Introduction
 In recent years, the magnetic materials have more demand in

information and communication technology, because of their high

frequency applications.
 Ni-Zn ferrite exhibits favorable properties such as high resistivity,
low eddy current losses and high saturation magnetization.
The trend for down sizing electronic equipment’s and the potential
applications of ferrite materials have lead to the fabrication of ferrites
thin films.

The bulk component of ferrites can not be compatible with rapid

development of electronic applications.
 But, the thin films of ferrite are used in microwave integrated
circuits (MIC), and essential for the miniaturization of magnetic
products.

Ferrite
 Ferrites are the most important magnetic materials, without which
we can not think about technological revolution.
 These are very well established group of magnetic materials of the
transition metal oxides.

 Ferrites are mixed metal oxides with iron oxide as their main
component having general formula MFe2O4.

Classification of ferrites
 Soft Ferrite: Ferrites with low coercive force are called soft
ferrites.
eg. Nickel-zinc ferrite, Manganese-zinc ferrite etc.

 Hard Ferrite: Ferrites with high coercive force are called hard
ferrite.
eg. Barrium ferrite , Stonsium ferrite etc.

Spinel Ferrite

 The spinel structure is derived from the mineral spinel, which was
first determined by Bragg in 1915.

 Spinel ferrites are very stable due to their stable crystal structure,
and they are predominantly ionic.

Crystal structure of Spinel Ferrite

Tetrahedral site

- A Site ions
- B Site ions
- Oxygen ions

Octahedral site

64 tetrahedral sites – only 8 surrounded by divalent metal ions (A-Site)

32 octahedral sites – only 16 surrounded trivalent metal ions (B-Site)

Types of spinel ferrite
1) Normal spinel ferrite: [M2+]A[Fe3+2]B O2-4

2) Inverse spinel ferrite: [Fe3+]A [M2+ Fe3+] BO2-4

3) Random spinel ferrite: [M2+x Fe3+1-x]A [M2+1-xFe3+1+x]B O2-4

Conclusions
 Preparation of NixZn1-xFe2O4 thin films by using spray pyrolysis technique
is possible.

 The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals that the NixZn1-xFe2O4 thin
films are polycrystalline with spinel cubic structure.
 The SEM images show the surface of the film is smooth and having
uniform nature.
The conduction mechanism can be understood from the AC conductivity
studies.

19
The dielectric constant decreases with increase in frequency.
The grain boundary behaviour can be studied from the impedance
spectroscopy.
