Abstract
Pure sample Mg0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4 (MCF) and composition in chemical formula Mg0.5Cu0.5Mn0.4TixFe1.6-xO4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. Structural analysis showed a single-phase spinel structure till x = 0.3. The average grain size was found in the range 71–141 nm. The lattice parameter of spinel structure depends on the complex interplay between ions size, and their distribution in tetrahedral (A) and octahedral [B] sites. Electrical properties were studied in the frequency range of 20 Hz–5 MHz at different temperatures. The process of dielectric polarization in ferrites takes place through the effect of hopping between Fe3+ ↔ Mn3+. Temperature and frequency dependence of AC conductivity were explained based on the Verwey mechanism. The low values of dielectric loss for doped samples with (x = 0.15 and 0.30) confirming their applicability in high-frequency memory devices. Impedance study using Cole–Cole representation revealed the appearance of a single semicircle. The bulk conductivity (σdc) evaluated from the complex impedance spectrum shows a smallest value of the activation energy for sample x = 0.6, while the sample x = 0.3 represents the largest value. Impedance parameters values such as resistance (Rg), capacitance (Cg), and activation energy (τg) for the samples at different temperatures were deduced. The grain resistance depends on the titanium concentration, while the activation energy decreases with increased temperatures.
