Nanotechnology
Creation of functional (novel) materials, devices and systems through control of matter on nanometer length scale ~ 1-100 nm range. 100 nm is not an arbitrary dividing lineThe deviation of properties of nanosized materials from bulk materials properties are due to surface effects (S/V ratio, particle size, etc.)Motivations in nanoscience is to understand how materials behave when sample sizes are close to atomic dimensions.When characteristic length scale of microstructure is 1-100 nm it becomes comparable with the critical length scales of biological/physical phenomena – so called “size and shape effects”

Resistivity is calculated by the formula:
Resistivity shows exponential dependence on temperature and is given by Arrhenius-type Equation

Activation energy of hopping (Ea) is calculated by plotting resistivity vs 1000/T

Conclusions for Cr doped series
All the samples synthesized are single phase
Lattice parameter ‘a’ decreased from 8.385 to 8.355Å with increase in chromium content, x, from 0 -0.1Resistivity increases with increase (5.59×107-9.66×109 Ωcm) in chromium content and is more suitable for use in high density recording devicesThe activation energy of hopping increases from 0.345-0.520 eV with addition of chromium from 0 - 0.1 The Curie temperature has increased for x≤0.2 (600K to 635K) and then decreases with increase in chromium concentrationMaximum Ms value (119 kAm-1) is observed for Cr = 0.1. Neel’s model of sublattices is applicable for pure and Cr = 0.1 doped cobalt ferrite. For Cr = 0.2 -1.0 Yafet-Kittle model of triangular sublattices is applicable and the canting angle varies from 24o-86o.

Conclusions for Zr-Mg doped cobalt ferrite
All the samples synthesized are single spinel phaseResistivity increases (5.59×107 to 2.75×109 Ωcm) with increase in Zr-Mg content as expectedDielectric constant of the materials has shown irregular trend but overall show an increasing trend. The Curie temperature shows first increase (625K for x=0.1) and then decreasing trend with increase in Zr-Mg concentration (520K for x=0.5) (635 K for Cr doped sample)Zr-Mg addition was expected to increase the saturation magnetization but it has decreased the Ms value from 81 to23.89 kAm-1, suggesting that Neel’s two sub-lattice model is not applicable. Yafet-Kittle model was applied to explain the decrease in Ms values.Yafet-Kittle angles varies from 23o-64o.
