples displayed good ferromagnetic characteristics. The saturation magnetization values for pure NFO and samples with
x
= 0.0, 0.5 and 1.0 are 38.1, 29.7, 26.81 and 22.34 emu/gm, respectively. The remanence (M
