Improving the structural and transport properties of cadmium ferrites with the addition of cerium for high frequency applications

Abstract

Due to their outstanding properties, low cost, and environmental friendliness, mixed transition metal oxides are frequently used in various applications. In this study, Ce3+ doped CdFe2O4 powder samples were prepared through the co-precipitation process. A peak shift was observed towards a lower 2 θ angle with the substitution of Ce3+ at their lattice site and the lattice constant has a maximum value for the x = 0.06 sample with the crystallite size of 34 nm. Moreover, for x = 0.06 sample, the resistivity was found in the order of 106 Ω cm and the dielectric tangent loss had a smaller value. The electrical and dielectric analysis of the as-prepared x = 0.06 sample indicate that it is the best for high-frequency applications.
