Abstract

The effect of substitution of silver (Ag) on the structural, electric, dielectric and magnetic properties of nano-CoFe2O4 synthesized via green synthesis using okra plant extract is investigated. The lattice parameters and inverse spinel structure of Ag-substituted CoFe2O4 is confirmed from Rietveld refinement of the x-ray diffraction measurements, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectra. A lattice expansion is observed due to the incorporation of larger Ag ions into the CoFe2O4 lattice. Field emission scanning electron micrography analyses elucidate the formation of poly-faceted surfaces with reduction in particle size on Ag doping. The temperature dependent impedance and modulus study reveals the presence of relaxation phenomenon which is dependent on frequency and temperature. Frequency dependent dielectric measurements with increasing temperature obey the modified Debye model. Dielectric loss in the negative region for Ag-doped CoFe2O4 signifies the change of polarization direction due to an increase of Co2+/Fe2+ ratio for the substitution of Ag ions in the B site. Magnetic hysteresis curves exhibit a low field hysteresis loop at room temperature indicating the long-range ferromagnetic ordering nature of the samples. Low loss and high dielectric values make these materials a promising candidate for high frequency devices.
